How to stop folder access prompt appearing every time?

How to stop folder access prompt appearing every time?

Is it possible to configure or code my Android app so that the below prompt doesn't appear every single time I restart my app?

 

enter image description here

 

I only have the one API call below and yet I see the above prompt every single time I start my app.

 

Auth.startOAuth2Authentication( gContext, APP_KEY );

 

Surely there must be a way to code or configure an app so that this doesn't appear every single time?

I've solved this problem myself. I don't need to call the below line every startup:

Auth.startOAuth2Authentication( gContext, APP_KEY );

Once I get an access token, I can store that for subsequent program restarts and create a DbxClientV2 by using that saved token.

DbxRequestConfig config = new DbxRequestConfig( "dropbox/sample-app" );
DbxClientV2 client = new DbxClientV2( config, savedToken );

No more auth screen, yay!
