Android is basically a linux distro.
Theoretically you can.
But you need to root your OS. (to reach the terminal as root).
Then you can compile & run any pool miner for linux.

You can't mine bitcoins  using android.. To control your miner via android yes it's possible...

This is somewhat akin to asking "Can I use my Android phone as the PA system for a rock concert in a stadium?"
Of course you can, but the results won't be satisfying. Mining needs specialized hardware, and even if you buy some ASIC hardware you're likely to get less than your investment when you subtract operating costs from mining results.

If you need to ask whether you can mine with your phone it is very unlikely that you could make a profit with any mining hardware since you don't know nearly enough about it.
