Known indirect subclasses

AccountAuthenticatorActivity, Activity, ActivityGroup, AliasActivity, ExpandableListActivity, LauncherActivity, LayoutInflater.Factory2, ListActivity, NativeActivity, PreferenceActivity, TabActivity

AccountAuthenticatorActivity	This class was deprecated in API level 30. Applications should extend Activity themselves. This class is not compatible with AppCompat, and the functionality it provides is not complex.
Activity	An activity is a single, focused thing that the user can do.
ActivityGroup	This class was deprecated in API level 13. Use the new `Fragment` and `FragmentManager` APIs instead; these are also available on older platforms through the Android compatibility package.
AliasActivity	This class was deprecated in API level 30. Use `<activity-alias>` or subclass Activity directly.
ExpandableListActivity	This class was deprecated in API level 30. Use `RecyclerView` or use `ExpandableListView` directly
LauncherActivity	This class was deprecated in API level 30. Applications can implement this UI themselves using `RecyclerView` and `PackageManager.queryIntentActivities(Intent, int)`
LayoutInflater.Factory2
ListActivity	This class was deprecated in API level 30. Use `ListFragment` or `RecyclerView` to implement your Activity instead.
NativeActivity	Convenience for implementing an activity that will be implemented purely in native code.
PreferenceActivity	This class was deprecated in API level 29. Use the AndroidX Preference Library for consistent behavior across all devices. For more information on using the AndroidX Preference Library see Settings.
TabActivity	This class was deprecated in API level 13. New applications should use Fragments instead of this class; to continue to run on older devices, you can use the v4 support library which provides a version of the Fragment API that is compatible down to `Build.VERSION_CODES.DONUT`.

`context`	`Context`: The context the view is being created in. This value cannot be `null`.
`attrs`	`AttributeSet`: Inflation attributes as specified in XML file. This value cannot be `null`.
