public static void expandOrCollapseView(View v,boolean expand){

    if(expand){
        v.measure(ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT,ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
        final int targetHeight = v.getMeasuredHeight();
        v.getLayoutParams().height = 0;
        v.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
        ValueAnimator valueAnimator = ValueAnimator.ofInt(targetHeight);
        valueAnimator.addUpdateListener(new ValueAnimator.AnimatorUpdateListener() {
            @Override
            public void onAnimationUpdate(ValueAnimator animation) {
                v.getLayoutParams().height = (int) animation.getAnimatedValue();
                v.requestLayout();
            }
        });
        valueAnimator.setInterpolator(new DecelerateInterpolator());
        valueAnimator.setDuration(500);
        valueAnimator.start();
    }
    else
    {
        final int initialHeight = v.getMeasuredHeight();
        ValueAnimator valueAnimator = ValueAnimator.ofInt(initialHeight,0);
        valueAnimator.setInterpolator(new DecelerateInterpolator());
        valueAnimator.addUpdateListener(new ValueAnimator.AnimatorUpdateListener() {
            @Override
            public void onAnimationUpdate(ValueAnimator animation) {
                v.getLayoutParams().height = (int) animation.getAnimatedValue();
                v.requestLayout();
                if((int)animation.getAnimatedValue() == 0)
                    v.setVisibility(View.GONE);
            }
        });
        valueAnimator.setInterpolator(new DecelerateInterpolator());
        valueAnimator.setDuration(500);
        valueAnimator.start();
    }
}

//sample usage
expandOrCollapseView((Your ViewGroup),(Your ViewGroup).getVisibility()!=View.VISIBLE);
