AFAIK, there isn't way to be doing this yet for Android -- but the mobile
team is currently working on building out the functionality for this in the
Android PhoneGap application.
This is a great initiative, though, and something that is being
experimented with on a few Linux tablets. These tablets have an offline
Wikipedia stored on the SD card, which is then read by the application
Kiwix[1] which is already installed on the low-memory device.

I'm wanting to know if there is a way to distribute Wikipedia in a small
language on memory cards for android phones. This is for people for whom
data service is not available or cost prohibitive, and who may not have
access to a computer for transfer. Physical distribution of cards is
something that could be done.
