Is there a guide for importing my Android Wallet to a desktop app?

[MCHouston]

Hello,

The subject pretty much says it.  I am looking for a guide to export the private keys so they can be imported into Multibit, Armory, etc.

Thanks.

You cannot export individual private keys. In future, you'll be able to export the seed all the keys are generated from, in the form of the 12 words. However afaik neither Multibit nor Armory can import BIP32 HD wallets.

If you want to move value, I suggest using a Bitcoin transaction.

Thanks for the info, it was more to move a wallet that a lot of automated deposits go to, currently on Android Wallet.

Will signing a transaction be available with Android Wallet?

Signing a transaction is part of "using a Bitcoin transaction". Are you maybe asking for an offline mode where you would only sign a transaction with the phone you created (and later broadcast) elsewhere?

It is possible to extract your mnemonic (seed) from an Android Wallet backup file, and then use it to create a MultiBit HD wallet (via its restore option) which has the same addresses/private keys. However....

• messing around with your mnemonic can be dangerous (from a loss-of-funds/malware point of view)
• MultiBit HD is still in Beta and not yet recommended for everyday use
• it requires the latest version of MultiBit HD (Beta 8, it won't work with earlier versions)

If you still want to proceed, see here for more info on extracting your mnemonic: https://github.com/gurnec/decrypt_bitcoinj_seed
