Steps to implement ExpandableListView in android

3 Steps to implement the Expandable ListView  in android

Step 1 : Initilize the ExpandableListView and ExpandableListAdapter in a onCreate()

    ExpandableListAdapter mAdapter;
    ExpandableListView epView = (ExpandableListView) findViewById(R.id.ExpandableListView01);
    mAdapter = new MyExpandableListAdapter();
    epView.setAdapter(mAdapter);

Step 2 : Create a custom BaseApdapter Class
 /**
     * A simple adapter which maintains an ArrayList of photo resource Ids. Each
     * photo is displayed as an image. This adapter supports clearing the list
     * of photos and adding a new photo.
     *
     */
    public class MyExpandableListAdapter extends BaseExpandableListAdapter {
    // Sample data set. children[i] contains the children (String[]) for
    // groups[i].
    private String[] groups = { "Parent1", "Parent2",
        "Parent3" };
    private String[][] children = { { "Child1" },{ "Child2" }, { "Child3" },{ "Child4" }, { "Child5" } };

    public Object getChild(int groupPosition, int childPosition) {
        return children[groupPosition][childPosition];
    }

    public long getChildId(int groupPosition, int childPosition) {
        return childPosition;
    }

    public int getChildrenCount(int groupPosition) {
        int i = 0;
        try {
        i = children[groupPosition].length;

        } catch (Exception e) {
        }

        return i;
    }

    public TextView getGenericView() {
        // Layout parameters for the ExpandableListView
        AbsListView.LayoutParams lp = new AbsListView.LayoutParams(
            ViewGroup.LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT, 64);

        TextView textView = new TextView(MainActivity.this);
        textView.setLayoutParams(lp);
        // Center the text vertically
        textView.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER_VERTICAL | Gravity.LEFT);
        textView.setTextColor(R.color.marcyred);
        // Set the text starting position
        textView.setPadding(36, 0, 0, 0);
        return textView;
    }

    public View getChildView(int groupPosition, int childPosition,
        boolean isLastChild, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
        TextView textView = getGenericView();
        textView.setText(getChild(groupPosition, childPosition).toString());
        return textView;
    }

    public Object getGroup(int groupPosition) {
        return groups[groupPosition];
    }

    public int getGroupCount() {
        return groups.length;
    }

    public long getGroupId(int groupPosition) {
        return groupPosition;
    }

    public View getGroupView(int groupPosition, boolean isExpanded,
        View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
        TextView textView = getGenericView();
        textView.setText(getGroup(groupPosition).toString());
        return textView;
    }

    public boolean isChildSelectable(int groupPosition, int childPosition) {
        return true;
    }

    public boolean hasStableIds() {
        return true;
    }

    }
   
3. Listeners
    epView.setOnGroupClickListener(new OnGroupClickListener() {
        @Override
        public boolean onGroupClick(ExpandableListView arg0, View arg1,
            int groupPosition, long arg3) {
        if (groupPosition == 5) {               

        }
        return false;
        }
        });

    epView.setOnChildClickListener(new ExpandableListView.OnChildClickListener() {
    @Override
    public boolean onChildClick(ExpandableListView parent,
            View v, int groupPosition, int childPosition,
            long id) {
        if (groupPosition == 0 && childPosition == 0) {
           
        }
        return false;
    }
    });
