Try to learn Android and you raise your market value multifold. I would however though learn a scripting language to have a complementary skill-set and put a framework on top of that. I'd recommend Ruby --> Ruby on Rails.

Excuse my ignorance, but why would learning Android increase market value by more than say something like Ruby?
Android is built on Java so learning Android programming is as simple as learning the ins and outs of an Android program rather than a whole new language.

Android won't necessarily increase your market value more than Ruby but it will be a much easier thing to learn considering you already know Java.
