Do we have to make new on Static class

Question

While going through the documentation, i read some where that ViewHolder is a static class, but does it require to make new on static class? In that example they have done new on it?, but according to the concept new should not be done on static class right?

Answer 1

You can only construct classes four ways:

1. Using "new"
2. Using using Class.newInstance
3. Using a method / factory that internally uses new to create a new instance
4. Using object.clone, if it is supported

1 and 3 are by far the most used
