I want to make only one item in the parent list expand at a time, my code for the onCreate is currently the following. (It works as I want, But the method to allow only one pare
@Override
public void onGroupExpanded(int groupPosition) {
super.onGroupExpanded(groupPosition);
int len = getGroupCount();
for (int i = 0; i < len; i++) {
if (i != groupPosition) {
expListView.collapseGroup(i);
}
}
}

Modified the answer from Iram: So you can reopen the same Group
// Listview Group expanded listener
expListView.setOnGroupExpandListener(new OnGroupExpandListener() {
@Override
public void onGroupExpand(int groupPosition) {
if (prevouriousExpandedGroupNumber != -1 && prevouriousExpandedGroupNumber != groupPosition) {
expListView.collapseGroup(prevouriousExpandedGroupNumber);
}
prevouriousExpandedGroupNumber = groupPosition;
}
});
I believe a straight forward solution would be to implement one Adapter to handle any of the events you are interested in.
public class MyExpandableListAdapter extends SimpleExpandableListAdapter {
public Activity mActivity;
public MyExpandableListAdapter([ARGS USED IN QUESTION], Activity activity) {super([ARGS USED IN QUESTIONS]); mActivity = activity; }
// then just override the method
public void onGroupExpanded(int groupPosition) {
int len = super.getGroupCount();
ExpandableListView list = (ExpandableListView) mActivity.findViewById(R.id.list);
for (int i = 0; i < len; i++) {
if (i != groupPosition) {
list.collapseGroup(i);
}
}
}
}
By separating the list adapter into another class you will not clutter the Activity code with one-off listener implementations. Instead, in each Activity simply instantiate the adapter and set it on the list
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
// No try catch needed
MyExpandableListAdapter mAdapter = new MyExpandableListAdapter([ARGS SHOWN IN QUESTION], MainActivity.this);
ExpandableListView epView = (ExpandableListView) findViewById(R.id.list);
epView.setAdapter(mAdapter);
return true;
}
The problem was solved by creating a public explist variable called list, and then referencing it to the adapter in view with the following call.
list = getExpandableListView();
The expand method before was crashing the app because of this. After refferencing the list.collapsegroup in, it worked fine.
public void onGroupExpand(int groupPosition) {
System.out.println("GROUP LISTENER WORKS?");
if(adptr=="expListAdapter"){
int len = expListAdapter.getGroupCount();
//System.out.println(len);
for (int i = 0; i < len; i++) {
if (i != groupPosition) {
list.collapseGroup(i);
}
}
}
else if(adptr=="expListAdapter2"){
int len = expListAdapter2.getGroupCount();
for (int i = 0; i < len; i++) {
if (i != groupPosition) {
list.collapseGroup(i);
}
}
//System.out.println(len);
}
else if(adptr=="expListAdapter3"){
int len = expListAdapter3.getGroupCount();
for (int i = 0; i < len; i++) {
if (i != groupPosition) {
list.collapseGroup(i);
}
}
}
}
// Declare variable
private static int prev = -1;
// and OnGroupExpandListener implement
mExpandableList.setOnGroupExpandListener(new OnGroupExpandListener() {
@Override
public void onGroupExpand(int groupPosition) {
if(prev!=-1)
{
mExpandableList.collapseGroup(prev);
}
prev=groupPosition;
}
});
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;
}
});
