Thanks for the feedback, Kiko. I can't promise if/when we might write an example like that, but I'm sending it along to the team.

For reference, instructions for running the Android sample can be found here:

https://github.com/dropbox/dropbox-sdk-java/tree/master/examples/android

The app authorization flow specifically is triggered here:

https://github.com/dropbox/dropbox-sdk-java/blob/master/examples/android/src/main/java/com/dropbox/core/examples/android/UserActivity.java

The token storage is here:

https://github.com/dropbox/dropbox-sdk-java/blob/master/examples/android/src/main/java/com/dropbox/core/examples/android/DropboxActivity.java

And the example of downloading a file is here:
