I am still near the beginning of my learning curve even for basic Android usage, so I will be making a lot of mistakes. P <mailto:gnucash-devel@gnucash.org>lease bear with me. I was able to open a copy of my regular desktop XML file with the Android Play store release of Gnucash for Android before installing the pre-beta. It looks like all the accounts are there, but so far I have not imported any transactions. I found the tool to convert a regular transaction into a scheduled transaction, but I have not tried it yet. If transactions were supposed to come along with the accounts, they did not. I will try to make a small test file to see if size is a factor. I do want to import some transactions because I want some examples of multi-line transaction splits in my Android data. A lot of normally trivial actions are not working for me right now, like keystrokes are not going into this e-mail correctly. Right now I am incredibly frustrated with many completely unrelated things.
