Its possible. Use the Native Development Kit (NDK). See here for more discussion and links.

How easy is it? I don't know, I've never tried!

It's pretty easy! All you need to do is create your classes in C++, then use JNI to launch your Native code. One think to keep in mind, though, is that there is not a full STL implementation in Android, so you can't use things like std::vectors or std::strings. – CaseyB Apr 14 '10 at 18:20
Isn't Android used on Arm and on i386 processors? – stesch Apr 14 '10 at 20:47
Supported on ARM, MIPS, Power Architecture, and x86. – Andy Johnson Apr 15 '10 at 08:46
