Android Documentation

[Eric_the_Red]

When I was first starting to learn Java, I read the Javadocs like crazy. I found them to be very helpful. I am just starting to get into Android development, and I understand much of the back end is Java. But is there similar documentation for the UI components that are exclusive to Android? I'd like to start reading the documentation, but I'm having trouble finding it. The immediate goal is to find the inheritance path for a few components so I can read the source in order to pick them apart. I'm admittedly in a Google-fu slump at the moment. Any help would be appreciated.

Do you mean something like this https://developer.android.com/training/index.html?

Thanks for the reply! No, I mean something more along the lines of this: https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/
Dry reading, to be sure, but definitely helpful when you are looking for the way specific classes work.

Oh, it looks like it is on the same domain though: https://developer.android.com/reference/packages.html
I think this is what I'm looking for!

Also look at the sample applications in Android Studio. They cover most of the basic UI components. You can learn a lot from looking at this code.
