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.
