Where did you see stuff about coding in the link? The guidelines describe how the application should look and function, not how to code them. Android users expect Android applications to follow the platform conventions. If you follow these well, then your application will be usable for Android users. If you are looking for general design guidelines, then you should buy any generic design textbook and read. – codinguser Apr 12 '11 at 11:43

I would imagine that a lot (but obviously not all by any means) of Apple's iOS human interface guidelines may be transferable to Android HI design. Might be worth a read.

Probably related and useful: How can I improve the look and feel of an Android app?

Lots of useful links listed there.
