Fabrizio, I have zero experience in the Android platform, so not very helpful there. I do have over a decade of experience with GIS though, and when you say "ESRI format" it could mean a number of things, I assume you are talking about the Shapefile format [1]
Android is often referred to as a "subset" of Java, whatever that means (again, excuse my ignorance on this). In Java environments there are many options to render a shapefile into an image, a good open source library is geotools [2]. I have the gut feeling that it will have a lot of Java 2D required packages that might not be part of Android from what I have heard. Good luck and let us know how it goes.
