There are a few ways of doing this.
The safest:
1. Install wallet software if you haven't already, I recommend electrum (http://HTTPS://www.electrum.org/#download).
2. Click Wallet>show addresses, right click the address and show its qr code and scan this on your phone to send the funds.

Alternatively:
1. Make a backup and put it on your computer.
2. Look at the how to guides in the Android bitcoin wallet section.
3. You can then sweep these coins into electrum and use them. You can import them.as well but I wouldn't recommend these.

If you want to be serious about your bitcoins, you shouldn't be storing bitcoin on a windows machine. Download an user friendly Linux distro like Ubuntu and store your coins there. Also do not import any private keys. To move between wallets, simply make a transaction to your new wallet and that's all.

You can either send the funds from your phone to a completely new wallet on your computer and pay the fees or you could find the location where the wallet.dat is stored on the phone and copy it over using what ever method you want.

You could also export the private keys from your phone and import them into the new wallet on your desktop, depending on the security of your phone.

You can do this in a few way.
The most popular way is to install wallet software if you haven't already, I recommend electrum.
Then you will click Wallet>show addresses, right click the address and show its qr code and scan this on your phone to send the funds.

Another way is to make a backup and put it on your computer and you will look at the how to guides in the Android bitcoin wallet section.Then you can sweep these coins into electrum and use them.You can import them.as well but I wouldn't recommend these.

Man, you are making things messed up with your account. Copy pasting is against forum rules.You might not copy the whole thing and rephrase some of the words but still a copy pasting procedure. This would really result on perma-ban.

Talking about the topic this thing isn't really complicated at all since you can easily install electrum,bitcoin core and other desktop wallets and send those funds on that wallet came from your mobile phone bitcoin wallet as simple as that.

Wow! That's perfectly almost identical. (Excluding an "s" and the link).

And yes, using automatic software ("bots") to post on threads is against the rules. Along with the plagairism grey area.

You have to sweep them otherwise coins get lost as there is no "max" function.
