Android Question Connecting to Dropbox can't find jar

Brad Henderson · Oct 24, 2023

Hello Experts,
I am trying to build an app to connect to my Dropbox on an android tablet. I am using DonManfreds tutorial from 2016.
I set a breakpoint to debug but before I get to that point I get the error "Cannot find file:"C:\Program Files.....\dropbox-core-sdk-5.0.0.jar"
In the library folder I have "....\DropboxV2.jar" I cannot find a "dropbox-core-sdk-5.0.0.jar" anywhere on the web? I am clearly not understanding how this works so any help is appreciated.
I have a token, app key and app secret but clearly don't know enough. Could you point me towards a basic example or another tutorial?
Thanks
Brad

I suggest to use the newest one

https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.dropbox.core/dropbox-core-sdk/5.4.6

Don´t forget to update the depedency

Thank you Manfred. I have placed that .jar file in the library. I have not used a dependency before where is that updated?

DonManfred · Oct 24, 2023

check the library xml file. look at the end of that file for dependencies.

The only xml file I could find was "dropbox-core-sdk-5.4.6.pom" should I rename this to .xml?

you are looking at the wrong place.
The b4a-library here in forum has a jar and a xml-file. This xml is meant. You probably put them into the additional library folder.

Sorry to be pain but when I went to mvnrepository from the link above, the files showed " pom (1 KB) jar (7.7 MB) View All" when I clicked on .jar(7.7MB) only the jar file was downloaded. The .pom(1kb) file was an xml file but there was no file with an xml extension. Am I not downloading correctly?

Again. Check the B4A-Libraries XML. NOT the MAVEN-Download.

Where did you download the B4A Dropbox Library? The download contains a jar and a XML

Brad Henderson · Oct 25, 2023

I downloaded "DropboxV2.jar" & "DropboxV2.xml" from your Dec 12 2016 post "Dropbox SDK V2 - Java" The only reference I can find to "dropbox-core-sdk-5.0.0.jar" is from the "https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.dropbox.core/dropbox-core-sdk/5.4.6" link you gave me above. So I don't know where to look for a "dropbox-core-sdk-5.0.0.xml".

Check this XML. That´s what i´m talking all the time here.

use the xml from this zip

Thanks again Manfred. Do I need the "dropbox-core-sdk-5.0.0.jar" file or is that incorporated in "DropboxV2.jar" ?
