What is the difference between calling LayoutInflater directly and not?

Question

I went through some tutorials, and in the Android Doc, it says not to access LayoutInflater directly when instantiating it. Example from the google Doc:

LayoutIn         


        

Answer 1

LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater)context.getSystemService
  (Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);

You are getting LayoutInflater Service Provider from System Manager

LayoutInflater inflater = LayoutInflater.from(parent.getContext());

You are using static method from LayoutInflater Class

I would say that difference is only in code and how you write this also calling stack but result is same - you will get LayoutInflater.
