Fatal error on running finishFromCode in Java 3.0.6

- You're getting a `NetworkOnMainThreadException`, which means you're trying to make a network call on the main thread, which isn't allowed on Android. (The `finishFromCode` method makes a network call to the Dropbox API servers to exchange the authorization code for an access token.)
You would need to make this call on a background thread instead. There are various examples about how to do this on StackOverflow, e.g.:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6343166/android-os-networkonmainthreadexception
Note that for Android though, the Dropbox Java SDK provides a different app authorization flow anyway, which doesn't use finishFromCode. There's an example Android app here:
https://github.com/dropbox/dropbox-sdk-java/tree/master/examples/android
Your AndroidManifest.xml should be set up as shown here:
https://github.com/dropbox/dropbox-sdk-java/blob/master/examples/android/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml#L33
You start the flow by calling startOAuth2Authentication as shown here:
https://github.com/dropbox/dropbox-sdk-java/blob/master/examples/android/src/main/java/com/dropbox/core/examples/android/UserActivity.java#L36
You complete the flow by calling getOAuth2Token as shown here:
https://github.com/dropbox/dropbox-sdk-java/blob/master/examples/android/src/main/java/com/dropbox/core/examples/android/DropboxActivity.java#L22
Your app can store and re-use the resulting access token for that user, as the example does here:
https://github.com/dropbox/dropbox-sdk-java/blob/master/examples/android/src/main/java/com/dropbox/core/examples/android/DropboxActivity.java#L24

Thank you, it helps.
The wierd thing is the project was cloned from Windows Android Studio , where the code works without any issues to Macbook one where the issue immediately happened.
