As you can tell from the initial setup wizard, there is no option/template for Android. That means it's not even close to being supported. Which means, if it works, it works. If it doesn't work, it doesn't work.

Having said that, 1) there are no Guest Additions for Android, 2) I have a couple of Androind VMs and they're all working fine with or without mouse integration. Where did you get your Android image from? What are your settings? Please read the following and act accordingly: Minimum information needed for assistance.
