You can use libosmscout (http://libosmscout.sourceforge.net/), which is 
a C++ framework/library for writing application using rendering, 
location lookup, routing, which should allow you to do most of the above.

Challenge: C++ under Android can be tricky, if you not use Qt (which is 
supported) and it is a framework, so you have to write your own 
application based on the libosmscout APIs around it.
