Catching invalid access token exceptions

In the Android Core API v2 SDK, when a Dropbox access token becomes invalid, I want to catch that exception and null out my copy of the access token so the linking authorization will be done again.  ...

Maybe it is the way I faked the invalid token.  Instead of passing a real, but invalidated token, I passed

   "Z" + validToken

to the "new DbxClientV2(requestConfig, DBaccessToken);" API call.  So it has one more letter than the real token.  And the message with that exception is "OAuth2 token is mal-formed".  I'll bet that's it.
