AFAIK, there isn't way to be doing this yet for Android -- but the mobile
team is currently working on building out the functionality for this in the
Android PhoneGap application.

This is a great initiative, though, and something that is being
experimented with on a few Linux tablets. These tablets have an offline
Wikipedia stored on the SD card, which is then read by the application
Kiwix[1] which is already installed on the low-memory device.
