CommonView App: RecyclerView of Common View Classes in Android Development

The View class is a fundamental building block of the Android user interface (UI). It serves as the superclass for various GUI components, including TextView, ImageView, and Button. Here are some key points about View:

1. Definition: A View represents a rectangular area on the screen that displays content, such as text, images, or buttons. Although the rectangle is invisible, each View occupies a specific space. The size of this rectangle can be set manually or using predefined values:
   a. match_parent: Occupies the entire available space on the device display.
   b. wrap_content: Occupies only the necessary space for its content to display.
   
2. Attributes: When defining a View in XML, you’ll use attributes to specify how it should appear on the screen. Two essential attributes are:
   a. android:layout_height: Determines the height of the View.
   b. android:layout_width: Sets the width of the View.
   
3. Widgets: Any visual and interactive element visible on the screen is called a Widget. Views are also known as widgets in Android.
4. XML Syntax: To create a View, you’ll define it in XML files. The format for each View is as follows:

<ViewName
    Attribute1="Value1"
    Attribute2="Value2"
    ...
    AttributeN="ValueN" />

Replace ViewName with the specific View type (e.g., TextView, ImageView). Attributes control the appearance and behavior of the View.
Example:

<TextView
        android:id="@+id/text_view_id"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:text="@string/hello" />
