I'll ignore the unqualified claim that the slowness of Android is due to Java.
It sounds like your complaint is that you can't develop native apps in your preferred language and that you're using an outdated claim about Java to support your desire to change the current language of choice for Android development. The XML based components can all be done via code. Do you have an example of how they are "far from flexible"? There are many limitations, but you are welcome to write your own custom Views to get around any limitations. I have many of my own complaints about some of the UI system, but I have no reason to believe the current state of things would be faster or more flexible if it were in another language. That's not the thing limiting flexibility or causing speed issues, that's more about the implementations. I've created and seen many fast and fluid and complex UIs on Android, but you sometimes have to do some real work to get them and they don't always drop right out of the API in your lap :) A better argument would be to single out issues with the UI libraries and talk about how to improve them. This has little-to-nothing to do with implementation language.
