Reading file from Dropbox to Android

Question

I am using Android Studio and Dropbox Sync API to read files from Dropbox. I am struggling to implement the instructions at the official Dropbox site for SYNC API.

Can someone show me the steps and the java code which reads a simple .txt file from Dropbox which has the text Hello World!.

Thanks in advance.

This is complete tutorial here you posted. Have you imported libraries and installed SDK properly? — Dejan
Yes i did. I am sure about it. But i still have error when i put DbxFileSystem dbxFs = DbxFileSystem.forAccount(mDbxAcctMgr.getLinkedAccount()); it says unhandled exception. Unauthorized. — kanun

You must catch all the missing catches, eg

catch(DbxException.Unauthorized unauthorized) { }
catch (DbxPath.InvalidPathException e) { }
catch (DbxException e) {     }
catch (IOException e) {     }

Then you can compile this section :-)
