They have their custom renderer. Android is not using AWT or Swing. The full Android source code is available, so you can dig into it if you feel like it: https://android.googlesource.com (Information on how to download it locally is at http://source.android.com).
Basically, the entire graphics library is custom. Some concepts are similar to J2SE, but that’s about it.
