Is it must to learn java for android

I'd say that Java is most certainly the easiest way to get started with, create, and deploy apps. I have deployed three apps to the market so far and have 23K+ installs.

If you know any other programming language reasonably well, then you will easily pick up Java.

Though, I did watch an Android keynote where they were making it easier for C and C++ game programmers to port their code natively within the framework because of the languages' greater performance. Found it: Google I/O 2011: Bringing C and C++ Games to Android - YouTube

And here's the official Android NDK for programming in C or C++: Android NDK | Android Developers

I hope this is helpful.
