How about using the Android Java/JavaScript bridge to send data between the two layers. The integration technique is part of the core Android framework.

PhoneGap is also great but is overkill if you just want to stick to Android

Here is a tutorial on how this stuff works: http://code.google.com/p/openmobster/wiki/JavascriptBridge

There is no easy way to just pull a variable from client side javascript into application level Java. Hopefully someone can come along and give a good original answer. However, the PhoneGap library has an easy way to do this. PhoneGap can tie javascript events to native application events which is extremely useful. If you really want to do this I would recommend at least checking out PhoneGap.
