Android Bitcoin Wallet, zero balance after keys import

0

I imported all my private keys (including those of change addresses) to Andreas Schildbach's Bitcoin Wallet from bitcoin-qt and my balance is still zero. This disagrees with Blockchain, which clearly shows non-zero final balance. What is the reason and how can I fix it?

Can you explain in more detail what you did to import the keys? Do the corresponding addresses appear in the Android wallet's address book?Nate Eldredge 2014-02-20T07:09:40.747

listaddressgroupings -> dumpprivkey for every address that has non-zero balanceMichał B. 2014-02-20T11:29:53.903

Ok, that's how you exported them from bitcoin-qt, and sounds correct. How did you import them on the other side?Nate Eldredge 2014-02-20T14:26:58.000

I looked up how .key files are constructed and just pasted respective private keys. It was imported successfully into Android wallet. Maybe there is a more straightforward way? Tried pywallet -> multibit, but pywallet only outputs encrypted keys...Michał B. 2014-02-20T15:54:07.817

So to confirm, the imported addresses do show up in the "Your addresses" tab of the address book? Have you tried the "Reset blockchain" option in the Settings menu?Nate Eldredge 2014-02-20T16:25:07.623

Yes. I reset it a few times. Addresses that show up match output of listaddressgroupings.Michał B. 2014-02-20T16:40:33.030

Are you actually in sync with the block chain? Under "Network Monitor" in the Blocks tab, do you have recent blocks (286904 is current right now)?Nate Eldredge 2014-02-20T16:44:26.683

Affirmative. Last block received is 286907Michał B. 2014-02-20T17:17:39.067

Strange. Then I'm afraid I'm out of ideas. It may be time for a bug report to Schildbach and the Android Bitcoin Wallet maintainers.Nate Eldredge 2014-02-20T18:03:47.643

Probably you didn't set the wallets birthdate correctly. In any case usage like this is strictly discouraged.
