What do you mean it's more than you can say? Android's system is precisely the same. To build an Activity you set up and extend Views using the ViewGroup function 'addview'
No, there are methods and settings that can be set via code that cannot be set via the XML, and vice-versa - I'm not talking about mixing them together. Yes, they are the same classes. No, they are not created and instantiated and configured in exactly the same fashion; there are occasionally differences.
