C++ for Android?

[DeadEli]

I heard that Android now supports applications written in c++. I also heard that they don't want you to write full programs in c++, but I don't know why. Is this true? Also, how would I go about writing applications for the Android? Is there a special IDE that I should use? Any advice would be helpful. Thanks.

Mostly Java, but you can use C++ if your application requires extreme performance. Read and draw your own conclusions.
