Explains how Android actually composes UI by walking the view tree with measure/layout/draw and shows Device Monitor screenshots and code-level examples. Claims SmartNews supports Android 2.2 and the app family reaches about 15 million installs. Describes a custom page‑flip built with FrameLayout plus per-child clipping, overrides measure to reflow children (works and speeds rendering), and practical optimizations: requestLayout avoidance, cached measure results and using setLayerType for smoother animations.
