Thanks for those references. I also found that by using 'File Manager" I found that Gnucash Android has created /storage/emulated/0/org.gnucash.android/backups and .../exports to keep those in resp. so now I can find those. I do not see a way to keep multiple data files, which would be nice for testing some features as well as general use.
I also noticed in the read me in one place it states that it can import gnucash desktop accounts and transactions but I have not found a way to import transactions from xml or the qif import that was referenced somewhere. Those features must be coming soon.
