Android—View与ViewGroup的区别

           Android View和ViewGroup从组成架构上看，似乎ViewGroup在View之上，View需要继承ViewGroup，但实际上不是这样的。View是基类，ViewGroup是它的子类。这就证明了一点，View代表了用户界面组件的一块可绘制的空间块。每一个View在屏幕上占据一个长方形区域。在这个区域内，这个VIEW对象负责图形绘制和事件处理。View是小控件widgets和ViewGroup的父类。ViewGroup又是Layout的基类。

从官方的API中看到下面的文字，所以很显然，ViewGroup是View的子类

public abstract class ViewGroup
   
   
    
    extends 
    
    View
   
   
   
   
    
    implements 
    
    ViewParent, 
    
    ViewManager
   
   

A ViewGroup is a special view that can contain other views (called children.) The view group is the base class for layouts and views containers. This class also defines theViewGroup.LayoutParams class which serves as the base class for layouts parameters.

Also see ViewGroup.LayoutParams for layout attributes.
