I went back to scraps of paper. On the new phone the version I have seems to be able to export again. It's 2.2.0 However, it won't connect to my nextcloud server, so I have to do some odd things to get the data to my computer. Paper remains easier.

Re: Does anyone successfully use GNU Android App. If not get it off the main web site.
John, you do not necessarily have to use the GnuCash for Android app to achieve what you want. You can use practically any app that will export transactions into a .qif file. For example, I'm using Money Manager Ex for Android (to which I also contribute in development, just like with GnuCash for Android) but anything that creates a valid .qif file will work. You could try another app untill the issues you mention are resolved. Make sure that you submit a bug report with a reproducible case, though. You can also check the exported .qif file with a text editor and see if the values are really there. -- Sent from: http://gnucash.1415818.n4.nabble.com/GnuCash-User-f1415819.html ___ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. - Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.

Re: Does anyone successfully use GNU Android App. If not get it off the main web site.
I find the android app useful, exporting transactions by qif file and then bringing them into my desktop app. It is very limited, as you say. Really needs to implement proper access to the ".gnucash" files so that we can keep the two in sync easily. Pretty sure that app is also open source on github, so the best way to get it improved is to help out, or donate/set bounties. Having said all that, it would be ideal to have an "official" mobile version of GNUcash with as close as possible to full functionality. Hopefully using a large part of the desktop code (translated to Java for android though) Coding party, anyone?

Re: Does anyone successfully use GNU Android App. If not get it off the main web site.
Hello john_mike, i use gnucash android app. It is very helpful for me. I use it to enter the expenses immediately (on-the-fly) and transfer it one time per month into desktop version (as QIF export). I had problems with it a month ago: there was a bug in android app bevor version 2.3.0 with double minus sign. But now everything works fine.

Re: Does anyone successfully use GNU Android App. If not get it off the main web site.
Have you sent a comment to https://plus.google.com/communities/104728406764752407046?? While i do not use the app myself, I believe that it is actively developed and should not be mis-behaving like you describe. I see there that there is currently a buggy beta release floating around. Perhaps you got that by mistake.

Does anyone successfully use GNU Android App. If not get it off the main web site.
Dear All, I gave up trying to import the QIF file generated by the Android App. I exported from Android as XML then opened that file in GNU Cash. This had the dates of the transactions the narrative (well some of it) and the relevant accounts and about 30% of the values. I have nearly gone blind going through each transaction on my phone and entering the amount in the GNU Cash file. Now I need to work out how to import these completed transactions into my main file. I think I am done with the Android App. Every time I try to use it in messes up. It is therefore a huge waste of time. One of the reasons I started with GNU was the option of having the Android companion. Clearly it doesn't work. Clearly it was never intended to be a 'clone' of the main GNU Cash Application. Might I suggest that it is removed from the GNU Cash web site. It is detrimental to GNU Cash which by and large works. The Android App is just a huge waste of time. I wondered if there is any intention to create an App that works. All I wish to do is record stuff on the phone and load it to the PC. Is this possible / achievable. What I don't want is to spend time recording stuff on my phone and then spend 3-4 days transferring it across as that is completely pointless and very frustrating. It would be much better to remove the current offering from the system as it is setting a false user expectation. Which it turn leads to mistrust of GNU Cash. -- Sent from: http://gnucash.1415818.n4.nabble.com/GnuCash-User-f1415819.html ___ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. - Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
