# Custom LifecycleManager

In this section we will see how we can use the `LifecycleManager` API to create custom containers for our backstack for different use cases. In this doc we will see two examples

* ViewPager
* Card Stack

You can find both examples in the [Sample app's custom feature.](https://github.com/roudikk/guia/tree/master/sample/feature-custom/src/main/java/com/roudikk/guia/sample/feature/custom)
