BoxItem.Info returns null for various properties

Hello,

I am quite new to Box API and I am just trying to write my first integration with Box Java SDK. I have followed the tutorial and managed to get a list of root folder files:

BoxFolder folder = BoxFolder.getRootFolder(api);
for (BoxItem.Info itemInfo : folder) {
    if (itemInfo instanceof BoxFile.Info) {
        BoxFile.Info fileInto = (BoxFile.Info) itemInfo;
        // do something with the fileInfo
    } 
}

When I call fileInfo.getID() or fileInfo.getName(), I get the correct values. However, fileInfo.getSize() or fileInfo.getModifiedAt() always returns null. Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks for any help.

Filip

Could you please check you need to use "fileInto" or "fileInfo" ?

That was a typo. This is the correct line:
```
BoxFile.Info fileInfo = (BoxFile.Info) itemInfo;
```

It's one more call.

       for (BoxItem.Info item : items) {
          if (item instanceof BoxFile.Info) {
              BoxFile.Info fileInto = (BoxFile.Info) item;
              System.out.println(item.getName());

              BoxFile boxFile = new BoxFile(userApi, fileInto.getID());
              System.out.println(boxFile.getInfo().getSize());
              System.out.println(boxFile.getInfo().getModifiedAt());
          }
      }

Yes, it works now. Thanks, you saved me. 🙂 I just hope the extra line does not do another call to the Box API server, which could create a performance issue if a folder contains too many files.
