Description

With other cloud vendors I am able with their APIs to get an InputStream when I make a request to download a file.
How do I do with this SDK?
I do not understand why you do not want to implement this method:
https://github.com/box/box-android-sdk/issues/53
My application supports multiple clouds. I can upload to Box from dropbox, googledrive or onedrive because sdks provide me an InputStream ... but I can not do the reverse ... except going through a pipedInputStream ... it's annoying!

Thanks a lot.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the SDK's download API and the linked box/box-android-sdk issue #53, since no implementation file or test is identified here. Determine the intended InputStream behavior and document the acceptance criteria for supporting downloads through a stream.
