Hello folks, i cannot import my exported account structure into the app. version is 1.2.2. In the Desktop programm i selected "file|export|exoprt accounts",which lead to a file with extension .gnucash. Is that the file format required by the app? The app itself seems not to be able to import any files. When i select "import gnucash accounts" all i can see allmost empty folders. only very few files are shown up and my $accountstructure.gnucash is one of them. Kind regards |

When the dialog appears, which application do you select? I've tested SkyDrive, DropBox, Google Drive and OpenIntents FileManager The interactions inside the application is independent of GnuCash Android.

The owner is system (UID I can even open it with a text editor. Since there are quiet a few accounts in There are lots of other files in many of my other local directories and none of My only idea at the moment is to reinstall the gnucash app. Any other Regards Am Donnerstag, 4.

Ok, I don't know how it works on Cyanogenmod, but there should be a dialog. It is definitely not because the file is too large. GnuCash does no create Can you make some screenshots and email them to me?

GitHub does not support attachments from email (I think). Can you send the screenshots to me via email at ngewif@codinguser.com |
I can confirm that account import doesn't work with the native CyanogenMod file browser (as of CyanogenMod version 10.1.2). When the import dialog opens the file browser, it doesn't display anything but directories (i.e., no .xml files). Import works fine with the OpenIntents FileManager ( https://f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdfilter=oi%20file&fdid=org.openintents.filemanager ). I think it would be helpful to make note of this somewhere in the documentation. |
Thanks for that piece of info. It depends on the file browser app being On 11.08.2013, at 05:58, ddpppntg notifications@github.com wrote: I can confirm that account import doesn't work with the native CyanogenMod I think it would be helpful to make note of this somewhere in the — |
same problem here on an Nexus4 with newest Android and fresh installed GnuCash. Export happened on the Ubuntu binary and the XML file looks fine in vim. I coud deliver some logs if they exist and somebody points me to a way to look into them on Android. It just says that there was an error importing the accounts file but it doesn't give me any more infos in the App itself. |
Hi @erikb85 , I think your problem is different from the one being discussed in this thread. Your issue is with the import functionality while this thread discusses being able to select the file to import in the first place. |
Could you please test it with generated start accounting sets from the Desktop GUI? That's basically what I am using and I think the only additional data is my own account data which I would not like to share. If the starting sets of accounts don't result in import errors then it might be because I sometimes use German characters like |
I did not mean you should send me your data file, only the account structure which you will get by "File-> Export -> Export Accounts" in the desktop GnuCash. I hope that this is the file you have been trying to import, because it is the only one the Android app accepts. This exported account file does not include any transactions. I have indeed tested it with the starting set of commonly-used accounts (also for German locale) from desktop GnuCash. In fact the current version in beta has those files within the app itself. But I will still test it with the whole set of all accounts. |
I just installed on a Moto X. Everything seems to be working fine, including export, except the import. I exported an accounts file from my Windows XP desktop GnuCash. Trying to import on the phone from either Google Drive or Downloads, the file shows up and is highlighted when I touch it, but nothing happens. |
This issue should be fixed in version 1.3.0 which is currently in beta
|
Thanks. I installed the current version on a NOOK last night and it imported fine. Haven't tried our Samsung phone yet. Will put the beta on the Moto X, maybe. |

Just wanted to say thank you for this nice app. About 8 months ago I had problems importing my account structure and we had a small discussion. sadly i was a little defocused at that time so i missed the info to use the OpenIntent Filemanager instead of the CM default. Today i installed OI, launched my gnucash-android, succesfully inported my accounts and am now very happy. So happy, that i would love to make a little donation. How would i do that? |
Thank you @lorenzo-greifswald I am glad it works for you! In the meantime, I'm just happy if you keep using the app and providing your feedback! |
While the double-entry feature is really usefull, it need you to have created every account you want to use, previously to use it.
If the software is an add-on for desktop gnucash, I think it would be great if you could import the whole account schema (without transactions) from the desktop version, so you'll have ready every account you have to use.
thanks
