Revoke access token
Hi,
I am trying to revoke the token when we trying to logoff the dropbox from my android app.
it always showing some error.
eg:
https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/auth/token/revoke
and set the header as "Authorization: Bearer <access token>"
it would be fine, if you provide the correct url and how to use it android.

You don't need to use DbxRawClientV2. You can use tokenRevoke on DbxClientV2 like this:
DbxClientV2 client = new DbxClientV2(config, ACCESS_TOKEN); // note: be sure to add error handling client.auth().tokenRevoke();
And if you're using the SDK, you don't need to construct the authorization URL yourself. There's an Android example here that shows how to process the flow in the SDK:

Specifically, you start the flow using startOAuth2Authentication:
And finish it in onResume:

What error are you getting?
There's an example of calling that endpoint via curl here in the documentation:
https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#auth-token-revoke
By the way, if you're building an Android app, we recommend using the official Java SDK:
https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/java
In the Java SDK, you would use the tokenRevoke method to revoke a token:
https://dropbox.github.io/dropbox-sdk-java/api-docs/v2.1.x/com/dropbox/core/v2/auth/DbxUserAuthRequests.html#tokenRevoke--Thanks Greg.
I used 'DbxClientV2' for getting files and folder list.
Never used the 'DbxRawClientV2' in my application and it seems DbxUserAuthRequests expecting 'DbxRawClientV2' object as parameter.For authentication, i used android native webview control and used the following url.
For eg: https://www.dropbox.com/oauth2/authorize/?client_id=<clientID>&response_type=code&redirect_uri=<redirectURL>And it gives the Accestoken and then set it to the 'DbxClientV2' for listing files.
How can i use the 'DbxUserAuthRequests', please help.
