How to set access user access token pair manually.

     AppKeyPair appKeys = new AppKeyPair(APP_KEY, APP_SECRET);
     AndroidAuthSession session = new AndroidAuthSession(appKeys, ACCESS_TYPE);
     if (mDBApi == null) {
        mDBApi = new DropboxAPI<AndroidAuthSession>(session);

//  mDBApi.getSession().startAuthentication(Main.this);  //kicks off the web-based authentication
      //you'll have to use the web-based authentication UI one-time to get the ######### values
        String token_key="#########";  
        String token_seceret="#########";
        AccessTokenPair tokens=new AccessTokenPair(token_key,token_seceret);
        mDBApi.getSession().setAccessTokenPair(tokens);     
  //  boolean v=mDBApi.getSession().authenticationSuccessful(); 
    }

First time i run application in debug mode with break point i get the token key and token secret of by entering valid log in detail.and saved(noted) that credential and after that i set them manually as above code then can be log in successfully.

Please download the project from the below link name as DBRoulette

https://www.dropbox.com/developers/core

And create an app in https://www.dropbox.com/developers and get the api key and secret and add this both in DBRoulette.java and in AndroidManifest.xml ...it works..

In onCreate() write

AppKeyPair pair = new AppKeyPair(ACCESS_KEY, ACCESS_SECRET);
    session = new AndroidAuthSession(pair, AccessType.APP_FOLDER);
    dropbox = new DropboxAPI<AndroidAuthSession>(session);

    SharedPreferences prefs = getSharedPreferences(DROPBOX_NAME, 0);
    String key = prefs.getString(ACCESS_KEY, null);
    String secret = prefs.getString(ACCESS_SECRET, null);
    if (key != null && secret != null) {
        Log.d("key secret", key + "    " + secret);
        AccessTokenPair token = new AccessTokenPair(key, secret);
        dropbox.getSession().setAccessTokenPair(token);
    }
    if (key == null && secret == null)
            dropbox.getSession().startAuthentication(DropboxActivity.this);

And in onResume() write

if (dropbox.getSession().isLinked()) {
        try {
            loggedIn(true);
            doAction();
        } catch (IllegalStateException e) {
            Toast.makeText(this, "Error during Dropbox authentication",
            Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        }

        } else if (dropbox.getSession().authenticationSuccessful()) {
            try {
                session.finishAuthentication();
                TokenPair tokens = session.getAccessTokenPair();
                SharedPreferences prefs = getSharedPreferences(DROPBOX_NAME, 0);
                Editor editor = prefs.edit();
                editor.putString(ACCESS_KEY, tokens.key);
                editor.putString(ACCESS_SECRET, tokens.secret);
                editor.commit();

                loggedIn(true);
                doAction();

            } catch (IllegalStateException e) {
                Toast.makeText(this, "Error during Dropbox authentication",
                        Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            }

        }

It worked fine for me
