Downloading/getting file metadata of files that are located in a team folder

I'm using Java Dropbox v2 SDK version 3.1.0(latest) and I think it is either missing very basic functionality or I'm missing something.

I've got files located in a team folder(shared folder). I'm trying to get those files metadata/download them using file id/path and I encounter an error of path_not_found. From my research regarding this issue I've realized that I have to add a special header called "Dropbox-API-Path-Root" with the relevant namespace id to retrieve metadata/download files from that folder. So I want to know if there is any way to add this header to download/get_metadata requests using the Java SDK(I couldn't find how to do it)? Or the only way to do it is by implementing REST client by myself?

Thanks

Based on your question, it looks like you've already read it, but the Namespace Guide is a worthwhile resource on this topic.

There's a method in the Java SDK that can help with this called withPathRoot.
