Class DbxWebAuthNoRedirect

  • @Deprecated
public class DbxWebAuthNoRedirect
extends java.lang.Object
    Deprecated.
    use DbxWebAuth instead with a DbxWebAuth.Request configured with no redirect URI (see DbxWebAuth.Request.Builder.withNoRedirect()).
    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 with a DbxWebAuth.Request configured to use a redirect URI.

    This class is deprecated and should no longer be used. Instead use DbxWebAuth and DbxWebAuth.Request.Builder.withNoRedirect() to start an OAuth web-based authorization flow without redirects.

    Eventually yields an access token that can be used with DbxClientV2 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);

 DbxClientV2 client = new DbxClientV2(requestConfig, authFinish.accessToken);
