Amendments cannot be done on an android....your options are:

Find a computer to use.

Use a paid preparer. 

Get the forms and complete it manually.

If you cannot use a computer from a trusted friend or relative for amending your tax return then you can complete the return manually.  An amended tax return can only be printed and mailed, it cannot be e-filed.
