It's not that easy:

1) Android does not use libc, which may be a problem to port the 
interpreter.

2) Maybe Qt allows to write a GUI program on Android using C++. But if 
you want to use the standard Android GUI, I guess you have to use Java 
code and call it from the interpreter.

3) I have no experience in Android developpement, so there is a learning 
curve (i.e. time).
