What is the difference between setX and setTranslationX

Question

What is the difference between setX and setTranslationX on a view? They seem to be the same for me yet they exist both on the android platform.

Thanks

Answer 1

From the docs for setX():

Sets the visual x position of this view, in pixels. This is equivalent to setting the translationX property to be the difference between the x value passed in and the current left property.

Answer 2

setTranlsationX() as a relative offset and setX() is a fixed position.
