Java is the language of the platform for the foreseeable future. You might want to check out something like Kotlin (great language which compiles to java bytecode) but IMO there is little reason to invest in Dart for Android right now. It is heralded by the Dart team, entirely independently from the Android team. AFAIK, they are just shopping for a problem to solve with Dart now that they are not going to be able to ship their VM with Chrome.

You might be referring to Flutter, which is a project of Chrome, started independently from Dart, and who's purpose is to make the core of Chrome better for app development, not find a purpose for Dart. Flutter started with JS as the scripting language. The Dart team is certainly lending a lot of support to Flutter, because of the promise of a compelling mobile story for Dart.
