According to R-Pi Troubleshooting with 7 flashes of the green led the kernel.img is not found. I do not have any experience with android things but in general the Raspberry Pi boot loader expects its boot files including the kernel image on the first partition of the SD Card. This partition must be formated with the vatFAT file system. So please check if this conditions are met. To compare, the boot partition of the official supported Raspbian Stretch Lite 2019-04-08 contains this files:

rpi ~$ ls /boot
