I'd like to use tiddlywiki in my laptop and also android tablet. On the tablet it can be just for new tiddlers (so not viewing existing ones). I cannot work with tiddlyspot, but google drive is ok.

I thought of the following schema:
* Keep main wiki on google drive
* In the tablet, for each session, create a new wiki on google drive
* After updating in the tablet, import into the main wiki.

This avoid accidentally updating from two devices and causing conflicts (or maybe this isn't an issue). But, it means that after I import a tiddler, I need to setup the links to it. Also, is there an android app that makes it easy to create new wikis in google drive?

Thanks,
Ittay

If you use Google Drive desktop app, ie. not via browser, or I guess you can use the tw straight off. This way you can reach it from all your devices.

I just started using DropBox that gives you a regular windows-looking folder on - I think - any computer.

When you use it this way, you can just use the regular <<saveChanges>> macro to save directly.

Hope that is of any value.

This depends on what content you're dealing with. If you add single-type tiddlers, may be you can just tag them and use tag/list macros; otherwise, I don't see much possibilities for automation. You can use the "missing" list to track what you have imported, but creating links is somewhat "manual by nature"..
 
Also, is there an android app that makes it easy to create new wikis in google drive?

I think, the answer is "if AndTidWiki can't help (does Google allow to change its folder? because ATW can't) and you don't want to use Dropbox (may be TiddlyWiki in the Sky [1] can help), then there's no other option".

But I'd ask why you want to create a new TW each time? (I suspect that with SharedTiddlersPlugin [2] you can establish a useful configuration, but to help with that, I need to understand your needs).
