FYI, I've had SS website output on a Galaxy Note 2 phone using Android operating system for some time now. I replied to one or more inquiries on the SS google group list with details. Similar to Michael's post below, I found that it worked for me by copying the SS output files/folders that I made for CD output to a secondary storage card on the phone. I found through trial and error that the default built-in Android OS browser did not work (as far as I experimented / tried) and found that the Firefox app for the phone did work. Once the site is found in Firefox, I access it through a bookmark or history rather than navigation within the phone data storage - works for me. Also, unlike Michael, I have / had no issue using Android 4 versions, where Michael notes below otherwise.

I now can use the new version of ES File Explorer to fully access the external SD card on my Android phone. The external card root is now "/storage/extSdCard". I made a directory for my SS files named: /storage/extSdCard/Android/data/Genealogy The new version of FireFox reads these SS files from the external card without any difficulty, and I have a bookmark to the index main file. So we Android users are back in business with SS on external SD cards. Michael
It is also possible on Android phones (mine at least, pre-Lollipop vintage) to create an icon on the home screen that will open up your file directly without having to go through a bookmark or history. In FF, first access the file. Then long-hold the URL box and choose "Add to home screen". In Chrome, instead choose the drop down menu (the three dots), then "Add to home screen".
