Android Question Dropbox Refresh Token

[Brad Henderson]

I have created a Dropbox Refresh Token using this method: https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Dro.../Issue-in-generating-access-token/td-p/592667

I am using B4A version 12.80 and the Dropbox SDK developed by @DonManfred version .65. But I can't find out how or where to use this Refresh Token.

Your help is appreciated
Brad

Recently, I created a Dropbox app. I had no idea how to do it.
I followed DonManfred's tutorial and the authentication worked correctly the first time.

i think something in the sdk has changed.
It was Version 2 of the dropbox-core when i developed the library.
The SDK is now at Version 6 of dropbox-core.

I may need to find out what of the dropbox SDK needs to get wrapped to support the new refreshtoken.

If you found some examples (in java) which used the authentification in Android i can help wrapping them.
I did not had the time to search for - working - examples for Android so far....

Thank you zed,
I have also used DonManfred's tutorial and have finally been able to access my Dropbox. What I was hoping to do was use the new Refresh Token option so that the user did not have to continue to seek authorisation when the AccessToken expires (about 4 hours I believe). My user will work with the app for 3-5 hours at a time so it will almost certainly expire. Thanks for your help.

Hello Manfred,
Thank you for your reply, I will continue to search for a working example in java.
