This is exactly what I do NOT want. This procedure creates/replicates a full wallet.
No it does not. It replicates a watch only wallet that allows you view and monitor transactions but you cannot sign a transaction with it cause it does not contain the private keys.
A full wallet has to have the private keys and allow transaction signing.

After creating a standard wallet on Android and scanning the QR-Code from Windows Screen the wallet is created.
And it is writeable :-((((
I can send BTCs.
Not if you scan the master private key and not the public key.

So again: How can I create a watch-only wallet view from an existing wallet on other device (Windows)?
Follow the instructions in the first reply again but with more careful attention to it.
