May I suggest you make a menu for that screen (menu button and/or long press on the QR) that allows to save the image, send the image (bluetooth) etc?
The solution might be to change this to a real activity instead of just a dialog, and add more options as you suggest. The problem with writing it to an SD card is that this would require the app to have more privileges, and I kind of like that it right now only needs Network access. This allows the user to have more trust that the app does not mess around with stuff it shouldn't, and prevents the user from by mistake leaving the image on the SD card for other apps to snag. Thanks for the suggestion, I'll have to think about this.

Could it be an issue with screen resolution? My phone has a relatively low resolution (320x480), maybe there is no room for the button?
Whatever the reason, I have the same as dunand. No copy button. App is up to date.
It may be caused by the resolution, but I doubt that as there seems to be room enough to render it. One of the problems with Android apps is that there are so many different versions and mods that it makes it hard to verify on all combinations. This is something I'll have to investigate. Whatever the reason, I have the same as dunand. No copy button. App is up to date.

this is what I see.
did u run the recent upgrade?
i have Copy to Clipboard directly under that QR code. strange.
this is what I see.
I can confirm I have NO copy to clipboard under the qr code. I'm on 2.3.4. It must be a bug.
Last time I installed qtqr on my laptop to scan the phone with the laptop's webcam. Now go tell my girlfriend that bitcoin is simple to use.

let me be more specific; click on menu, then settings, then backup wallet, verify with Yes, QR code pops up with Copy to Clipboard directly underneath.

right under the QR code itself

is this a backup of both pub/priv key or just priv key?
It is a backup of a random seed that allows BitcoinSpinner to deterministically generate keys.Its not very useful at the moment IMO. It shows a QR code, but that it. Which means I have to use another smartphone or something to make a picture of it. It would be better if I could save that code somewhere, bluetooth it, whatever. Perhaps even mail it I want it on my main pc, otherwise I cant print it.
There is a 'Copy to Clipboard' button, which puts the textual representation of the seed on the clipboard. you can use this to regenerate the QR code using for instance http://qrcode.kaywa.com/
Personally I use a digital camera and take a picture, which i then print out. It's a bit cumbersome, but I haven't found a way to print directly from my phone.
Whenever you install BitcoinSpinner you should make a QR-code backup (Click Options button -> Settings -> Backup Wallet). This is a one time operation, which lets you restore the wallet at any time on any device. In short, killer-feature.

Hm, is there any reason to drop private keys after uninstallation? I tried to reinstall BitcoinSpinner and now I have nice clean wallet ;-).
As an example, bitcoin wallet using bitcoinj is keeping private keys untouched so I can uninstall and install application as I want. Well, I expected that BitcoinSpinner is doing the same. But I see "Use at your own risk", so this is just a recommendation, not a complain...

BitcoinSpinner uses private app storage, which is wiped at uninstall. However, this also has the nice feature that other apps cannot get to it, which is paramount. Another nice thing is that BitcoinSpinner only needs network access privileges. This lets you know that it does not try to snag your address book or keys from other apps using SD card storage.
Oops I broke the rule of three posts in a row.

I'll add a visual reminder which is shown right after first launch in a coming release.

vuce, thanks for link. But looks like Monday release isn't there yet ;-).
Yep, that will be next monday. Read the rest of the thread for the embarrassing reason 
To sum up, you cannot spend BTC if your balance is <= 1 BTC because of a UI bug that disables the Send button. I kneel in the dust, it is my fault sire.

Hi, today I tried to use BitcoinSpinner. I have 0.9957 BTC on my wallet (confirmed), but I'm unable to spend any money from the wallet, because "Send Bitcoins" button is disabled even when I put 0.1 or 0.01 as "Amount to pay". Any idea?
