public static String DropboxDownloadPathFrom = "BacMath/tst.txt";
public static String DropboxDownloadPathTo = path+"dd";
// public static String dropboxdirpath="/storage/emulated/0/DropboxItems/";
public static File Dir=new File(path);
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.aa);
AndroidAuthSession session = buildSession();
dropboxAPI = new DropboxAPI<AndroidAuthSession>(session);
Dir.mkdir();
Button b=(Button) findViewById(R.id.az);

}
});

I'll be happy to help with any issues you're having with the Dropbox API, but I'll need some more information. Please reply with:
- the name and version of the platform and SDK/library you are using
- the full text of the error or any unexpected output
- the steps to reproduce the issue, including relevant code snippet(s). You didn't include the definition of DownloadFromDropboxFromPath, for example, which would be helpful.
Looking at the code you included though, it looks you're using the old Android SDK, which uses API v1, which is now retired.
You should instead using the latest version of the Dropbox API v2 Java SDK:

There's an example Android app here:
