Is declaring an inner class in a View dangerous?

I've read the official Android technical article: "how to avoid memory leaks ?". They say that creating inner classes in an Activity class is dangerous, but what about creating inner class inside a View class : is the leak danger the same or worse ?

If you create classes with lifecycle not more than view - it's OK. Otherwise you should avoid doing this.

If you use such structure - be sure, that you do not have any links on instances of inner class, when view is not necessary. Then GC will collect everything, and there will not memory leaks.
