Android phones have native support for Google Services built in.  To configure your Android device, follow the instructions at Google Support.  You can have multiple Google accounts on your phone and it will show contacts and calendars for all of them (calendars from different accounts have different colors by default).  Most other Google apps on the device allow you to switch which account is active or switch between accounts interactively.

Different Android phones from different vendors will look different.
