No, from what I have read in here I don't think there is anyone developing an Android version. So it is not "still developing", as the development has never started.

If it's the 7", the spec doesn't really support being much more than a very basic consumption device.
If it's the 8" 16GB Fire, for approx GBP20 more, you can get a refurb (as new) iPad Mini 2, much higher spec (and no adds), full new product warranty and be writing now, rather than PERHAPS being able to write on a Fire in a year or two (just my wild guess on Android Scrivener availability) , IF the Android version works on the Amazon fork of Android (aparently many apps don't).
While I use an iPad Pro 12.9 as my main device, I do have a refurb 32GB iPad Mini 2 that does work a treat. (and you can get all your Amazon Prime content on it - at least all I've tried)

And that is your/their right, though could never understand that thought process.
I don't particularly like MS as a company, and many of their products for their poor security and MS's, unsavoury bully tactics in the past (I remember DRDOS, OS/2, WP and other victims), likewise Google for their trampling of customer privacy and lack of security, and Samsung for shoddy treatment of staff with cancer from chemical exposure, plus go ask Dyson, Pioneer, TSMC, and yes Apple about stolen tech. There's always some way to justify a dislike of any particular company.
I always ask the question, what is the best, most productive solution at this time, and the immediate future? I'm not about to let my (petty?) dislikes get in the way of productivity.
At this moment, and likely for some time, in mobile for writing iOS is the way.
My post wasn't an attempt to 'convert' the 'anti anything Apple brigade', just pointing out for those looking at the cost issue, there is currently a reasonable alternative to a wait that may or may not result in a version that works on that particular device (Fire).
Though unashamedly a fan of Apple tech and solutions, my kit includes Mac, Windows (7 and 10), iOS and Samsung (Android).

Apple devices have never done what I need them to do. When they decide to change their business model, I might give them another look.
