That's odd... is the importer on Android set to allow duplicates? The only thing I can think of that would cause this would be if you export a list of cards that belong to multiple categories (in which case, in a text file export the same card would be repeated under each category) and then reimport it with duplicate cards set to "allow" (in which case each of those duplicate copies would result in a separate card).
Actually I did not import any flashcards with Android so far, but as I only import small portions of new vocabulary, I changed the import filter now from Merge Cats to Allow Duplicates (which I clean afterwords).
I think I found the reason for the problem (not yet the solution): the manual says "Under Include Data, you can configure which parts of your flashcards you'd like to embed in the exported file. Categories exports the categories flashcards are assigned to; Text / PalmDoc files are formatted as lists of cards for each category,
so cards under more than one category will be exported multiple times."
This is different from windows mobile: when I include the categories, I get multiple export records for multiple categories; if I do not export the category name, I get every card only once even if it has more than one category. I made an export with the same database in windows mobile, including the categories, and got the same 12800 records as with Android (without category export).
I export all my flashcards every 2 weeks and use the export file to create a new user dictionary and found the problem, when I saw lots of multiple entries in this user dictionary. Is there any comfortable way to create this user dictionary without duplicates?
