Question

i want to position a viewstub inside a viewgroup pogrammatically.
i tried using the setLayoutParams() method but its not available for viewstubs.
Please suggest any solution.

below is my code.

setContentView(R.layout.textplay);
bt = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button1);

bt.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

            @Override
            public void onClick(View arg0) {
                // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                panel = (ViewStub) findViewById(R.id.serachViewStub2);
                panel.inflate(getApplicationContext(), R.layout.half_screen,null);
                panel.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);      
                panel.setOnInflateListener(new OnInflateListener() {

                    @Override
                    public void onInflate(ViewStub arg0, View arg1) {
                        // TODO Auto-generated method stub

                        parentLayout = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.stubLayout1);
                        parentLayout.setLayoutParams(new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(0, 300));

            }
        });
                    }
        });

Answer 1

After you inflate the ViewStub, you can access the layout which the ViewStub is actually showing. Get a reference to the layout and setLayoutparameters on it.

ViewStub inflates my_layout.xml which contains a LinearLayout with id as mainContainer.
Once you inflate the viewstub, get a reference to the mainContainer and apply layout parameters on it.
