Yeah writing java for Android is a pretty awful experience. But it's not going away soon - this Go release will only have access to the things you can already do in C++ on Android. Namely, OpenGL, audio, and touch input. That's about it.
Anything GUI or system-related you have to do in Java. You won't be able to use Go to run other apps, enable wifi, receive GPS locations, communicate over bluetooth, etc. etc.
Qt is worth a look, but it's still not quite ready.
