private String stringToken = "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";

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
ViewCompat.setOnApplyWindowInsetsListener(findViewById(R.id.main), (v, insets) - {

return insets;
});
}

public void buttonDelete(View view){
try {
GitHub gitHub = new GitHubBuilder().withOAuthToken(stringToken).build();
GHRepository ghRepository = gitHub.getRepository("programmerworld1990/CommitFileAndroidAppDemo");
GHContent ghContent = ghRepository.getFileContent("image_Github.jpg");
GHContentUpdateResponse ghContentUpdateResponse = ghContent.delete("Deleting File Demo");
textView.setText(ghContentUpdateResponse.toString());
} catch (IOException e) {
