The short answer is that you can't do it. Try typing 'android' into the search box at the top of the forum page.
Pi2B Mini-PC/Media Centre: ARM=1GHz (+3), Core=500MHz, v3d=500MHz, h264=333MHz, RAM=DDR2-1200 (+6/+4/+4+schmoo). Sandisk Ultra HC-I 32GB microSD card on '50=100' OCed slot (42MB/s read) running Raspbian/KODI16, Seagate 3.5" 1.5TB HDD mass storage.

Here's a question from left field - and I would be very interested to know the answer as your question keeps coming up. Why do you think Android will run on Raspberry PI?

I have another question:

What does Android have that Raspbian Linux doesn't??

(and I hope the answer isn't Flash Player and Angry Birds) :D

Well Microsoft don't support XP either that's not going to stop you installing software from 3rd party sources :)
