It is a big issue. I will suggest you that if your android wallet which you are using allow to export the private keys. Then you just can do export and import them into BCH wallet.

No bro,  I think this is it you have lost your coins, sorry for you.
I think, you have no way of recovery! With bitcoin and altcoin!

Try actually reading the replies first before you go spamming the thread with largely worthless posts that give completely the wrong impression.  We've identified some potential solutions.  There is still a small chance these coins can be recovered, albeit with a bit of effort involved.  It's not like the coins have been sent to an address the OP doesn't control, since that would be game over.  But since OP owns the address the coins are in, they might still be recoverable.

I think, you have no way of recovery! With bitcoin and altcoin! When sending and receiving need to carefully check the wallet address! All confusion leads to the loss of Crypto!

No bro,  I think this is it you have lost your coins, sorry for you. Anyway every exchange is warning us every time that we need to send on particular wallet only particular coins that are passing and that was it.

That's a problem that people need to avoid, so many people have encountered this problem, I advise you to be careful with your transactions.

I dont have any seed words or cant even remember seeing them.. im a newbie to this.. its bascially clear that im f*cked lol.. gutted...

Not necessarily.  If you have a slightly geeky friend who you would trust not to run off with your money, you could get them to follow the "rather convoluted" steps I posted earlier.  

Alternatively, if you can find a backup file of your BTC android wallet (the one where you sent the BCH coins to), there's a slightly less complicated option, although admittedly still more technical than you would normally expect to be dealing with as a newbie.

You know exactly where the funds are, so you haven't "lost" them, as such.  It's just that you can't move them without a key or seed phrase to import into a BCH wallet.  If it's an amount you wouldn't feel comfortable losing, don't give up yet.

Keep us posted on what you find, and we'll tell you if you're heading in the right direction or not.

IN another thread (look  In my posts)we were discussing how much is difficult to understand bitcoin. Lot of people told me bitcoin is very easy to understand, other stated it is very difficult.
Here, this horror story demonstrates how much bitcoin is actually difficult.
Monetary freedom bear great risk, and you cannot rely on anyone but you.

My two cents,

I cant see anywhere on the app where it lets me see private keys.. only the bitcoin address.. and a recieve coins address.. so confused right now!

Apparently, Bitcoin Wallet for Android isn't the simplest wallet to access the keys directly.  There is a guide for how to export your private key, but sadly, it sounds like a rather convoluted process, so we'll leave that to one side as a last resort for now.  Ideally, there's an easier way.

Hopefully you still have your seed words, since that's the far easier solution.  Don't disclose your seed words to anyone, since they give access to your funds.  Also, make sure you don't inadvertently download any malware when you try to download the equivalent BCH version of the Android wallet.  Find a legitimate wallet, not a malicious copy designed to steal funds.  Unfortunately, it's all too easy to get this part wrong, since unscrupulous people have taken advantage of this rather common mix-up and have created fake wallets.  I don't really use BCH or the android wallet for either coin, but hopefully someone reputable can point you in the right direction for a safe download link.  Once you have the right wallet, use your seed words and you should find your coins.

Try not to panic, since that's when mistakes are more easily made.  Take it slowly and calmly.

Tell us the wallet and we'll guide you. It's possible that the wallet doesn't support that and you'll have to use the 12 words (If any) to get them.

You said a wallet, if that's true, you have the private key "or seeds" of that wallet? Right?
These currencies will not appear in your wallet but copy and paste your address "receiving address" at any bytether block explorer.
Since it's a fork of Bitcoin, I think importing the Pvt key  will solve your problem.

If whatever android wallet you're using allow exporting the private keys, you could do that and import them into a BCH wallet.
