Box Android Content SDK

This SDK makes it easy to use Box's Content API in your Android projects.

Quickstart

Step 1: Add the SDK to your project

The SDK can be obtained by adding it as a maven dependency, cloning the source into your project, or by downloading one of the precompiled JARs from the releases page on GitHub.

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.box</groupId>
    <artifactId>box-android-sdk</artifactId>
</dependency>

This SDK has the following dependencies and will need to be included if you use the JAR:

• minimal-json v0.9.1 (for maven: com.eclipsesource.minimal-json:minimal-json:0.9.1)

Step 2: Set the Box Client ID, Client Secret, and Redirect URI(if set) that you obtain from creating a developer account

BoxConfig.CLIENT_ID = "your-client-id";
BoxConfig.CLIENT_SECRET = "your-client-secret";
// must match the redirect_uri set in your developer account if one has been set. Redirect uri should not be of type file:// or content://.
BoxConfig.REDIRECT_URL = "your-redirect-uri";

Step 3: Authenticate a User

// This will present the necessary UI for a user to authenticate into Box. 
// Pass in the current context.
BoxSession session = new BoxSession(MainActivity.this);
session.authenticate();

Sample App

A sample app can be found in the box-content-sample folder. The sample app demonstrates how to authenticate a user, view the user's files and folders, and upload a file.
