The view provided in setContentView() is only that, the content part of the activity. The system creates the top-level view along with any optional chrome (titlebar/actionbar) and a top-level FrameLayout within which the content view you set is displayed.
If you don't call setContentView(), you will see the title-bar (optional) and the empty top-level FrameLayout. These details may change with Android versions though. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
