Dropbox Sharing file URL

Question

I am developing an application for Android and which uses Dropbox for organizing the files. I am exploring the Dropbox API but its description and help is limited, as there

A useful thread in the Dropbox forums:

IF The public link for a file is always

dl.dropbox.com/u///filename

then we can just use the API to get and build the public URL in the code.

Perhaps this may also help: Upload a file to Dropbox and copy public address. This script upload a file to your /Public directory and use your accound UID to build it's public URL. Then, it echoes the URL to the console.

I am not there yet in my Dropbox interface implementation, but this is one of the functions I need to develop. More in one or two days I hope.
