Sorry, but Android will *ONLY* support Java, and not allow C/C++ apps:
--------------------------
http://code.google.com/android/kb/general.html [google.com]
Q: Can I write code for Android using C/C++?
A: Android only supports applications written using the Java
programming language at this time.
--------------------------
Google has decided that developers cannot write powerful native binary
applications for Android phone! Currently I have written a number of
cross-platform high performance cryptographic applications using wx
GUI, but cannot be ported to Java, since the built-in Java binary
library crypto support does not include things like full blown CMS
(Cryptographic Message Syntax) support. And Java is too slow compared
to C/C++ for me to port my own crypto libraries to it, especially on
an limited embedded/phone platform.
