How do I set up an Apple ID on an android phone?
Question marked as
You cannot create an Apple ID on an Android device. If you already have an Apple ID then some facilities are available.
If you don't already have an iCloud account you can set one up on a Mac or iOS device: Set up iCloud on all your devices - Apple Support
...or you can set up a 'web-only' account with limited facilities at icloud.com: Web-only access to iCloud - Apple Support
You can access your contacts, calendars and email on Android using these apps:
SmoothSync for Cloud Calendar - Apps on Google Play
SmoothSync for Cloud Contacts - Apps on Google Play
and you can access your email using these settings:
Mail server settings for iCloud email clients - Apple Support
However, it's a bit of a fandango. As you are using a non-Apple app to access your email or other facilities, you are now required to use an 'app-specific' password in place of your normal iCloud password. In order to do this you need to set up two-factor authentication for your Apple ID, and for this you need to have either a Mac running el Capitan or above, or an iOS device running iOS9 or above.

___________________________________
If you are unable to set up two-factor authentication you should set up 2-step verification and use that to create an app-specific password (see link below) . Then go to https://appleid.apple.com , select 'Password and Security'; click 'Generate an App-Specific Password' and follow the instructions. Once you have the password, copy it and paste it into the password field in the application instead of your usual iCloud password. You should also keep a note of it (though you can generate a new one if required).

You will need to nominate a 'trusted device': any phone capable of receiving SMS messages. There will be a 2-day wait before you can complete the process.
(A particular caveat (about 2-step only) - you will be issued with a 'Recovery Key' in case you lose your 'trusted device'. Make sure to write this down and keep it in a safe place; if you lose both it and your trusted device you will be permanently locked out of your ID. You'd be surprised at the number of people who've posted here that they've got themselves into just that position.)
