The official language for Android development is Java. Large parts of Android are written in Java and its APIs are designed to be called primarily from Java. It is possible to develop C and C++ app using the Android Native Development Kit (NDK), however it isn't something that Google promotes.
The kernel is written in the C programming language [c-language]. More precisely, the kernel is typically compiled with gcc [gcc] under -std=gnu11 [gcc-c-dialect-options]: the GNU dialect of ISO C11. clang [clang] is also supported, see docs on Building Linux with Clang/LLVM.
Android is an OS based on Linux kernel which is written in Java and C++ language.
Most of the operating systems are written in the C/C++ languages. These not only include Windows or Linux (the Linux kernel is almost entirely written in C), but also Google Chrome OS, RIM Blackberry OS 4.
Android is built on top of Linux, and a large portion of it is written in C. There are swaths of code written in C++ though. Also, most of the application framework (the stuff you would call android, and almost everything you see on screen) is written in Java.
