class - Define "Indirect subclass" in Android -

looking @ various pages in android docs, of them list "known indirect subclasses". mean?

for interface, it's list of classes implement interface.

for class, it's list of classes derive class, indirectly (ie., class in list derived class derives class being documented directly or indirectly).

so android.view.viewgroup derives directly android.view.view , indirectly java.lang.object:

java.lang.object     android.view.view         android.view.viewgroup 

since interfaces can implemented, not directly derived from, class implements interface considered 'indirectly derived' interface.
