Would you be willing to explain exactly what you did in the end to recover your coins? I'm sure other users with similar issues will find it helpful in the future to know what you did to fix the problem 
It will also help the "helpers" like myself know what works and what doesn't

one private key is enough or it should by few of them?
you can import one or many private keys, but it would appear that on Android you can only import keys when you first set up a wallet. I couldn't find a way to import keys after the wallet has been first created.if I accidently deleted wallet can I reinstall it some how?
If you have the private keys (or seed of the wallet was an HD wallet) then you can recreate (or restore) the wallet by simply creating a new wallet and importing the private keys again (or restoring from seed).You say you don't have the a seed and only have private keys, so you'll need to import them into a new wallet.
if you have your private keys you can create a new electrum wallet with them. Here are instructions for how to do that on a PC:
https://bitcoinelectrum.com/importing-your-private-keys-into-electrum/
Here are answers to some of your other questions:
Each address has a different key pair behind it. Private and public keys. The public key is derived from the private key and is mathematically related to it. The address is derived from the public key.
Private keys are not the same as public keys. Private keys are secret while public keys are not. Knowledge of the private key allows a person to spend money sent to the corresponding address.
You can see what private keys look like here: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Private_key#Base58_Wallet_Import_format . Addresses are shorter and begin with 1 or 3 https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Address. Public keys are large hexadecimal strings ( case insensitive 0-9,a-f).
Watch-only wallets don't have private keys in them so you can't spend from watch-only wallets.
All private keys in an electrum wallet are derived from the seed. Therefore backing up the seed allows you to recreate your whole wallet.

i try to do it on moble
Here is what happened :when i paste my private keys to android wallet next button stays gray out so cant continue.. .What i do wrong?
If the next button stays greyed out when you paste your private keys in... then they're not in the right format... are your private keys 51 or 52 characters long, and do they start with a 5, L or K?Like these:

The all problem is i do not have a seed:(
can i just copy and paste from my email or it should by saved in txt format?
Electrum on Android shows pretty much the same options when you set the wallet up for the first time:
You should be able to select "Standard Wallet" -> "Use public or private keys" and then Paste all your private keys. NOTE: you cannot "type" the keys in, you can only "Paste" or scan a QR code to enter the key. So you'd need to have all you private keys in a text list so you can copy/paste them.
You can enter a seed created on Desktop Electrum into Android Electrum and it will generate the same addresses/keys...

ok now i have normal wallet and i want to send btc from my watch only wallet to my new one, how can i do it without seed,i have private keys..any sergestions,please?
In any case, if the OP has successfully created a "normal" wallet (I assume they mean a "Standard wallet" with a 12 word seed), they should just sweep the keys (Wallet -> Private Keys -> Sweep) and get all their coins into that wallet.You can enter a seed created on Desktop Electrum into Android Electrum and it will generate the same addresses/keys...
Iuse moble wallet is it the same ?
I don't know, as I said earlier I haven't used the mobile wallet yet. Maybe someone else who has used it can advise you.
