All my friends use iPhone but one of my friends use Android. Is there a way to use Find My Friends to include my Android friend also? If so, how please?

Friends don't let friends buy Androids.

That's correct. Find My Friends is an Apple proprietary system. It is not cross platform.
If your friends don’t have a smartphone, you can still use the Find My Friends App to locate them. Just send them an invite via text. Once they reply with a “yes,” their icon will show up on the App’s map. The App uses cell phone tower triangulation to help you find friends no matter where they are. Locate friends on the Find My Friends App with any phone.

The App works with iPhones, Android Phones, BlackBerry phones, and even non-Smartphones. Just install the App on all the phones that you want to be tracked. For non-smartphones, just send an invite via text, and once the invite is accepted, that phone can be tracked.
My friend has smartphone. So you are saying the Find My Friends is available for both iOS and Android and my friend just needs to down the Find My Friend app for Android?
I assume Apple created the Find My Friends app for Android also and not some 3rd party company
I just checked and the Find My Friends app on Android was developed by this company https://www.life360.com.
So I don't understand. All my friends are using the Find My Friends app from apple and you are saying my Android friend needs to download the Find My Friends app from this company life360?
No. I am saying that Find My Friends is an Apple proprietary app and location service.
Whatever the Android app you found is, it does not come from Apple. It is not sanctioned by Apple, based on what I can see on their web site, it does not interact with Apple's Find My Friend's service at all.
In order to use that, everyone involved has to download their app and use it instead of Find My Friends.
No. Find My Friends is not available for android.
I see. So there's no way to use the Find My Friends from Apple and interact with Android. I have to use this Find My Friend app from this company on all iOS and Android right?
