     40 The Android framework has a large set of {@link android.view.View} classes for
     41 interacting with the user and displaying various
     42 types of data. But
     43 sometimes your app has unique needs that arent covered by the built-in views. This class shows you
     44 how to create your
     45 own views that are robust and reusable.</p>
