Replace the phone with an iPhone.
There's no way for the iPad to talk directly to your Android phone; they're using different operating systems. It sounds as though you just expected that that would somehow happen and, frankly, if you had an iPhone, it would.
There are several different ways to do it indirectly, at some remove, things like working in a complicated way through Google, in a not very less complicated way through and Exchange server, and perhaps there are some other specialized apps and sites out there that would provide the service you're looking for.
You have to look at your own systems and requirements and see which approach might best suit you.
Are you using your GMail account for your calender? If so, you can keep both devices in sync if you set your GMail account up as an Exchange account on your iPad. Then, any changes you make on either device are pushed to the other. See:

If you do this, just a word of advice ... pay attention to the "Delete Email" section of this article. By default, email that you delete from your GMail inbox will be archived, not deleted. Since you're setting this up as an Exchange account, the only way to change that is to follow Google's instructions to set the behavior to actually delete messages rather than archive (a "standard" GMail account in iOS has an option for this in Settings, but not if it is an Exchange account).
You go to drop down menu on iPad calender. You need to look on iPad calender to see if gmail is checked. If yes, good. Also uncheck iCloud from calender in drop down menu. This way it works both ways from calender on iPad to android and from phone back to iPad. This is the correct answer.
How does calender sync with android?
