   For a college assignment I need to know two things:
   
   What language is the Android OS written in?
   
   AND
   
   What software is used to create the Android OS?
   
   Please can anyone help me with this?

   Android is built upon a Linux kernel. Some of the system is developed in C/C++ and the rest in Java.
   
   To develop apps for the platform you use Java. You can use C++ as well, but if you are stuck i wouldn't hope much for help, because the vast majority is using Java.
   
   Here is good architecture overview: Videos | Android Developers
