Currently there is no inbuilt reporting framework in Android @Rajdeep also mantioned it in his answer. So now we have these options:

1- Export data to a server, generate the reports on the server & download the reports back to your device.

2- Generate pdf type reports using tools like iText.

I am implementing the 2nd option. Please see this good example of how to create pdf documents.
