ExpandableHeightListView
Android Library to put a ListView inside a ScrollView without collapsing.
How to use
Add this to your build.gradle:
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
compile 'com.github.paolorotolo:expandableheightlistview:1.0.0'
}Add ExpandableHeightListView instead of ListView in your xml files:
<ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<com.github.paolorotolo.expandableheightlistview.ExpandableHeightListView
android:id="@+id/expandable_listview"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:padding="8dp">
</com.github.paolorotolo.expandableheightlistview.ExpandableHeightListView>
</ScrollView>Expand ExpandableHeightListView programmatically:
ExpandableHeightListView expandableListView = (ExpandableHeightListView) findViewById(R.id.expandable_listview);
expandableListView.setAdapter(adapterName);
// This actually does the magic
expandableListView.setExpanded(true);It also works well with GridView.
Just use this instead:
<com.github.paolorotolo.expandableheightlistview.ExpandableHeightGridView
android:id="@+id/expandable_listview"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:padding="8dp">
</com.github.paolorotolo.expandableheightlistview.ExpandableHeightGridView>
