Dropbox api for android returning null for AccessTokenSecret

I am using following code to authenticate with dropbox

AppKeyPair appKeys = new AppKeyPair(Constants.DROPBOX_APPKEY, Constants.DROPBOX_APPSECRET);
        AndroidAuthSession session = new AndroidAuthSession(appKeys);
        mDBApi = new DropboxAPI<AndroidAuthSession>(session);
        mDBApi.getSession().startOAuth2Authentication(this);

Once done

i call 

 mDBApi.getSession().finishAuthentication();

Account dropboxAccount =  mDBApi.accountInfo();
            String name = dropboxAccount.displayName;
            AccessTokenPair pair = mDBApi.getSession().getAccessTokenPair();
            String accessToken = mDBApi.getSession().getOAuth2AccessToken();
            String accessTokenSecret = pair.secret;

However AccessTokenPair is null. How else am i suppose to get accessTokenSecret?

In the Dropbox Android Core SDK, the getAccessTokenPair method returns an OAuth 1 access token, if you have one, as an AccessTokenPair. The getOAuth2AccessToken returns an OAuth 2 access token, if you have one. Note that OAuth 2 access tokens are only one piece (i.e, basically just one string) while OAuth 1 access tokens have two pieces (key and secret).

Since you are using startOAuth2Authentication, you only have an OAuth 2 access token, and getAccessTokenPair won't return anything.
