Can you please share how to use this extension, or probably shed more light on the view injected into the method.

yes, can you show me this extension usage?

Common use of a ViewStub

viewStub.setLayoutResource(layoutId)
viewStub.inflate()

If you wanna set a new layout resource, you have to deflate your viewStub first

viewStub = viewStub.deflate()
viewStub.setLayoutResource(newLayoutId)
viewStub.inflate()

Thanks a lot man @sbelloz

Does this work ? Its not working for me, I have viewstub inside SwipeRefreshLayout , I want to change the viewstub layout content on refresh but its showing nothing
