Take a look at the Canvas method drawBitmap() http://developer.android.com/reference/android/graphics/Canvas.html#drawBitmap(android.graphics.Bitmap,%20android.graphics.Rect,%20android.graphics.Rect,%20android.graphics.Paint)
with that one you can specify the bitmap (the sprite sheet), the subset of the bitmap you want to display (the current frame) and the destination on the screen. To make it animate you'll want to keep track of the amount of time you've displayed the current frame, you can do this by updating a counter by the amount of time that passes between each update call e.g. when you update model position etc. When it exceeds whatever you've decided to be your frame-rate you change the current frame and reset the timer. I'll see if I can make some of my code a little more readable and post it up later if you're still stuck.
