Important decisions to make are: 1) Is this just for Android or are you targeting more systems? 2) Do you need a performance component, like a real time puzzle solver or random puzzle game creator? 3) Do you want fancy graphics or is something really basic going to work?
If #1 = Only Android and #2 = No and #3 = No then consider going with this solution: A) All Java B) Mostly off-the-shelf Android UI Components C) Custom view for your gameboard (This is hard to escape from and is often easier than trying to build it all using android layouts and widgets) C1) Just use Canvas for your 2D lib and all will be easy and well.
