You should look at MoSync too  MoSync gives you standard C C    easy-to-use well-documented APIs  and a full-featured Eclipse-based IDE   Its now a open sourced IDE still pretty cool but not maintained anymore

Yes  you can program Android apps in C    for the most part   using the Native Development Kit  NDK   although Java is the primary preferred language for programming Android  and your C   code will likely have to interface with Java components  and you ll likely need to read and understand the documentation for Java components  as well  Therefore  I d advise you to use Java unless you have some existing C   code base that you need to port and that isn t practical to rewrite in Java   Java is very similar to C    I don t think you will have any problems picking it up    going from C   to Java is incredibly easy  going from Java to C   is a little more difficult  though not terrible  Java for C   Programmers does a pretty good job at explaining the differences  Writing your Android code in Java will be more idiomatic and will also make the development process easier for you  as the tooling for the Java Android SDK is significantly better than the corresponding NDK tooling   In terms of setup  Google provides the Android Studio IDE for both Java and C   Android development  with Gradle as the build system   but you are free to use whatever IDE or build system you want so long as  under the hood  you are using the Android SDK   NDK to produce the final outputs

You can use the Android NDK  but answers should note that the Android NDK app is not free to use and there s no clear open source route to programming Android on Android in an increasingly Android-driven market that began as open source  with Android developer support or the extensiveness of the NDK app  meaning you re looking at abandoning Android as any kind of first steps programming platform without payments  Note  I consider subscription requests as payments under duress and this is a freemium context which continues to go undefeated by the open source community

You should use Android NDK to develop performance-critical portions of your apps in native code  See Android NDK   Anyway i don t think it is the right way to develop an entire application

PLEASE NOTE  THE ANSWER BELOW IS HORRIBLY OUTDATED  AND MIGHT NOT BE ENTIRELY CORRECT ANYMORE   You can program in C C   using the Android NDK  You ll have to wrap your c   codebase in a static library and load that through a Java wrapper  amp  JNI    The standard NDK does not support RTTI and a lot of the functionality of standard c   is also not available such as std  string  etc  To solve this you can recompile the NDK  Dmitry Moskalchuk supplies a modified version of the NDK that supports this at http   www crystax net android ndk-r3 php  This modified version works on all Android phones that run on an ARM processor   Depending on the kind of application you should decide to use Java or C C    I d use C C   for anything that requires above average computational power and games -- Java for the rest    Just pick one language and write the majority of your application in that language  JNI calls can decrease your performance by a lot  Java isn t that hard though -- if you know how to program in C C    The advantage of Java is that the application can run on any device running Android  where as NDK applications depend on the architecture it was compiled for

You can take a look also at C   Builder XE6  and XE7 supports android in c   code  and with Firemonkey library   http   www embarcadero com products cbuilder  Pretty easy way to start  and native code  But the binaries have a big size
