Announcing GnuCash Android v1.4.0-beta1

[Ngewi Fet]

Ok, thanks for trying it and letting me know. I'm working to make those error messages a bit more descriptive. 

I'll let you know when the next beta is released so you can try again. 

Regards,
Ngewi

P.S. If you are willing you could try putting the file on the SD card so I can exclude the external service as the problem. Sometimes (not often), when import fails almost immediately, the app providing the file could be an issue. (downloading issues, Caching,  etc)

I've saved my normal GnuCash file as uncompressed by removing the "Compress Files" check under the General Preferences and saving it as xxx.gnucash.  I've then used Dropbox to upload and download it to a number of Android devices running different versions of android.  Then I've used the app and selected Import GnuCash Accounts and the Dropbox option, selected the uncompressed file and it's pretty much straight away displayed the "an error occurred importing..." error message :-(
