Update April 2017:
Google has changed the ability to use a Webview to get an OAuth-Token. Due to this change it no longer works to get an OAuth-Token using a Webview.
This library is not useable anymore except if you use the Lib only using YOUR token which is hardcoded in your app. This will work.
But if you need to get Access to a Users Dropbox then you can´t use this lib anymore. I suggest to switch to my Java-Wrap for the Drobox Api V2. Here you are able to get an OAuth-Token as this lib does not depend on a Webview.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
As you can read here Dropbox has decided to deprecate the Sync and Datastore APIs over the next 12 months. Drobox has now released an new preview site for the new V2 API
Dropbox released an API Explorer for their V2 api.
See the announce too for the explorer.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This thread is about the HTTP version of the new Dropbox V2 api.
See the documentation here: https://www.dropbox.com/developers-preview/documentation/http#documentation
The attached B4A Library is using this new HTTP Api
The Library is available as Library (jar + xml). Please download DropboxV2_libraryfiles_v091.zip to get the files. Extract the content to your additional Librariespath
Please download DropboxHTTPv2librarysource_V0.91 if you want to change the class. Use this project and compile it to a library to get the correct jar and xml created by yourself
In most cases you dont need this one.

First we need to initialize the Class
If you want to use the class just "with your dropbox" then you can create a access_token in the Dropbox App console.
You can find an example of not using pre-created access_token in Post #45 of this thread.. It is using the OAuth2 Flow to get access to a users Dropbox.
In order they are listed on the Previewdocumentation site i´ll post Examples (or just description on how to) for each of the used endpoints.
Get information about a user's account. In this case it wil get informations about MY (DonManfred) dropboxaccount.
Get information about the current user's account. It will result in giving YOUR (the developer) account.
Get the space usage information for the current user's account.
Returns the metadata for a file or folder.
Returns the contents of a folder.
NOTE (from Dropbox): We're definitely going to streamline this interface.
A way to quickly get a cursor for the folder's state. Unlike list_folder, list_folder/get_latest_cursor doesn't return any entries. This endpoint is for app which only needs to know about new files and modifications and doesn't need to know about files that already exist in Dropbox.
Download a file from a user's Dropbox.
As i´m writing this forumpost i see that this method is missing a event when finished. It is working and saving the file as you can see it in the logs but the event is missing. TODO
Start a new upload session. This is used to upload a single file with multiple calls. I´ve tried it with files up to 20mb but should work with 500mb as well.
Create a new file with the contents provided in the request. Should only be used for small files. Maybe up to for example 2mb... It is using ONE httputilscall to transfer the file.
Searches for files and folders in your dropbox.
Create a folder at a given path.
No file or folder may exist at the path. The parent folder will be created if it does not already exist (and so on). If the parent exists it must be a folder (and the same for any ancestor). If an ancestor is a shared folder it must have write access.
Delete the file or folder at a given path.
If the path is a folder all its contents will be deleted too.
If the path is a folder all its contents will be deleted too.
This method is NOT FINISHED as yet. DON´T USE it actually. TODO
Get a thumbnail for an image.
Return revisions of a file
Update:: August, 20th, 2017
If you want to use Dropbox to connect to the USERS Dropbox (not YOURS) then you should look at the DropboxV2-OAuth2.zip example. It shows the way on how to get an Axccesstoken using the V2 endpoints.
The following methods are missing totally as yet: TODO
- Restore
TODO:
-
Dependencies:
- httputils2 (okHTTP)
- JSON
- RandomAcessFile
- KeyValueStore (used in example but not really needed by the class or Library)
This Class is open source and free to used and extended by anyone!
If you want to donate for my work building the class you can do it here:
