What file do you have? What's it called? You can restore backups from the 
safety menu in the app.

This file is the using the old backup format. Can you put the file on your 
SD-Card (in/on the mobile phone) into the Download folder? So the full path on 
your phone is

/sdcard/Download/bitcoin-wallet-keys-2014-xx-xx

Next, use Options > Safety > Restore wallet and pick the file. Enter your 
password and replay the blockchain.

Does this work?
