I don't think Weka (at least the interesting parts of it) could run on 
Android either. I don't really foresee the whole Scipy stack running on 
Android; maybe one day when all dependencies are rewritten in PyPy and 
are faster and still 100% compatible...

One thing that would be possible (but I don't know whether it would be 
useful for any appliers) would be to implement a prediction-only 
library, so you could develop models on your PC or in the cloud, 
download the pickled estimator and deploy it.  However I think people 
who need to do this end up writing the whole custom predictor; as it'd 
be more efficient.

Do you have any specific use case in mind for running scikit-learn on 
Android?  Maybe an interesting and more useful project instead would be 
to implement PMML (Predictive Model Markup Language) exporters.

My 2c,
Vlad
