The main difference between AppCompat View and Normal andorid view is AppCompat views support compatible features on older version of android and they are tint aware. Most of the AppCompat View allow dynamic tint and background tint.

When we use normal android view EditText and Button in our layout desing it will automatically use AppcompatEditText and AppCompatButton if we extend the activity from AppCompatActivity.

We should only need to manually use this class when writing any custom views.
