pgrouting runs on the PostgreSQL and PostGIS database, and I don't know 
that those have been ported to Android. ;)

The typical way to use pgrouting for a mobile app, is to write a web 
service which uses pgrouting (on the server, which runs a webserver and 
PostGIS), and write your mobile app to query that web service.

This does mean that your mobile app needs to connect to the Internet and 
to your service, in order to get directions.
