Answer from AI

The lifecycle of a View in Android includes several key stages:

  1. Creation (Initialization) — The View is created, usually via XML layout or programmatically.
  2. Measurement (Measure) — The system calls the onMeasure() method to determine the size of the View considering parent constraints.
  3. Layout (Layout) — The onLayout() method is called, where the View receives coordinates for placement within the parent.
  4. Drawing (Draw) — The onDraw() method is called, where the View's content is rendered on the screen.
  5. Event Handling — The View can handle user events, such as touches.

These stages repeat when the interface state changes, for example, when sizes change or data is updated.
