Retrieving file names from a specific Dropbox folder in ArrayList

Question

I have image files stored in a Dropbox folder. I wanted to get all the file names in an ArrayList and display these images in a ListView or say GridView. Dropbox api is not very well documented for beginners. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The documentation for Dropbox is far from the worst I've seen. You need to use the metadata path, as my example below.

 List<String> arrList = new ArrayList<String>();
 Entry entries = mDropboxApi.metadata("/metadata", 100, null, true, null);

 for (Entry e : entries.contents) {
     if (!e.isDeleted && !e.isDir) {
         arrList.add(e.fileName);
     }
 }
