How to create project which extends view interface of Android?

I like to implement Mandelbrot fractal application for learning Android. I have seen some example, In which the application extends "android.view.View" interface.( not "android.app.Activity" interface). In eclipse, with Android 3.2, How can I create a project which extends "android.view.View" interface?

See this. Color gradient for Mandelbrot Android application doesn't work

thank you, Regards, Robo

It is not possible. View corresponds to GUI element like button or text field. Activity is a part of application that is responsible for displaying a GUI and managing its lifecycle. You can visit the Developer Guide for further explanation.

In the example you provided the View was definitely a part of layout of some Activity.

By the way, Activity and View aren't interfaces, the are classes. The interface word has a special meaning in Java: it is a declaration of operations that can be performed on the object that implements the interface but the actual implementation should be provided by the class of the object
