Android View setPadding() vs setPaddingRelative()

Question

Based on the Android document which doesn't give much explanation, what's the difference between setPadding() vs setPaddingRelative()?

Answer 1

setPaddingRelative has this code inside:

switch(getResolvedLayoutDirection()) {         case LAYOUT_DIRECTION_RTL:             setPadding(end, top, start, bottom);             break;         case LAYOUT_DIRECTION_LTR:         default:             setPadding(start, top, end, bottom); } 

So when you set padding with setPaddingRelative it changes left and right padding values depending on user's layout direction.
