Why is it util to use SurfaceView instead of View is SurfaceView if its a lower class? and once we are in SurfaceView why do we have to use the getHolder() and add a CallBack? Why do we have to use SurfaceDestroyed, SurfaceChanged and SurfaceCreated?

Please don't pass me the android link because is hard to understand it from there.

to extend SurfaceView in a class instead of View* Example: public class MyClass extends SurfaceView{} – user3097434 Dec 23 '13 at 02:10
You can edit your question. You don't need to add code into a comment, where it is much harder to read. – Chris Hayes Dec 23 '13 at 02:18
