ViewStub

public final class ViewStub extends View
A ViewStub is an invisible, zero-sized View that can be used to lazily inflate layout resources at runtime. When a ViewStub is made visible, or when {@link #inflate()} is invoked, the layout resource is inflated. The ViewStub then replaces itself in its parent with the inflated View or Views. Therefore, the ViewStub exists in the view hierarchy until {@link #setVisibility(int)} or {@link #inflate()} is invoked. The inflated View is added to the ViewStub's parent with the ViewStub's layout parameters. Similarly, you can define/override the inflate View's id by using the ViewStub's inflatedId property. For instance:
<ViewStub android:id="@+id/stub"
android:inflatedId="@+id/subTree"
android:layout="@layout/mySubTree"
android:layout_width="120dip"
android:layout_height="40dip" />
The ViewStub thus defined can be found using the id "stub." After inflation of the layout resource "mySubTree," the ViewStub is removed from its parent. The View created by inflating the layout resource "mySubTree" can be found using the id "subTree," specified by the inflatedId property. The inflated View is finally assigned a width of 120dip and a height of 40dip. The preferred way to perform the inflation of the layout resource is the following:
ViewStub stub = (ViewStub) findViewById(R.id.stub);
View inflated = stub.inflate();
When {@link #inflate()} is invoked, the ViewStub is replaced by the inflated View and the inflated View is returned. This lets applications get a reference to the inflated View without executing an extra findViewById().

public intgetInflatedId()
Returns the id taken by the inflated view. If the inflated id is {@link View#NO_ID}, the inflated view keeps its original id.

return
A positive integer used to identify the inflated view or {@link #NO_ID} if the inflated view should keep its id.

public intgetLayoutResource()
Returns the layout resource that will be used by {@link #setVisibility(int)} or {@link #inflate()} to replace this StubbedView in its parent by another view.

return
The layout resource identifier used to inflate the new View.

Inflates the layout resource identified by {@link #getLayoutResource()} and replaces this StubbedView in its parent by the inflated layout resource.

return
The inflated layout resource.
