Collapse all group except selected group in expandable listview android

Solution 1:

Have the current expanded group position stored in a variable. In onGroupExpanded do the following.

private int lastExpandedPosition = -1;
private ExpandableListView lv; //your expandable listview
...

lv.setOnGroupExpandListener(new OnGroupExpandListener() {

    @Override
    public void onGroupExpand(int groupPosition) {
            if (lastExpandedPosition != -1
                    && groupPosition != lastExpandedPosition) {
                lv.collapseGroup(lastExpandedPosition);
            }
            lastExpandedPosition = groupPosition;
    }
});

Solution 2:

Use this code this will work

expandableList.setOnGroupExpandListener(new OnGroupExpandListener() {
    int previousItem = -1;

    @Override
    public void onGroupExpand(int groupPosition) {
        if(groupPosition != previousItem )
            expandableList.collapseGroup(previousItem );
        previousItem = groupPosition;
    }
});

Solution 3:

@Override
    public void onGroupExpanded(int groupPosition){
        //collapse the old expanded group, if not the same
        //as new group to expand
        if(groupPosition != lastExpandedGroupPosition){
            listView.collapseGroup(lastExpandedGroupPosition);
        }

        super.onGroupExpanded(groupPosition);           
        lastExpandedGroupPosition = groupPosition;
    }

Solution 4:

If the ExpandableListView has more than 2 groups:

expandableListView.setOnGroupExpandListener(new ExpandableListView.OnGroupExpandListener() {
    @Override
    public void onGroupExpand(int groupPosition) {
        for (int g = 0; g < expandableListAdapter.getGroupCount(); g++) {
            if (g != groupPosition) {
                expandableListView.collapseGroup(g);
            }
        }
    }
});    

It will collapse all groups except the clicked one.
