I have to agree with Justin. It makes no sense to try to use Android with anything else. By design, the SDK supports Java and supports it well. Trying to use any other language would be like trying to empty the ocean with a micropipette.
Since you already know C++, you already know most of the ideas about how to support OOP/OOD in a programming language; the support in Java can largely be described as a subset and simplification of the C++ way of supporting OOP/OOD. So, for example, C++ has multiple inheritance and 'friend' classes; Java has neither, but it has the most interesting, useful and safe instance of multiptle inheritance, the 'interface'. The Java tutorials on http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/ are quite good. Do the Trails under "Covering the Basics" and you will have a good enough graps of Java to make good progress with the Android SDK. Even just the first 4 are a good start. But trying to use Android with less experience than that is bound to be too frustrating. NB: lost of experience Java programmers recommend running the tutorials w/o an IDE, using just the JDK and the text editor of your choice (e.g. emacs). I can't claim that experience for myself, but I concur, as long as the editor you choose is capable of syntax-based text coloring.
