Q. I would like to know how to MAKE Android games. Every time I ask, I get answers to game downloads and app makers that can't make games. I just want to know what I can use to make my own games. Thank you.
A. first off, the ? poster is totally wrong. Android uses java, not C++.
Second, look into the videos at ThNewBoston. They have 200 android video tutorials from setting up the program to write app and finishes with publishing the app. Not every video deals with games, but it'd be best to watch them all to learn.

How do you create rich user interfaces on Android? For example like the Facebook and Twitter apps have?
Q. I can only find tutorials to create basic user interfaces with simple list views, text boxes and buttons. I can only assume the Facebook and Twitter app use web views with HTML/CSS to create theirs?
A. As a starting point, see this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M1ZBjlCRfz0
and read this article: http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2010/05/twitter-for-android-closer-look-at.html
Both are about Android UI patterns and both use the official Twitter app as an example. I don't think that app uses web views; it looks like it's mostly list views. I can't be sure without seeing the source code though (which I don't think they ever ended up releasing like they had planned).
You could check out the source code of the stock Android apps (Music Player, Email, Gallery, etc.) that come with the emulator to see how they do things. http://source.android.com/source/download.html
There are a lot of tutorials at http://developer.android.com
You could also use a visual program like Droid Draw http://www.droiddraw.org/
These visual layout programs still aren't the best, but they help in the beginning to see how XML layouts work and you can use the code generated to get you started.
