What makes Android GUI framework

Java is used to bring up gui components like View and Widgets. Official site say they dont include AWT/Swing as a part of their java bundle, then what implementation (native-wrapper if any?) they have in place? Also is it possible to create user interface from scratch for android apps without extending any View class?

It's a custom UI toolkit unrelated to AWT or Swing.

You can create custom subclasses of the View class to draw whatever custom components you would like, but most of the time you can set attributes on the existing components to change the way they're drawn (like setting the drawables for a button).
