‫Welcome back in Android studio views and view groups are fundamental components of the user interface
‫in Android app development.
‫They are used to create visual elements of your app's user interface.
‫Let's start with the views.
‫A view is the basic building block of the Android UI.
‫It represents a single UI element, such as a button, text, field, image, or any other visual component
‫that the user can interact with.
‫Each of you is an instance of the subclass view class or one of its many subclasses, depending on the
‫type of the UI element you want to display.
‫Examples of a view subclasses include text view, button, image view, and more.
‫Views are responsible for rendering themselves and handling user interactions like clicks and touches.
‫A Viewgroup is a subclass of the view class that can contain other views or view groups.
‫It's used to arrange and organize multiple views into a structured layout.
‫View group elements define the structure and hierarchy of the user interface, such as the arrangement
‫of views within a layout.
‫Common examples of a view groups include linear layout, relative layout, constraint layout, frame
‫layout, and much more.
‫Each of these view groups has its own rules for arranging child views.
‫Let's take a look on the views class.
‫This is the view class.
‫It extends from the object and has many, many subclasses.
‫Some of them are views and some of them are view groups.
‫In the XML layout files used for defining the UI of Android applications, you can use both views and
‫view groups to create the overall structure of your user interface.
‫Views represent individual UI elements, while view groups help you organize and position those views
‫within your layout.
‫Understanding how to use both views and view groups and how they interact with each other is a crucial.
‫When designing the user interface for your Android application, it allows you to create a visually
‫appealing and interactive user experience for your Android applications users.
