A View Group is a subclass of the View class. It is a container that holds views such as ImageView, TextView, etc. Layouts are View Groups that are defined either by an xml file, or programmatically.

Layout is a xml file (or programmatically created) that encompasses multiple views to create a UI.

View Group is what you use to create your layout such as LinearLayout, RelativeLayout ConstraintLayout etc. These hold child views and their positions
