Android programming m before objects

Question

I am new in Android programming, and I saw there is a "m" before objects, like:

mCursor

mAdpter

mView

So what is this "m"? Should I use it in my code?

Sorry for this poor question...

Have a look at this question: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2092098/why-most-of-android-tutorials-variables-start-with-m — Bono, Sep 26 '14 at 23:41

And what about local variables (inside methods), prameters of methods, and arrays or lists? – User Sep 27 '14 at 00:40

My opinion, those fall under point 3. – Peter Pei Guo Sep 27 '14 at 00:42
