Android and iOS are very different ecosystems. Programming in iOS is usually done with
Objective-C. Android programmers use a customized version of Java. If you want to target both OS's, you'll either have to write two versions of your app or use a cross-platform development tool like Appcelerator.
As for translating a Python program to Java, they use very different programming paradigms so there will not be a 1:1 match for functionality (especially given your mobile requirement, which adds another API in the mix). I honestly don't think you can hope to translate the app without getting knowledgeable about Java and Android.
