How to use View Stub in android

Question

I want to use ViewStub in android, so please help me. I have created ``` ViewStub stub = new ViewStub; View inflated = stub.inflate(); ``` How to use it programmatically?

Accepted Answer

Like the documentation says, `ViewStub` is a `View` that is inflated lazily.

You can declare a `ViewStub` in an XML file like this:

```
 <ViewStub android:id="@+id/stub"
           android:inflatedId="@+id/subTree"
           android:layout="@layout/mySubTree"
           android:layout_width="120dip"
           android:layout_height="40dip" />
```

The `android:layout` attribute is a reference to the `View` that will be inflated next to a call of `inflate()`. So

```
ViewStub stub = (ViewStub) findViewById(R.id.stub);
View inflated = stub.inflate();
```

When the method `inflate()` is invoked the `ViewStub` is removed from its parent and replaced with the right `View` (the root view of `mySubTree` layout).

If you want to do this progammatically then your code should be something like:

```
ViewStub stub = new ViewStub(this);
stub.setLayoutResource(R.layout.mySubTree);
stub.inflate(); 
```
