Is there a real difference (other than terminology) between a widget and a view? Which is the one I can put into my app just like a standard SeekBar or a Button?

A View is an object that you can put on your layout such as a TextView, EditText, ListView, or ImageView. It is the basic building block for user interface components.

A widget is a group of ViewGroups and Views that you can put on the users home screen or in another application.
