But if I need this info to create a wallet on a market place and don't have accesss to anything else than a phone, what do I do?

any market place asking for your private keys is a scam. your private keys are supposed to stay private.

you just need a receiving address from your wallet to receive bitcoin. that is what you make public. address begin with '1' or '3'.

Install Electrum on your phone. It is the perfect wallet for your phone. It has great features and you can use it anywhere and you can put the addresses of Electrum in any exchange or market place you want to. Just click on New every time you need a new address to get a new address if you don't want to use the same address in different places to conserve privacy.

You can use your phone's browser to use online wallet like blockchain.info, you could easily use it and get your public key to receive funds.

Addresses are generated on the go as needed.
Private keys are encrypted and are not supposed to be extracted from the phone or showing in plain text.

If you want all your keys on another device, the simple way is to import the seed which contains all the information you need.

Sorry, extremely new in ths world, and stuck on an android phone for the job, but where do I find wallet addresses and private/public keys in the apps? Can only find instructions for computer versions.
