Class Overview

A view that shows items in a vertically scrolling two-level list. This differs from the ListView by allowing two levels: groups which can individually be expanded to show its children. The items come from the ExpandableListAdapter associated with this view.

Expandable lists are able to show an indicator beside each item to display the item's current state (the states are usually one of expanded group, collapsed group, child, or last child). Use setChildIndicator(Drawable) or setGroupIndicator(Drawable) (or the corresponding XML attributes) to set these indicators (see the docs for each method to see additional state that each Drawable can have). The default style for an ExpandableListView provides indicators which will be shown next to Views given to the ExpandableListView. The layouts android.R.layout.simple_expandable_list_item_1 and android.R.layout.simple_expandable_list_item_2 (which should be used with SimpleCursorTreeAdapter) contain the preferred position information for indicators.

The context menu information set by an ExpandableListView will be a ExpandableListView.ExpandableListContextMenuInfo object with packedPosition being a packed position that can be used with getPackedPositionType(long) and the other similar methods.

Note: You cannot use the value wrap_content for the android:layout_height attribute of a ExpandableListView in XML if the parent's size is also not strictly specified (for example, if the parent were ScrollView you could not specify wrap_content since it also can be any length. However, you can use wrap_content if the ExpandableListView parent has a specific size, such as 100 pixels.

Added in API level 1

Converts a flat list position (the raw position of an item (child or group) in the list) to a group and/or child position (represented in a packed position). This is useful in situations where the caller needs to use the underlying ListView's methods. Use getPackedPositionType(long) , getPackedPositionChild(long), getPackedPositionGroup(long) to unpack.

Parameters
flatListPosition The flat list position to be converted.
Returns
  • The group and/or child position for the given flat list position in packed position representation. #PACKED_POSITION_VALUE_NULL if the position corresponds to a header or a footer item.

Returns
  • The child position portion of the packed position. If this does not contain a child, returns -1.

public static long getPackedPositionForChild (int groupPosition, int childPosition)

Added in API level 1

Returns the packed position representation of a child's position.

In general, a packed position should be used in situations where the position given to/returned from an ExpandableListAdapter or ExpandableListView method can either be a child or group.

Added in API level 1

Gets the position of the currently selected group or child (along with its type). Can return PACKED_POSITION_VALUE_NULL if no selection.

Returns
  • A packed position containing the currently selected group or child's position and type. #PACKED_POSITION_VALUE_NULL if no selection or if selection is on a header or a footer item.

public boolean isGroupExpanded (int groupPosition)

Added in API level 1

Whether the given group is currently expanded.

Parameters
groupPosition The group to check.
Returns
  • Whether the group is currently expanded.

public void onRestoreInstanceState (Parcelable state)

Added in API level 1

Hook allowing a view to re-apply a representation of its internal state that had previously been generated by onSaveInstanceState(). This function will never be called with a null state.

Parameters
state The frozen state that had previously been returned by onSaveInstanceState().

public void onRtlPropertiesChanged (int layoutDirection)

Added in API level 17

Called when any RTL property (layout direction or text direction or text alignment) has been changed. Subclasses need to override this method to take care of cached information that depends on the resolved layout direction, or to inform child views that inherit their layout direction. The default implementation does nothing.

Parameters
layoutDirection the direction of the layout

public Parcelable onSaveInstanceState ()

Added in API level 1

Hook allowing a view to generate a representation of its internal state that can later be used to create a new instance with that same state. This state should only contain information that is not persistent or can not be reconstructed later. For example, you will never store your current position on screen because that will be computed again when a new instance of the view is placed in its view hierarchy.

Some examples of things you may store here: the current cursor position in a text view (but usually not the text itself since that is stored in a content provider or other persistent storage), the currently selected item in a list view.

Returns
  • Returns a Parcelable object containing the view's current dynamic state, or null if there is nothing interesting to save. The default implementation returns null.

public boolean performItemClick (View v, int position, long id)

Added in API level 1

Call the OnItemClickListener, if it is defined. Performs all normal actions associated with clicking: reporting accessibility event, playing a sound, etc.

Parameters
v The view within the AdapterView that was clicked.
position The position of the view in the adapter.
id The row id of the item that was clicked.
Returns
  • True if there was an assigned OnItemClickListener that was called, false otherwise is returned.

Added in API level 1

Sets the adapter that provides data to this view.

Parameters
adapter The adapter that provides data to this view.

public void setAdapter (ListAdapter adapter)

Added in API level 1

This overloaded method should not be used, instead use setAdapter(ExpandableListAdapter).

Sets the data behind this ListView. The adapter passed to this method may be wrapped by a WrapperListAdapter, depending on the ListView features currently in use. For instance, adding headers and/or footers will cause the adapter to be wrapped.

Parameters
adapter The ListAdapter which is responsible for maintaining the data backing this list and for producing a view to represent an item in that data set.

public void setChildDivider (Drawable childDivider)

Added in API level 1

Sets the drawable that will be drawn adjacent to every child in the list. This will be drawn using the same height as the normal divider (setDivider(Drawable)) or if it does not have an intrinsic height, the height set by setDividerHeight(int).
