Can you write a code in Python and convert it to an Android app?

YES.

You can convert the Python code to an Android App. However, this is easier said than done. You need special tools for this conversion as Android does not have python interpreter installed by default. Following frameworks are the tools you need. You can use one of these to convert the python code to an Android App. Major drawback of such methods are the inability of the programmer to use the access native device features. Python is considered as an alternative to Java ย  or Kotlin which are the de facto languages to develop the android apps.
