This is important to verify. I’ve just come across a case on my local board of a person using an android wallet called “Bitcoin Wallet”. The app now crashes every time he tries to use it, and only (fortunately) allows him to create a backup. He’s tried all sorts of things to get it working, but still cannot (and is wishing to dump the wallet once he gets access to his funds).

The thing is, the wallet does not seem to provide a menu accessible way to see or export his private keys, and is therefore stuck. I’ve located a thread where some members point to developments that allow you to export the private keys from the backup through third-party open source software. Risky as it could turn out to be, it seems that he has no other alternative than to give it a go, since apparently there is no built-in way to see them (and the App crashes constantly).
