I'm sorry to tell you that Android development is not a "career path". Android, as you know it, probably won't exist in 10 years, and likely will be headed downhill in 5. And even if it does survive it will be a "dead end job".
If you want a job in software development (and not in management or marketing), you need to broaden your knowledge. Learn database (more than the narrow POV of Android), learn communications. Learn all the different platforms you can find. Learn assembly language, learn C++, and, perhaps, even RPG (there's still a big market for RPG programmers). Learn about compilers -- parsing and code generation and optimization. Learn algorithms -- trees and tries, Newton's method and Quicksort. You don't need to get this stuff "down cold", but you need the exposure. Then, ten years from now, you'll be faced with a knotty problem and be able to solve it with a bit of knowledge you'd forgotten you even knew. And read some of the old "classics": "GOTO Considered Harmful", "Structured Programming", "Travels in Computerland", and several others I can't recall at the moment.
