Why do you want to bypass the login prompt? Do you mean after the user has already authorized the app once you don't want to prompt them to do so again? In that case, you should store and re-use the access token as discussed in the tutorial:

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

Here's the constructor for making a session using a supplied access token:

https://www.dropbox.com/static/developers/dropbox-android-sdk-1.6.3-docs/com/dropbox/client2/android/AndroidAuthSession.html#AndroidAuthSession(com.dropbox.client2.session.AppKeyPair,%20java.lang.String)

Or, do you mean you always want to bypass the prompt and only use your own account? That's not recommended because of various technical and security issues, but it is possible. (Similarly, you would use the above constructor with your own access token.)
