"An android wouldn't be capable of true emotion, and would only duplicate it"
That's essentially what human brains do too. A human brain isn't much different from an extremely advanced computer, taking a list of variables then making a response based on that. It may not be fully understood, but it's ultimately mechanical in the way it operates. There's no reason that, in the future, sufficiently advanced technology won't be able to exactly recreate the processes of the brain. The only difference between the brain and this hypothetical future computer is that the brain is made of organic material. The only reason a human would disagree with the reality of what an artificial brain is feeling is because they want to feel special, even when there's no reason for them to. And if you don't think androids feel anything, then you could tell one to their face.
And it would be easy for an android to fake emotions. In humans, sociopaths and psychopaths are literally incapable of some emotions. They don't feel love/believe it exists, they feel no regret, remorse or empathy. But they're capable of faking these emotions. You've probably met a few sociopaths in your life who you believed were regular people. So androids can be capable of this too. You can't programme something to "feel", but you can programme something to fake these feelings by expressing them verbally or thought body language.
But the human brain isn't a computer. It's more imaginative, and each one process information slightly differently. Some of them are angrier than others, some are more romantic, androids have artificial emotions. We create ours naturally as the brain is like a natural computer. Androids can duplicate what they've been told to do/learn
Would you have a relationship with an android?

If the human thought process was as straight forward as computers, there'd be no need for the psychology. The problems would all be "technical.."
