The "device" intended here is in fact Thunderbird with Enigmail, but
Enigmail has no Key Import/Export feature built-in yet. The procedure
/could/ be done manually with existing features, but it is overly
complex, and not documented.

I would suggest to go another route. Android also has the feature to
import the key from a regular ASCII armored file. Export the key from
Enigmail or the console and transfer it to the phone manually.
