Dropbox Syncing Issue with android application

I follow the steps provided at https://www.dropbox.com/developers/datastore/tutorial/android for the synchronization of my android application with Dropbox. On pressing the Linktodropbox Button it the app navigates me to sign in page of dropbox. when i enter my credentials it gives me an error

ERROR: "This app cannot be used with the Sync Api"

I changed the App_key and App_password with my app's key and app's passwords provided to me by dropbox. Can anybody me in this regard. thanks in anticipation

To resolve this error you must to do the right choice. Go https://www.dropbox.com/developers/apps/create. When you register your dropbox application at the step 4 ("What type of files does your app need access to?") select the "Specific file types" and your issue resolves. For more questions to create apps Android studio based write me. Thanks.

This most likely means you're trying to use an app with Full Dropbox permission. The Sync API only supports App folder and File type permissions.
