No, the app uses its own database. I think the better way to sync would be to adapt the database scheme to match the desktop app, see #567.
I, too, would love to have the possibility to just open, edit and save the file, rather than importing every opened file into an inaccessible local copy. The only workaround I see is to go to Menu > Open..., make your modifications, then Menu > Export > XML > overwrite the file. Works with cloud storage as well. The unwanted side effect is that you get a lot of copies locally, but maybe you can call it an unexpected backup.
It will be the last piece of the puzzle to get the "auto-sync" thing working between desktop and mobile. Basically I have a NAS, and I mapped a net drive to my desktop, there I created a folder for gnucash file. I finished some bookkeeping there. Then, on my phone, I installed my NAS app which provides a file service similar to dropbox. In gnucash-android I open the file, from the file service. Things load perfectly. Now greedy me just want to be able to record transactions on the phone and get that sync back. I assume this would happen automatically if the https://redpiranha.net/news/online-bitcoin-wallets-open-compromise-weak-private-key-generation-code can updated that .gnucash file.
Steps to reproduce the behaviour
Expected behaviour
the ledger.gnucash file should be updated and contains the added transaction
Actual behaviour
the transaction is not added
