It is not misleading. It is following the same JavaDocs structure that has been used for a decade-plus for Java development. It is understood by hundreds of thousands of Java developers, including tens of thousands of Android developers. > View() is shown as a > public method in teh android documentation. No, it is not.

It would appear that you do not understand Java programming. I suggest that you spend time, outside of Android, learning Java programming, before returning to Android development. Here is a blog post of mine from a ways back outlining the key Java language bits that an Android developer would need to be comfortable with: http://commonsware.com/blog/2010/08/02/java-good-parts-version.html > ( super(context) passes the compiler but then crashes out at run > time.
