I think that it is important to mention that the only thing that you can
do with the file on an Android device (as far as I know) is to open it
with the GnuCash for Android app.  Then if you still want to keep your
desktop file current you need to follow the procedures outlined there to
achieve that. 

The last time I tried that I found that I needed to wait for that
program to mature more before I would use it regularly.  Maybe it is
there now, I haven't checked recently.
