36 PointsWhy do you pass View in startDailyActivity() method?
Ben shows in the video that View object view is passed to startDailyActivity() method. But this View object is not used within the method (or at least I don't see it). Why do you do that?

36 PointsI know Overriden onClick() needs View as an argument but startDailyActivity() isn't. Does startDailyActivity() needs View object passed because it is actually playing a role of onClick()?
