I created my BTC Electrum wallet in the android app, however I do not remember having created the private key only to seed so that now I can not send the BTCs that are on it, when I open the wallet on a computer the following sentence appears:

Information

This wallet is watching-only. This means you will not be able to spend Bitcoins with it. Make sure you own the seed phrase or the private keys, before you request Bitcoins to be sent to this wallet.

OK.

What to do in such a situation?

I created my BTC Electrum wallet in the android app, however I do not remember having created the private key only to seed so that now I can not send the BTCs that are on it, when I open the wallet on a computer the following sentence appears:
So you have the seed words? If so, you need to use that to "restore" your wallet on the PC.

On PC: "File -> New/Restore -> Standard Wallet -> I already have a seed"... then enter your Seed words from Android App... it should then recreate a wallet identical to the one on your Android device. If you have a watching only wallet, it sounds like you only imported using the addresses or the "Master Public Key". This means you don't have the private keys stored on the computer, so you can't sign transactions as required to be able to spend coins.

If you don't have the seed, you should be able to see it on your Android device by tapping the wallet name/balance at the top of the screen (it will show "Master Public Key"), tap the "show seed" button and enter your PIN.

Your seed is used to create your private key, so you should be fine importing that somewhere else.

Many thanks Mr. HCP, your contribution was by far the best help I have ever had this year, I was lost, as I am a beginner, I created the wallet but could not send via the app, thank you, leave some of your wallets so I can contribute for the help.
