In my app, I want to verify that the account number is valid. One of the criterial used in my app is to verify the number of characters.

TS L. The `account_id` value on the Dropbox API is always 40 characters long. 

You can that documented in `FullAccount.account_id`, for instance, as returned by /2/users/get_current_account:

account_id String(min_length=40, max_length=40)

    I used 

    mDbxClient.users().getCurrentAccount().getAccountId()

     will that get the value `account_id`?
