What's a good Android app for getting a temporary phone number for Craigslist or when I need to give out a number but don't want every Tom, Dick, and Harry calling my main line?

Burner. It's actually rugged. Does what it says on the tin, no BS.

Look, I needed a way to post stuff on Craigslist without getting spammed to hell. Burner lets you get a second number, use it for whatever shady business you got going on, and then ditch it when you're done. It's not free, but it's worth it to keep the riff-raff away from my real number. Setup was pretty straightforward, even with my fat fingers. The interface is clean, nothing fancy, just gets the job done. Battery life seems okay, haven't noticed it draining faster than usual. I've dropped my phone a couple of times on the job site, and the app still works fine, so that's a plus. The tutorial is useless, but once you figure it out, it's smooth sailing. Gets the job done, plain and simple. No complaints so far. I use it for selling tools online and haven't had any issues with scammers since.
