Updating with updated solution

mExpandableList.setOnGroupExpandListener(new OnGroupExpandListener() {
    // Keep track of previous expanded parent
    int previousGroup = -1;

    @Override
    public void onGroupExpand(int groupPosition) {
        // Collapse previous parent if expanded.
        if ((previousGroup != -1) && (groupPosition != previousGroup)) {
            mExpandableList.collapseGroup(previousGroup);
        }
        previousGroup = groupPosition;
    }
});
