Android Question What does view: CustomView

[MarcRB]

Hi can anybody tell me what does CustomView and where is it used for.

After reading this it wasn't clear enough for me:

Adding the custom views with the designer is simpler and allows the developer to build and maintain the complete UI with the visual designer and designer script.

Custom views with designer support can be implemented as a class or inside a library.

Is Custom view a kind of container (like containercontrol in Xojo) to create your own views based on existing views and/or having some canvas drawingfeatures in it?
Or to create a group of views as part of a window that can be positioned as complete group.
Or else.....

Best regards,
Marc

You can developp classes as CustomViews.
These can be used in the Designer.
Look at chapter 11.6 Display a custom view in the Designer in the User's Guide.
