What do you want to do with Android GIS? it is basically the same as any other GIS! Often just small customised application for remote/portable devices for in the field usage. The customised apps are usually basic and easy to learn. Creating customised applications might be profitable - one would have to start with learning the basics of coding/programming, GIS workflows and android interface. The same is happening with traditional GIS going web based with customised applications for a very wide audience being developed (started with Google Earth). Same skills would be needed (coding, web publishing) a lot of android applications just run of the internet.
