Difference between "@+id/android:list" & "

I have a basic question:
What's the difference between

Syntax: [ Download ] [ Hide ]

Using xml Syntax Highlighting

<ListView id="@+id/android:list"
Parsed in 0.000 seconds,  using GeSHi 1.0.8.4

(in Notepadv2 tutorial)

and

Syntax: [ Download ] [ Hide ]

Using xml Syntax Highlighting

<ListView id="@android:id/list"
Parsed in 0.000 seconds,  using GeSHi 1.0.8.4

(in ApiDemos/View/List7)

or are they identical?
and when should we use each...

Hello Anil,

I'd prefer the second one ( id="@android:id/list" ) because it shows clearer that you are referring to an Android-built-in ID and not creating on at that point. (Remember "@" means 'relative' and "+" means 'add ID')
