How to inflate ViewStub from fragment

Question

I'm unable to inflate the ViewStub from a fragment. When I tried to inflate it from an Activity it works fine.

Here's my code: Dashboard.java

    @Override
    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
                             Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        // Inflate the layout for this fragment
        View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_dashboard, container, false);
        infographics = view.findViewById(R.id.infographicStub);
        infographics.setLayoutResource(R.layout.dashboard_infographics);
        infographics.inflate();
        infographics.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
        return view;

fragment_dashboard.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:id="@+id/dashboardLayout"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:background="@color/colorPrimary"
    android:paddingTop="20dp"
    tools:context=".dashboard.fragments.Dashboard">

    <ViewStub
        android:id="@+id/infographicStub"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:inflatedId="@+id/subTree"
        android:layout="@layout/dashboard_infographics"
        app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent" />

    <LinearLayout
        android:id="@+id/lightContainer"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:background="@drawable/style_light_container"
        android:backgroundTint="@color/colorSecondary"
        android:orientation="vertical"
        app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="@+id/infographicStub">

        <include layout="@layout/dashboard_wallet_option" />

    </LinearLayout>


</androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Thanks in advance

No need `infographics.setLayoutResource(R.layout.dashboard_infographics);` You already added in xml — IntelliJ Amiya, Jun 01 '20 at 08:19
@IntelliJAmiya Thanks for help! when I give 0dp to width I can see that LinearLayout and ViewStub are overlapping eachother. Solved the overlapping issue with a help of another thread — Vaibhav Gupta, Jun 01 '20 at 09:12

As mentioned by @IntelliJ Amiya in the comment section.

<ViewStub android:id="@+id/infographicStub"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:inflatedId="@+id/infographicStub"
android:layout="@layout/dashboard_infographics"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent" />

This code will show the viewStub content but in my case it was overlapping so using another thread I resolved it. https://stackoverflow.com/a/17215221/10386411
