Hey guys,

right now i have to decide which topic I should pick for my Bachelor Thesis.
One Topic contains developing an app for android. I worked for 4 years as java developer and want to ask,
if it's easy to switch to android development.

thanks in advance

tbh if you've worked for 4 years as a java developer you should be able to spend an hour skimming documentation / videos / sample project and determine how hard the transition is yourself.

obviously it'll involve learning the android framework. if you already have a solid understanding of java, it's not a steep learning curve.

This. Programming android IS programming java. You just need to learn about the android lifecycle, transition screens, and you need to learn how design the UI. You can either do that via xml or android studio has a good designer tool.
