It involves a lot more work than I was willing to put in, especially if you're considering making a game. The graphics and animation don't make themselves. But here's a link I thought might've been useful:

I was looking into this a month ago to see if I could make a personal project out of making an app. What I can tell you is there is no easy way.

I think the absolute easiest way is to buy a program to develop it, and use the code from there.

I also know of Moai, which I'm pretty sure can be used to develop for Android.

Java is fairly close to C# syntax and is pushed pretty heavily by google as the language to use for android.

Tic tac toe or something similar is pretty simple, an actual game (read: something that uses a main loop to execute) is pretty difficult.

Not making a game? lol.
This
The main thing here is, you have a development lead: you.
You don't have any of the other necessary jobs, from bigs things like programming, design, art, and sound, to little things like playtesting and general debug testing.
Essentially, you have the easiest part of the game: the idea. You need the people and skills to make it come to life.

Another option is to use some java engine, but that might be harder to get off the ground. (or unity
As a dev, I like to use the best tool for the job. GameMaker for simple 2d things, unity for more intensive 3d things, or java (with eclipse), for everything else (or when in doubt)

toucheI've always loved seeing how long it took for me to crash GM by spawning stuff.
Still, a personal favorite of mine for rapid prototyping and game jams (Which is basically rapid prototyping)

Well, it's so fun to crash GM by spawning personality cores from Portal 2....
At least to me.

Try stencyl.com it is pretty good.
Never heard of it, but then again I only develop on iOS.
