is it possible to make android app using rust? any step by step tutorial?
For future projects, Dioxus should have Android support. Currently, it only has iOS support, with Android being available with a little extra work using cargo-mobile. The getting started docs give the explanation.

Some questions about egui and guis in general
About Android specifically, I contributed some things upstream to try and help support using Egui on Android. It's still not perfect but it's certainly doable. Related to that I've worked on this glue layer for Android: https://github.com/rib/android-activity which I've also been utilizing with Winit + Egui to help improve Android support. That repo also includes an Egui example: https://github.com/rib/android-activity/tree/main/examples/agdk-egui
