Basic:

An android is a robot or synthetic organism made to resemble the human form.


Genders:

Generally, an android doesn't really have a gender, as it is a technological being. However, as an android is made to resemble a human being (which does have gender), it will usually look either male or female.

Even though the word 'android' can refer to both male and female forms, it actually is preferred to refer to male forms, as it comes from andr- (Base of the Greek word for 'man'). In this context, the word 'gynoid' (gyn- being the base of the Greek word for 'woman') is used to refer to female androids.
