If you want to build native android apps then you need to know two languages namely Java and Xml. ->Java for backend. -> XML for frontend or to build layout for each activity(screen). But if you do not want to go for native android then you can surely build android apps using many other technologies such as cross platform app development (cordova), xamarin etc which obviously use other programming languages. Cordova uses javascript, css and html. I hope this helps.
