Description

I tried using this library but nothing works like the documentation suggests
https://doc.owncloud.com/server/next/developer_manual/mobile_development/android_library/examples.html
I can't create a OwnCloudClient instance when following the instructions in the docs.
The OwnCloudClientFactory does not exist anymore, and the OwnCloudClient constructor needs all kinds of
arguments which are hard to create.

Also I don't see any option to interact with shared Folders of which you only know the link

Research direction

Start with the linked Android library examples page and compare its OwnCloudClientFactory and OwnCloudClient instructions with the current library API. Check whether shared folders available only by link are supported, then update the examples and document the current behavior and setup requirements.
