Android Dropbox API v2 auto access using access token

Question

In android API v1 I am able to pass access token through which I didn't need to login to Dropbox. In api v2 can you please let me know how to do that?

In API v2 auto access can be done without the following code -

Auth.startOAuth2Authentication(MainActivity.this, Constants.APP_KEY);

Please provide me any solution.

Answer 1

Yes, using the Dropbox API v2 Java SDK, you can still directly supply an access token without starting the authorization flow.

To do so, you can use a DbxClientV2 constructor that takes an OAuth 2 access token directly.

Note that it is still highly discouraged to distribute access tokens for a particular account in a client-side app, as discussed in this post .
