To add subtitle to a playing movie on Android, you just need to make sure, both video file and subtitle file are at the same directory, with the same file name (of course with different extension), and then enjoy watching the video with subtitle (On some video players, like the default Samsung Galaxy video player or MX Player, you can select the subtitle file, regardless of its location and name)
