What is the root view exactly given an example?

I researched the term of View and found that the definition to be "topmost view in the current view hierarchy. http://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View.html#getRootView%28%29

I know that view itself means components of an user interface(source: same link) and can be buttons. Say I have this hierarchy Link: http://imgur.com/YIVKNO5

By the definition at the top, would the topmost view be the image view(which is at the top of the screen) or the relative layout(that contains everything)

RootView is the View that contains the other views. This means that, in your case, the Relative Layout is the Root View.
