Change Background Color of Clicked Child in Expandable ListView Android

Question

I want to change the background color of the child which is clicked in an ExpandableListView. That is, when any child is clicked, it\'s background color should get changed.

Answer 1

This is how I solved it.

View _lastColored;
public boolean onChildClick(ExpandableListView parent, View v,
        int groupPosition, int childPosition, long id) {
    _groupPosition = groupPosition;


    if(_lastColored != null)
    {
    _lastColored.setBackgroundColor(Color.TRANSPARENT);
    _lastColored.invalidate();
    }
    _lastColored = v;
    v.setBackgroundColor(Color.rgb(214, 214, 214));


    return false;
}

I think you should use

public boolean onChildClick(ExpandableListView parent, View v,
        int groupPosition, int childPosition, long id) {


    Object obj = parent.getTag();
      if(obj instanceof View){
             ((View) obj).findViewByID(<id of main ViewGroup of row>).setBackgroundColor(Color.<your normal color>);
         }


    v.findViewByID(<id of main ViewGroup of row>).setBackgroundColor(Color.DKGRAY);


 parent.setTag(v);



    return false;
}


parent.getChildAt(childPosition).findViewByID(<id of main ViewGroup of row >).setBackgroundColor(Color.DKGRAY);

or 


v.findViewByID(<id of main ViewGroup of row>).setBackgroundColor(Color.DKGRAY);

for second one http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/ExpandableListView.OnChildClickListener.html#onChildClick(android.widget.ExpandableListView, android.view.View, int, int, long)

How about lets say you try to directly refer your view and set the background like this,

public boolean onChildClick(ExpandableListView parent, View v,
        int groupPosition, int childPosition, long id) {

         v.setBackgroundColor(Color.BLUE);

    return false;
}
