AlertDialog.Builder.show() vs AlertDialog.show() in Android

What is the main difference between creating an AlertDialog and then showing and showing the AlertDialog.Builder itself?

For example. I can have a AlertDialog.Builder like this:

 AlertDialog.Builder dialogBuilder = new AlertDialog.Builder(context);
   dialogBuilder.setTitle("title");
   dialogBuilder.setMessage("message");
   dialogBuilder.setPositiveButton("OK", null);

And I can show it in two ways:

Just showing the builder

dialogBuilder.show();

or create an AlertDialog from the builder and then show it

AlertDialog dialog = dialogBuilder.create();
dialog.show();

Both does the same thing internally

dialogBuilder.show() this will create a dialog and call show() on the dialog as below

public AlertDialog show() {
        final AlertDialog dialog = create();
        dialog.show();
        return dialog;
    }

whereas dialog.show() directly invokes show() method of dialog since dialog is already created

obj.create()-For create Dialog

obj.show()-For show Dialog <- without it you cant show dialog if you created.

and

obj.create().show()-create and show Dialog i mean both same as above two in one statement.

and you can also reffer android.com/guide/topics/ui/dialogs
