[GIS] Working with GeoServer and OpenLayers in Android

Question

I have an application using GeoServer and OpenLayers web platform, but must use the Android OpenLayers offline.

My doubt is the following, I can install GeoServer on Android? to work with OpenLayers using phonegap?

Do you have any suggestions on the other hand is the platform?

Dmitry Baryshnikov and west Efan provided links and explanations, most like to take one more question.

Today I have an application OpenLayers to be communicating with a server "GeoServer"

I would like to take my OpenLayers JavaScript in mobile, offline however, I would like somehow I store GeoServer data (WMS with JSON) that OpenLayers need on Android, or some other way to do this?

GeoServer is spatial data source. Android is one of a client, such as desktop or web. For Android you can use such SDKs:
