Fatal error on running finishFromCode in Java 3.0.6
Trying to run method finishOAuth of DropboxConnector class (startOAuth has no problems when running.
public DropboxConnector() {
DbxAppInfo appInfo = new DbxAppInfo(DropboxHelper.APP_KEY, DropboxHelper.APP_SECRET);
this.config = new DbxRequestConfig("text-edit/0.1");
this.webAuth = new DbxWebAuth(config, appInfo);
}
public String startOAuth(){
DbxWebAuth.Request authRequest = DbxWebAuth.newRequestBuilder().build();
return webAuth.authorize(authRequest);
}
public String finishOAuth(String code) throws DbxException {
DbxAuthFinish authFinish = webAuth.finishFromCode(code);
return authFinish.getAccessToken();
}
getting Fatal Error on calling finishFromCode(code). Debug shows code is the same I get from dropbox auth page.
Here is the stack:

dropbox-core-sdk-3.0.6.jar is added to dependencies.
- You're getting a `NetworkOnMainThreadException`, which means you're trying to make a network call on the main thread, which isn't allowed on Android. (The `finishFromCode` method makes a network call to the Dropbox API servers to exchange the authorization code for an access token.)
You would need to make this call on a background thread instead. There are various examples about how to do this on StackOverflow, e.g.:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6343166/android-os-networkonmainthreadexception
Note that for Android though, the Dropbox Java SDK provides a different app authorization flow anyway, which doesn't use finishFromCode. There's an example Android app here:
https://github.com/dropbox/dropbox-sdk-java/tree/master/examples/android
Your AndroidManifest.xml should be set up as shown here:
https://github.com/dropbox/dropbox-sdk-java/blob/master/examples/android/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml#L33
You start the flow by calling startOAuth2Authentication as shown here:
https://github.com/dropbox/dropbox-sdk-java/blob/master/examples/android/src/main/java/com/dropbox/core/examples/android/UserActivity.java#L36
You complete the flow by calling getOAuth2Token as shown here:
https://github.com/dropbox/dropbox-sdk-java/blob/master/examples/android/src/main/java/com/dropbox/core/examples/android/DropboxActivity.java#L22
Your app can store and re-use the resulting access token for that user, as the example does here:
https://github.com/dropbox/dropbox-sdk-java/blob/master/examples/android/src/main/java/com/dropbox/core/examples/android/DropboxActivity.java#L24

The wierd thing is the project was cloned from Windows Android Studio , where the code works without any issues to Macbook one where the issue immediately happened.
