Hi Volker,
Thanks for the reply.
I should have mentioned that I already had both public and private keys in
the same folder on the Android device.
The keys have the same prefix only difference is that .pub is added for public
key. Eg: id_rsa and id_rsa.pub.
I had read about needing the public key in the folder when I checked the
method.
The perms on both files are rw-rw-r-- when I upload the keys. And without
a rooted phone I have no way to change
those permissions. Could this be a factor?
If so, I guess I could read the file into a String and call one of the
alternate methods although I'd really prefer
to just use the simpler method. Any way to get that working?
