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.

I use
com.dropbox.core:dropbox-core-sdk:3.0.11This 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!
