I am using Dropbox JAVA SDK version 1.8.1 for my application. Recently, I have encountered the following error when downloading files using the upload API:
Bad JSON in the X-Dropbox-Metadata header: 1.96: \ "photo_info \": waiting for the end of the object (\ "} \") " . I did not request information about media and did not add includeMediaInfo to true. Here is the code snippet:
DbxClient.Downloader downloader = client.startGetFile(folderPath+"/"+filename,"");
InputStream in = downloader.body;
OutputStream outs = response.getOutputStream();
byte buf[] = new byte[10000000];
int len;
while ((len = in.read(buf, 0, 10000000)) != -1) {
outs.write(buf, 0, len);
}
outs.close();
outs.flush();
in.close();
downloader.close();
Here is the stack trace:

A similar kind of exception is also found in searchAPI. The same piece of code worked fine in the previous version 1.7.7, and I was able to upload the files.
Please help me sort this out. Thanks in advance!
