Jun 16, 2015 11:16 AM in response to mytigertattooby KiltedTim,You sell the Android device and use the money to purchase an iPhone. :-P
But seriously... you don't. You can't restore an iCloud backup to anything other than an iOS device.

That said, contacts and other data that are synced to iCloud can be synced to a Mac or accessed at iCloud.com. The other data in the backup would be pretty useless to you anyway since iOS apps won't run on Android and your music should be in iTunes on your computer.
