Does Android support the rendering of HTML/CSS/Javascript natively?
 
The answer is, yes. WebView is a native way for Android applications to render webpages within Activities. This is done through the WebKit rendering engine built into Android that displays HTML and CSS as if the designated Activity is a web browsers. As is mentioned in the article linked below, 'a WebView provides no browser-like widgets, does not enable JavaScript and web page errors are ignored'.
