RFE: provide some mechanism to import private keys #84

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

Probably no UI required for this.
Some folks like using vanity addresses (generated with vanitygen or somesuch.) 
While I see a very obvious way to export private keys from the android app 
(which is great BTW), I see no equivalent method to import them in.

Pretty low priority stuff, but here's to hoping there's a cheap way to make it 
possible. :)

I'm absolutely with you.

I have already implemented this as a preview, however BitCoinJ cannot replay 
blockchains currently and thus importing keys is still not possible.

Can't you cross compile the native library to arm? So you don't need to 
re-write it in Java?

Which native library are you talking about?

As of version 2.31, it is now possible to import private keys (see README).
