Right. Key difference being that with CustomActivity, you can only extend
one Activity. So if you app has a map, for example, you HAVE to extend
MapActivity and can't use CustomActivity anymore. But you can use this proxy
idea in your CustomMapActivity, or whatever you call it. This is why I've
found it useful in Android, as I use ExpandableListActivit, ListActivity,
PreferenceActivity, and MapActivity (and probably will use others at some
point).

Also, mentally replace all the "->" with "." in the pseudo code. I think
I subconsciously miss C++ =P
