Class DbxWebAuthNoRedirect

java.lang.Object

com.dropbox.core.DbxWebAuthNoRedirect

public class DbxWebAuthNoRedirect
extends Object

Does the OAuth web-based authorization flow for apps that can't provide a redirect URI (such as the command-line example apps that come with this SDK). If you're a normal website, use the DbxWebAuth class instead.

Eventually yields an access token that can be used with DbxClient to make Dropbox API calls. You typically only need to do this for a user when they first use your application. Once you have an access token for that user, it remains valid for years.

Example:

 String userLocale = ...
 DbxRequestConfig requestConfig = new DbxRequestConfig("text-edit/0.1", userLocale);
 DbxAppInfo appInfo = DbxAppInfo.Reader.readFromFile("api.app");
 DbxWebAuthNoRedirect webAuth = new DbxWebAuthNoRedirect(requestConfig, appInfo);

 String authorizeUrl = webAuth.start();
 System.out.println("1. Go to " + authorizeUrl);
 System.out.println("2. Click \"Allow\" (you might have to log in first).");
 System.out.println("3. Copy the authorization code.");
 System.out.print("Enter the authorization code here: ");

 String code = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in)).readLine();
 if (code == null) return;
 code = code.trim();

 DbxAuthFinish authFinish = webAuth.finish(code);

 DbxClient client = new DbxClient(requestConfig, authFinish.accessToken);
