The official Dropbox Android client fails with

Caused by com.dropbox.client2.exception.DropboxServerException
       at com.dropbox.client2.RESTUtility.parseAsJSON(RESTUtility.java:265)
       at com.dropbox.client2.RESTUtility.execute(RESTUtility.java:415)
       at com.dropbox.client2.RESTUtility.execute(RESTUtility.java:339)
       at com.dropbox.client2.RESTUtility.streamRequest(RESTUtility.java:194)
       at com.dropbox.client2.RESTUtility.request(RESTUtility.java:124)
       at com.dropbox.client2.DropboxAPI.metadata(DropboxAPI.java:1919)

With DropboxServerException (nginx): 400 Bad Request (v1_retired)

Awesome: client2 apparently uses API v1. So, where can I obtain a new Android client which uses v2? The https://github.com/gini/dropbox-java-sdk/tree/master/src/main/java/com/dropbox/client2 repo does not contain Android-specific bits.

Googling for Dropbox Core Android only finds the old v1 API: https://www.dropbox.com/developers-v1/core/start/android

the DropBox API v1 is now deprecated.

https://blogs.dropbox.com/developers/2017/09/api-v1-shutdown-details/

migrate to API v2 in order to access DropBox from your code. Follow this reference for migration guide.

Ah, the Dropbox Java SDK supports Android as well (even though it doesn't state it explicitly) and provides auth Activities.

The SDK is at https://github.com/dropbox/dropbox-sdk-java After you clone that repo, the Android example is located in the examples/android folder.
