PhoneWindow has 2 important parameters DecorView and ViewGroup .

private DecorView mDecor;

ViewGroup mContentParent;

DecorView is the inner class of PhoneWindow and is the root container in the View

hierarchy for an Activity . DecorView extends FrameLayout .

For example: A DecorView contains a window background that can be drawn, and
calling the getWindow().setBackgroundDrawable(Drawable drawable) method from your
Activity changes the window’s background.

mContentParent stores the View in which the contents of the window are placed.
Those are essentially the root container for the UI elements that we add to our
Activity.
