The difference between Delphi/Lazarus and Android is that in the former 
there still exists a GUI class (descendant of TForm, TFrame, etc.) 
containing all available controls that needs to be instantiated. In case 
of Android you simply pass the ID of the layout to the containing 
"control" (the activity or e.g. the listview) and it instantiates all 
controls itself.
