Auth.getOAuth2Token() returns null

See original GitHub issue

I am using dropbox-sdk-java v2 for android. If I try to authenticate the flow from browser, I always get NULL. Issues related to this kind of question are #71 and #161 and they are already closed but none helpful. My manifest looks like: android:name="com.dropbox.core.android.AuthActivity" android:configChanges="orientation|keyboard" android:screenOrientation="portrait" android:launchMode="singleTask" <intent-filter> <data android:scheme="db-XXXXXXXXXXXXX"/> <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" /> <category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" /> <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" /> </intent-filter>
