Would anybody be willing to help me encrypt my address with pgp for a vendor? No PC or Mac, I'm on android.

Igolder.com/pgp is a good one but your still gonna have a hard time copying the . pgp public key. your best bet is to send a privnote. from privnote.com. you'll be able to copy and paste the URL provided and it will be encrypted to that URL
lol I'm on an android. right now that's why this. message has crappy formmating

I got and want to use APG but the only way I'm award of importing keys without contacting vendors first is from the clipboard. A feature that is lacking. I don't want to email or even reply.

Do not use IGolder and do not use Privnote. They are both awful and both security risks. There are plenty of threads here already on why both of them are incredibly bad (just do a couple of searches, one on "igolder" and the other on "privnote").
I've already responded to you directly with several reasons why the IGolder PGP pages need to be avoided. The reasons for not using Privnote are fairly similar and essentially boil down to handing your secrets over to a third party.
Still, if you are going to insist on using insecure systems, that's on your head. Just don't advise other people to do the same thing.

APG is pretty much the best choice for Android, but it's still a fairly new project compared to programs like PGP (21 years old) and GPG (13 years old) so some features may not be quite there yet.
