I am trying to write an app in Android that when requested will download a specific file from DropBox if the file is available. I have gone through all of the tutorials in the developer section on the DropBox site but I don't think they are really detailed enough as each of the tutorials seem to have bits missing and I haven't been able to get any of them to fully work. This leads me to believe that I have missed something out so I was wondering whether there was a decent tutorial anywhere that properly explains the process of downloading a specific file rather than bringing up DropBox for the user to select the file from dropBox so that I can follow it through and hopefully will help me to understand where I am currently going wrong.
I know there are lots of questions similar to this but most of them state that they can get part of the process to work and need help on a particular part but I don't seem to be able to get anything to work other than the actual linking to my DropBox account I have created a DropBox app and have added the keys etc.
If anyone can help point me in the direction of a decent tutorial that properly explains this process I would be grateful. I thought I should expand on my issue which hopefully will help to identify the problem that I am having. I have created an app in the App Console which allows file sharing; this has also given my key and secret code. I have downloaded and installed the mentioned SDK and have added it to my project; I know this works as without the SDK installed most of the code produces errors.
I have added the beginning part of this tutorial which sets up the authorization to DropBox from my app; this works as when I test it I am taken to a page on my device that requests that I select the correct DropBox account.
Up to this part I have no issues with and it all seems to work. I have tested all of these separately but for each one I get an Exception error; the errors seem to mention something called "json" and a class not being found. The tutorial does not mention needing to install another SDK or any other library files so I am unsure whether it is assuming that something has already been done which I have not known about so hasn't been done.
