Android Question DropboxV2 and Android 12

[Juan Vargas (Bioagro)]

In a device using Android 12, when getting into the page to allow dropbox to be used, I get this message:
no apps can perform this action.

I am missing something? It works in Android 11

 

[Erel]

Does it work with intents?
Is Dropbox installed?

 

[zed]

What version of dropbox v2 are you using.
What is the dropbox SDK version.
Can you post an example

 

[Juan Vargas (Bioagro)]

Is Dropbox installed?

Dropbox is not installed
Pardon my ignorance, what do you mean by work with intents? Im using the library dropboxv2 last version, haven't try anything else.

 

[Juan Vargas (Bioagro)]

What version of dropbox v2 are you using.
What is the dropbox SDK version.
Can you post an example

Dropbox 0.60
Can't post the example, the app has more than 50,000 lines and is huge. I have to make a small app to test.
But I think is here where happens

    If auth.OAuth2Token <> Null Then
        If auth.OAuth2Token <> "" Then
            token = auth.OAuth2Token
            DropboxEnabled = True
            Starter.kvs.Put("token", token)
            Log("Token available. Dropbox enabled")
            configDbx.Initialize("",token,"","de-de",5)
            Dim dbxhost As DbxHost
            dbxhost.Initialize
            clientDbx.Initialize("Dropbox",configDbx,token,dbxhost)
            dbxFiles = clientDbx.files
            dbxFiles.setEventname("dbxFiles")
            dbxSharing = clientDbx.sharing
            dbxSharing.setEventname("dbxSharing")
            dbxUsers = clientDbx.users
            dbxUsers.setEventname("dbxUsers")
            
        Else
            Log($"Token = """$)
        End If
    Else
        Log("Token is NULL")
        If token <> "" Then
            Log("Try to use the know token...")
            dbxUsers.CurrentAccount ' Tested!
        End If
    End If

This code is correct and works very well.
Do you have a valid token?
You didn't answer my question.
What dropbox SDK version are you using?

Yes, I told you. Version 0.60
I have a valid token. This works fine in Android 11. But not in 12 or 13. I get the message no apps can perform this action

Version 0.60

This is the SDK developed by @DonManfred. You need to add the Dropbox SDK. Thanks DonManfred



Check the dropboxV2.xml file in the additional library.
You should have this at the end of the file.

<version>0.6</version>
<comment>The Dropbox library allows you to communicate with Dropbox</comment>
<author>DonManfred (wrapper)</author>
<dependsOn>dropbox-core-sdk-5.2.0</dependsOn> <-- Version of dropbox you are using
<dependsOn>jackson-core-2.7.4</dependsOn>

Make sure the Dropbox SDK version matches this line. Otherwise, modify it with your SDK version.

In my additional libraries folder, I have this.
dropbox-core-sdk-5.2.0.jar
DropboxV2.jar
DropboxV2.xml
jackson-core-2.7.4.jar

If you have all of this in your additional library folder, then there is another problem.
Please check your configuration

 

[DonManfred]

I have a valid token

please post the token. At least the first 10 characters of it. No need to post the full token.

It may be a ShortLife token.
Note that you can no longer create longlife Token from Dropboxconsole.

To support shortlife-token the library needs a rework. It is planned but i don´t had the time to do so... I´m even not sure if that is the issue here though.

yes, I confirm that I have the same configuration as yours

At first, there is no token, everything happens in this code segment

Sub BtnRestoreDropBox_Click
    Lbl_DropBoxHacerBackup.Text = f.GetLg("Restaurando Backup")
    StateManager.SaveState(Activity, "Main")
  
    If ENPROCESO = True Then
        Return
    End If
    ENPROCESO = True
    Dim dummy As String
    dummy = Starter.kvs.GetDefault("tokendb", "")
    If dummy <> "" Then
        token = dummy
        'lblToken.Text = token
        Log("Token available (Activity Create. Try to enable Dropbox with this token")
        configDbx.Initialize("",token,"","de-de",5)
        Dim dbxhost As DbxHost
        dbxhost.Initialize
        clientDbx.Initialize("Dropbox",configDbx,token,dbxhost)
        dbxFiles = clientDbx.files
        dbxFiles.setEventname("dbxFiles")
        dbxSharing = clientDbx.sharing
        dbxSharing.setEventname("dbxSharing")
        dbxUsers = clientDbx.users
        dbxUsers.setEventname("dbxUsers")
      
    End If
    DropboxEnabled = False

    auth.Initialize("mifkq3tp0ieeubm")
    downloadrunning = False
    If dummy <> "" Then
        SetDropboxToken("aaa")
    Else
        auth.startOAuth2Authentication
    End If
  
End Sub

Then, the line auth.startOAuth2Authentication open the browser, when I click 'Allow', I get the message.

I was trying to run the sample posted by you in the DropboxV2, I changed the targetsdk to 33 and changed the filedirrootexternal to internal, but the B4A bridge after trying to install I get this message

There was a problem parsing the package

*The allow from unknown sources is enabled.

That sample worked for me in another device using Android 11.
This Android 12 and 13 are giving me a big headache. It was some time since I didnt touch my apps, the were running fine, until a little change had to be done and I upgraded my b4a compiler, Android files and got phones with Android 12 and 13. Bluethooth problems, dropbox problems etc....I cant imagine with Android 14.

If you have the same configuration, you must put in the minifest android:targetSdkVersion="30"/> maximum 30

Here is my manifest

AddManifestText(
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="21" android:targetSdkVersion="30"/>
<supports-screens android:largeScreens="true"
    android:normalScreens="true"
    android:smallScreens="true"
    android:anyDensity="true"/>)
SetApplicationAttribute(android:icon, "@drawable/icon")
SetApplicationAttribute(android:label, "$LABEL$")
CreateResourceFromFile(Macro, Themes.LightTheme)
'End of default text.

AddApplicationText(<activity
 android:name="com.dropbox.core.android.AuthActivity"
 android:configChanges="orientation|keyboard"
 android:launchMode="singleTask" >
<intent-filter>
  <data android:scheme="db-xxxxTOKENxxxx" />
<action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
  <category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
  <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
</intent-filter>

</activity>)

Higher than SDK 30, I couldn't get it to work

 

[DonManfred]

Higher than SDK 30, I couldn't get it to work

try the new Version 0.65 together with the new additional files.
Note the new Manifestchanges

I tried it with targetSDK 31 on my Samsung device running Android 12. Even 33

Sorry, in Android 11 Im getting this

    Dim meta  As FolderMetadata = metaobj

End Sub
