No. If you want native look-and-feel, you'll need to download and install third party libraries, e.g. for Material Design. However, those third party libraries are implemented in 100% JavaScript and do not utilise the native Android components (rather just rebasing off MDL [1]), which will just end up making your app "feel like a clunky web browser", particularly when debugging or rendering lots of those components to screen.
