I'm wondering if AbsListView and AbsSpinner were intended to be
extended by non-framework classes. As they are currently implemented
it is not possible to extend them do to necessary member fields being
at the package level and also various abstract methods being at the
package level. However, the documentation as it is currently written
leads one to believe that it is possible to extend and use these
classes to implement custom views.

This dissonance between the code and the documentation is confusing.
I'm going to assume that the main intention of these classes is
specified in the code and conclude that you cannot and should not
extend these classes.

I know it's more than likely not possible for the 2.x tree but are
there any future plans to overhaul these classes so that they will be
properly extendable?
