Invalid_access_token with the android example app
I am trying to run the Android example app in the api v2 Github repo. I followed exactly what the README section mentioned, the app successfully run. But after I log in, I can view my files, but when...
I am not sure still what application you are trying to build and run (you didn't share a link to yet). One more thing you should take care about is what are scopes you have queried at moment of authentication (at runtime). Even when you have enabled all available scopes at application creation time, those scopes are available for application key only. When you recieve authentication token (the one actually used by Dropbox API), its scopes set is a subset of application key set (not mandatory entire - i.e. you can query at run time only 2 scopes from all available, for example). Make sure you have queried all scopes too (all needed, at least) on token query time!
Hope this gives right direction.
The error message is self explanatory enough. 😉 Did you add in your set of scopes all needed scopes at the application creation time? 🧐 Seems not. In the particular case, the error shows you that the "files.content.read" scope is missing. Just be more careful on application creation! 🙂
Hope this helps.
