I have a couple of android tablets I’d like to use for instrument display. What is the best way to accomplish this; i.e., software and how to mount the tablet on my Honeycomb Alpha yoke.

Not sure how to mount as I don’t have a honeycomb, but you can use spacedesk, it is free. If you want a descent autopilot I would suggest matric, it isn’t free but only cost a few pence a month or you can buy it outright for about 11 quid.
I use three tablets on a mounted panel I made and 2 use spacedesk which I pull the g1000 and g3000 from the tbm to. And the third I use matric for the autopilot.
For software, I run Spacedesk (currently free). You install it on your PC and the tablet, turn it on on the PC and the tablet will find it, connect and it acts as a wireless monitor.
For mounts, I have 1 Android tablet mounted to my yolk with Velcro as the tablets are pretty light.
The 2 iPads I have mounted to various parts of the desk with these;
I also use Air Manager with the pop outs.
