Answer 1

Here is the Solution for the above question which is asked by me itself.

String file_name = "/my_file.txt";
    String file_path = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()
            .getAbsolutePath() + file_name;
AndroidAuthSession session;

    public void initDropBox() {

        AppKeyPair appKeys = new AppKeyPair(APP_KEY, APP_SECRET);
        session = new AndroidAuthSession(appKeys);
        mDBApi = new DropboxAPI<AndroidAuthSession>(session);
        mDBApi.getSession().startOAuth2Authentication(ChatActivity.this);

    }

Entry response;

    public void uploadFile() {
        writeFileContent(file_path);
        File file = new File(file_path);
        FileInputStream inputStream = null;
        try {
            inputStream = new FileInputStream(file);
        } catch (FileNotFoundException e1) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e1.printStackTrace();
        }


        try {
            response = mDBApi.putFile("/my_file.txt", inputStream,
                    file.length(), null, null);
            Log.i("DbExampleLog", "The uploaded file's rev is: " + response.rev);
        } catch (DropboxException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();

        }

    }
    public void downloadFile() {

        File file = new File(file_path);
        FileOutputStream outputStream = null;

        try {
            outputStream = new FileOutputStream(file);
        } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        DropboxFileInfo info = null;
        try {
            info = mDBApi.getFile("/my_file.txt", null, outputStream, null);



            Log.i("DbExampleLog", "The file's rev is: "
                    + info.getMetadata().rev);
        } catch (DropboxException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block

            e.printStackTrace();
        }

    }

@Override
    protected void onResume() {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        super.onResume();
        if (mDBApi.getSession().authenticationSuccessful()) {
            try {
                // Required to complete auth, sets the access token on the
                // session

                mDBApi.getSession().finishAuthentication();

                String accessToken = mDBApi.getSession().getOAuth2AccessToken();

                /**
                 * You'll need this token again after your app closes, so it's

                 */

            } catch (IllegalStateException e) {
                Log.i("DbAuthLog", "Error authenticating", e);
            }
        }
    }

->Call uploadFile() and downLoadFile() method in child thread otherwise it will give you exception ->For that use AsyncTask and call these above method in doInBackground method.

hope,this will helpful to many people.Thanks
