Android Question Dropbox SDK V2 - Java - File Search

[Tempomaster]

Hello,

The dropbox library by DonManfred works great:

https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/dropbox-sdk-v2-java.74019/

Unfortunately I can not search for a file:

dbxFiles.search("","searchfile.zip",??????,1,1)

I need help what you specify for the mode (??????). At which event do you receive the result? I thank you in advance.

"1" for "??????" this leads to the following error:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: No enum constant com.dropbox.core.v2.files.SearchMode.1

"FILENAME" for "??????" this leads to the following error:

"java.lang.Exception: Sub dbxfiles_search was not found."

Best regards,
Gunnar

Try V0.44 (Librarythread)

    dbxFiles.search("","Beratereffizienz.xlsx","FILENAME",10,0)

Add the (NEW) Event. It was not working at all in V0.43

Sub dbxFiles_Search(results As List)
    Log($"dbxFiles_Search(${results})"$)
    If results.Size > 0 Then
        For i = 0 To results.Size-1
            Dim match As Map = results.Get(i)
            Log(match.Get("MatchType"))
            Dim meta As Metadata = match.Get("Metadata")
          
            Log("MatchType: "&match.Get("MatchType")&":"&meta.Name&" -> "& meta.PathDisplay)
        Next
    End If

End Sub

BTW Mention "Dropbox Java" should be enough.
I am the only one who wrote wrappers for the V2 Api. I´ll see the thread ;-)

Thank you for the quick help. There is one more problem, though:

dbxFiles.search("","osm_daten.zip","FILENAME",20,0)

Brings these search results:

"osm_daten.zip"
"osm_daten_gb.zip"
"osm_daten_fr.zip"
"osm_daten_it.zip"

 

[Tempomaster]

For the sake of completeness, I would like to mention that I had to download the file dropbox-core-sdk-3.0.10.jar earlier:

http://central.maven.org/maven2/com/dropbox/core/dropbox-core-sdk/3.0.10/dropbox-core-sdk-3.0.10.jar

This file must be copied to the "USERLIB" folder of B4A.

 

[DonManfred]

Brings these search results:

"osm_daten.zip"
"osm_daten_gb.zip"
"osm_daten_fr.zip"
"osm_daten_it.zip"

I don´t know how the search engine of dropbox is working. If you are searching for a specific file then i guess you need to check the results given.

For the sake of completeness, I would like to mention that I had to download the file dropbox-core-sdk-3.0.10.jar earlier

ohh, yes. I regularly update the core sdk from dropbox. Forget to mention it ;-)

 

[Tempomaster]

All right. I think that's an overlooked bug. But it is correct that you can easily check the results again. My Dropbox directory is certainly a very special case.

So again my sincerest thanks for your quick help.

That's hard to believe. The problem is the Dropbox search itself. I started the search directly in Firefox (see attachment). I do not know a search tool that works like this. It does not make sense either.

Fully agree. If the Match contains a "possibility" Value 0 to 100% that would make sense somehow.

If you know the correct path then it would be easier probably to get a filelist of this folder and check the result.
If you have millions of files in this folder then the four matches is a good result i think.

But i aggree. I would not expect it like this. Or at least i would expect a parameter to change the behaviour.

Here is the answer that there is really no solution:

Completely incomprehensible.
