/**
 * <p>
 * Should be used on {@link android.view.View} classes to enable usage of
 * AndroidAnnotations.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * Your code related to injected beans should go in an {@link AfterInject}
 * annotated method.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * Any view related code should happen in an {@link AfterViews} annotated
 * method.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * If the class is abstract, the enhanced view will not be generated. Otherwise,
 * it will be generated as a final class. You can use AndroidAnnotations to
 * create Abstract classes that handle common code.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * The annotation value should be one of R.layout.* fields. If not set, no
 * content view will be set, and you should inflate the layout yourself by
 * calling View.inflate() method
 * </p>

 * Example :
 *

 * @EViewGroup(R.layout.component)

 * 
 * 	@AfterViews
