Why do we need to call setContentView() in onCreate() of Activity class?

[@pietroroberto6114]

The actual answer is: we don't... we had to when we were using Android legacy Views, but now we have jetpack Compose and we call setContent() instead. The rest of the answer is still true: we have to call setContentView() or setContent() in onCreate() method of Activity to have it called once and once only.
