I was asking myself the same question. Doing a searches on Google, I found some good info. First of all you should start by reading the documentation presented by Google Android:

http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/custom-components.html

After that, for general tutorials of a view that extends the android.view.View class, these seem to be good examples:

As for using the android.view.ViewGroup, there seems to be already some posts on the subject:

I think this better addresses the issues of creating a totally custom view versus just creating sub-views or extending another view. — Elliott, Jun 22 '12 at 14:12
