I transferred that subkey over ssh to my mobile device. My eventual goal is to move to a Yubikey type device to managing my mobile subkey.\r\n\r\nProposed recommendation to new users:\r\n\r\n- Export your private key to a fille.\r\n Mailvelope: Export all keys -> keys.asc \r\n gpg: gpg --export-secret-key ####### --armor > keys.asc\r\n\r\n- Connect your android device via USB\r\n Transfers keys.asc to Android device\r\n\r\n- Install a file navigator. \r\nPerhaps using https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.openintents.filemanager&hl=en\r\n\r\n- Import key into OpenKeychain\r\n"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/open-keychain/open-keychain/issues/comments/84022576","html_url":"https://github.com/open-keychain/open-keychain/issues/975#issuecomment-84022576","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/open-keychain/open-keychain/issues/975","id":84022576,"user":{"login":"mjlong2014","id":11565964,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/11565964?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/mjlong2014","html_url":"https://github.com/mjlong2014","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/mjlong2014/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/mjlong2014/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/mjlong2014/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/mjlong2014/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/mjlong2014/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/mjlong2014/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/mjlong2014/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/mjlong2014/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/mjlong2014/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-03-20T14:02:10Z","updated_at":"2015-03-20T14:02:10Z","body":"I figured it out.
