Signing a message isn't supported by your client yet. You'd need to export the private key for the Bitcoin address you need to sign a message from and import it into another client that supports signing, such as electrum or bitcoin core. I'm not sure if there are any Android clients that support signing yet.

I'm not too familiar with Bitcoin Wallet for Android so I'm not sure how you'd go about exporting it.

How would I sign a transaction?

Signing a transaction is essentially sending Bitcoins.

Just found you can sign a message with the Mycelium Android wallet. Just click on "keys" tab and select the address you want then click "sign message". It's quick and simple and has share link and copy to clipboard button.

there is also a schildbach->mycelium importer for your key, if you need to sign a message with a key that was part of the wallet.
