Can you explain in more detail what you did to import the keys? Do the corresponding addresses appear in the Android wallet's address book?

listaddressgroupings -> dumpprivkey for every address that has non-zero balance

Ok, that's how you exported them from bitcoin-qt, and sounds correct. How did you import them on the other side?

I looked up how .key files are constructed and just pasted respective private keys. It was imported successfully into Android wallet. 
 Maybe there is a more straightforward way? Tried pywallet -> multibit, but pywallet only outputs encrypted keys...

So to confirm, the imported addresses *do* show up in the "Your addresses" tab of the address book?  Have you tried the "Reset blockchain" option in the Settings menu?

Yes. I reset it a few times. Addresses that show up match output of listaddressgroupings.

Are you actually in sync with the block chain?  Under "Network Monitor" in the Blocks tab, do you have recent blocks (286904 is current right now)?

Strange.  Then I'm afraid I'm out of ideas.  It may be time for a bug report to Schildbach and the Android Bitcoin Wallet maintainers.
