API v2 - Longpoll Objective C

Hello,

 

I want a good example of a using ListFolderLongpoll, I am getting cursor errors and find little documentation as to how to receive changes notification.

 

I am using ObjC SDK V2.

    Hi Raheel, you can find the documentation for listFolderLongpoll itself here.

     

    Using it would look like this:

     

    // cursor should be the Files.ListFolderResult.cursor as retrieved by the last call to listFolderContinue
    DropboxClientsManager.authorizedClient?.files.listFolderLongpoll(cursor: cursor).response(completionHandler: { (result, error) in
        if ((result) != nil) {
            if (result?.changes)! {
                // There are changes, so call listFolderContinue to retrieve them
            } else {
                // listFolderLongpoll didn't report changes, so call listFolderLongpoll again
            }
        } else if ((error) != nil) {
            // Perform whatever error handling you want here
        }
    })
