How do I use the clients_secret json with connecting to Google Drive api Android

Question

I downloaded the clients_secret json from the API console. I have seen that I may need it from here: client_secret not available in client_secret.json

I am not sure how I should integrate it into my Android app, or what it's exactly for.

For one of my apps, I have gotten a 403 Forbidden error, when I followed an example.

Insight would be helpful with explanation.
