The class can be called in following way

   if (findViewById(R.id.ll_specailoffer_show_hide).getVisibility() == View.VISIBLE) {
                        ((ImageView) findViewById(R.id.iv_specialhour_seemore)).setImageResource(R.drawable.white_dropdown_up);

                                findViewById(R.id.ll_specailoffer_show_hide),
                                FinalExpandCollapseAnimation.COLLAPSE,
                                SpecialOfferHeight, "linear", this);
                        findViewById(R.id.ll_specailoffer_show_hide)
                                .startAnimation(finalExpandCollapseAnimation);
                        ((View) findViewById(R.id.ll_specailoffer_show_hide).getParent()).invalidate();

                        ((ImageView) findViewById(R.id.iv_specialhour_seemore)).setImageResource(R.drawable.white_dropdown);

                        FinalExpandCollapseAnimation finalExpandCollapseAnimation = new FinalExpandCollapseAnimation(

                        findViewById(R.id.ll_specailoffer_show_hide)
