I wrote a couple of test android apps in scala and was very pleased with the results. Scala is a huge improvement on java but gives you nearly the same execution speed which is particularly important on devices with limited CPU and RAM. There's a plugin for sbt (a scala build tool) that will assemble your .apk and upload it to the emulator or a device.

I remember reading somewhere on Stack Overflow that Scala development on Android was less than optimal. Do you know if the situation has changed at all?

Thanks for the links. It looks like scala is the most viable option currently, but a few others exist as well. I will probably doodle in scala later this week and see what I can make of it.
