Difference between removing a view and setting it's visibility as GONE?

Question

What is the difference between removing a view from it's parent and setting it's visibility as GONE?

Answer 1

If you remove a view from the parent, its no longer in its list of children. You can then add it to any other ViewGroup. If you loop through the old paren't children it won't come up, and it won't be called when the ViewGroup does things like resize itself.

If you make it GONE, its still a child of the ViewGroup. It can't be added to another, because it can have only 1 parent. It will still be called for things like resizing of the view group.
