Dropbox Android SDK download File
Hello! I use Android SDK to create/upload/download file. I've found your example on github. It works okay. But I have a question about downloading of file. When I download file (not chane anything...

Can you clarify what 'result' is and where that's coming from? I don't see it getting set in the rest of your code.
Also, note that 'lastModified' isn't a method for getting file metadata from the Dropbox API. Perhaps you're referring to the downloaded local file? You may instead be looking for 'metadata.getClientModified' or 'metadata.getServerModified'.

Downloading a file shouldn't change the modified time. I just tried this and I can't reproduce that behavior.
Also, note that the API returns file metadata including fields named 'client_modified' and 'server_modified', not 'modified_date'. You can access them via 'getClientModified' and 'getServerModified' in the Dropbox Java SDK, respectively.
Can you share the version number of the Dropbox SDK you're using, and the full code to reproduce this? Thanks in advance!

I use
com.dropbox.core:dropbox-core-sdk:3.0.11
This is my code from DownlodingAsyncTask
FileMetadata metadata = (FileMetadata) mDbxClient.files().getMetadata("SOME_NAME");
File path = Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(
Environment.DIRECTORY_DOWNLOADS);
File file = new File(path, metadata.getName());
// Download the file.
try (OutputStream outputStream = new FileOutputStream(file)) {
mDbxClient.files().download(metadata.getPathLower(), metadata.getRev())
.download(outputStream);
}
....
And when in Activity
result.lastModified() is NOW
Where am I wrong? Thank you in advance.

Hello, Greg!
Thank you a lot. My mistake was that I didn't set time from metadata.getClientModified/metadata.getServerModified as you had said.
Thank you and have a nice day!
