I'm answering this question 2 years down the line and I must stress that I did have pretty much the same problem as you did. However I'm so happy that Android has evolved into what it is today.
Having said that, I do regret that I did not learn C/C++ while I could have and I don't want to blame my teachers for it cos where was my brain when the time was right?
I'm sunk in Java today and I'm glad that I did not make the mistake of learning too many languages and being less productive... However I did learn HTML5 which really made things a lot easier, maybe someday, I might get motivated to learn C/C++ . Or if I get an Apple mac at a real throw-away price, I might learn Objective-C :)
