While I don't disagree that Android is certainly popular and growing ever more so, I don't think the methodology in place really justifies making comparisons of "popularity". This is a place where the homogeneity of the iOS platform really comes in - there's a pretty limited set of devices, which eliminates a lot of the "how do I get Android to do X on Y handheld" questions that would distort their numbers. The Android APIs have certainly been evolving more rapidly in the timeframe under question than iOS, as well - there's a broad base of previously answered questions to draw from without asking another one.

If they are using number of questions as the benchmark I would buy your argument. It doesn't matter if pageviews is considered. Developing for Android and searching for a solution related to android need not happen from an android device. Most developers don't code in their handhelds.
