What is the correct way to get layout inflater in Android?

Question

There is a way to get layoutInflater:

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

and

Answer 1

Actually I think that the getLayoutInflater() - Method of Activity is a convenience - method.

Remember that Activity subclasses Context, so all of the Methods available within Context are also available in the Activity Class.

Internally there will be a call to LayoutInflater.fromContext() or context.getSystemService(), so I would stick to context.getSystemService both to avoid the unnecessary method call as well to clarify that I am making a call to a system service.
