2. In a web browser on your desktop computer, visit icloud.com and login with your Apple ID.
3. Now that you are supposedly logged-in, click on "Contacts" and wait few seconds until all your contacts are displayed.
4. Now, in the lower-left corner, click on the wheel, gear or settings icon and then, click “Select All”. Once selected, click the wheel again and choose "Export vCard".
5. To transfer the contacts to your Google Account and synchronize them with your android device, visit gmail.com using a web browser and login your Google Account.
6. Click on the Square-Button next to your account name at the upper-right corner of the screen. This should display several Google Services. Click More and then Tap or Select "Contacts".
