KeePassDroid creating network traffic?

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install the app on Nexus 4, Android 4.2.1
2. Select Keystore and use it
3. Check data usage

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Since the app does not request network permission, I do not expect to see any 
traffic there. However, it shows a bit of traffic (6.52kb) which has not 
changed since then.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Current version from Play Store on Android 4.2.1

See the attached screenshots. I have also filed a security issue at the android 
project. I hope this turns out to be a bug in the data usage view, though and 
does not mean that my passwords could have been compromised.

KeePassDroid takes advantage of the service Google provides to android apps to back up settings data. This stores your information from the settings screen of the app. None of the information from your databases are backed up to this service. This service doesn't require the network permission, but you can opt out of it for your phone entirely from the android settings menu. http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/data/backup.html Since it doesn't have the network permission KeePassDroid does not have any other access to network resources.
