I'm getting this too. It appears that no files are recognized as valid key 
files despite the fact that they all can be valid key files.

Its a known KitKat issue, as a workaround Philip the developer suggested to me 
to try installing a file browser (I use ES file manager) and open the .key file 
from within Keepass2Android using that app instead, and that works for me fine.

This was his explanation of the issue:
'There's an issue with the built-in "Storage Access Framework" of KitKat (which 
I was not yet able to resolve). I'll try to fix this in one of the upcoming 
releases'

Ditto. I'll try ES file manager :)

This also seems to work if you set up the file manager for cloud access (Google 
Drive, OneDrive, etc.) although, for Google Drive at least, you always have to 
browse to the file this way (rather than using the Open Recent Database 
shortcut) because it only downloads the temp file when you browse to it via 
file manager (ES File Manager in my case).
