How to sync contacts between iCloud and Gmail?

Synchronizing iCloud and Gmail are not very difficult, but before doing that let me clarify between using iCloud and Gmail for backing up contacts on both iPhone and Android.

If you are using Android phone your contact and others will be back up to your Gmail account. This synchronize automatically base on the period you set or specified. If you are using iPhone your contact and others will have to be backed up to iCloud.

Now you want to transfer either from your iPhone to Android phone or vice versa. One of the most important things that you need to transfer is your contact list. When you check in the App Store, you will see some apps that can help you sync contacts between the two devices, but in this article I will be using iCloud for the synchronization. The following are the very simple steps on how to sync iCloud contacts with Gmail for Android phones. You can sync manually and at the same time you can automate the synchronization.
