Read file contents

Question

I'm sure this is answered somewhere else, but clearly I'm not Googling the right thing. I'm working on an android app (java) and I'm trying to read the contents of a file without downloading it (needs to read every time the app opens). I was able to find plenty of examples for API v1, but nothing for v2. I have the basics, but that's about it:

DbxRequestConfig config = DbxRequestConfig.newBuilder("dropbox/my_folder").build();
DbxClientV2 client = new DbxClientV2(config, context.getResources().getString(R.string.access_token));

To access the file content for a file using the API v2 Java SDK, you should use the download method. That gives you a DbxDownloader which offers a few options for using the file data; downloading it to a local file isn't required.

You can find an example Android app for the API v2 Java SDK here. For instance, it uses the download method here.
