- Download the zip from: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/core/sdks/android
- Unzip it
- Add the jars from the lib folder to app/libs in your project
- Right click on them and choose "Add as Library..."

Greg K first of all thanks for your answer, i have done that and when i go to the .class files of the dropbox-android-sdk-1.6.3 it says "Sources not found". I am able to link the app with the dropbox but in no way possible to download a file. What's the problem?
Should i add all of the following jars, dropbox-android-sdk-1.6.3 ,json_simple-1.1 and including those from extra and test folders? Thanks in advance.

For the sources, next to "Sources not found", click "Attach Sources" and select the .zip from the Android Core SDK download page.
Regarding downloading a file, can you elaborate on the issue you're having? Once you have the SDK added, it should just be the same as shown in the tutorial.
Also, I believe only dropbox-android-sdk-1.6.3 and json_simple-1.1 are necessarily required.

For future reference, the developers page now has detailed documentation on how to use the Core API in Android Studio. See this link for more details: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/core/sdks/android
