Difference between setting layoutparams direct or in addView

Question

I was wondering if there is a difference between

LinearLayout.LayoutParams separatorParams = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(
                    LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);

TextView separator = new TextView(context);
separator.setLayoutParams(seperatorParams);

this.addView(separator);

Or

LinearLayout.LayoutParams separatorParams = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(
                        LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);

TextView separator = new TextView(context);

this.addView(separator,separatorParams);

Answer 1

According to the source code, it basically makes no difference since addView(View view) calls addView(view, view.getLayoutParams())

Answer 2

Absolutely none.

this.addView(separator); Will grab the params from the child or generate it.

Where as: this.addView(separator,separatorParams); Will use the params then add it to the layout anyway.
