ExpandableListView is not expanding

Question

I m creating ExpandableList view in Fragment , the Group item display in list, but when I touch the group item, it is not expanding.

Below is my fragment

public class InstituteFragment extends Fragment {
    ExpandableListView expandableListView;
    ArrayList<String> subjectName;
    HashMap<String,ArrayList<String>> topicName;
    public InstituteFragment() {

    }

    public static InstituteFragment newInstance(){
        InstituteFragment fragment = new InstituteFragment();
        return fragment;
    }

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        subjectName = new ArrayList<>();
        topicName = new HashMap<>();
    }

    @Override
    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
                             Bundle savedInstanceState) {
       View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_institute, container, false);
        prepData();
        expandableListView = (ExpandableListView)view.findViewById(R.id.expd_list_view);
        SubjectAdapter adapter = new SubjectAdapter(getActivity(),subjectName,topicName);
        expandableListView.setAdapter(adapter);
        return view;
    }


    private void prepData() {

        subjectName.add("Physics");
        subjectName.add("Chemistry");
        subjectName.add("Biology");

        ArrayList<String> physics = new ArrayList<>();
        physics.add("Demo");
        physics.add("Demo1");
        physics.add("Demo2");
        physics.add("Demo3");

        ArrayList<String> chemistry = new ArrayList<>();
        chemistry.add("Demo");
        chemistry.add("Demo1");
        chemistry.add("Demo2");
        chemistry.add("Demo3");

        ArrayList<String> biology = new ArrayList<>();
        biology.add("Demo");
        biology.add("Demo1");
        biology.add("Demo2");
        biology.add("Demo3");

        topicName.put(subjectName.get(0), physics);
        topicName.put(subjectName.get(1),chemistry);
        topicName.put(subjectName.get(2),biology);


    }


}

below is adapter

public class SubjectAdapter extends BaseExpandableListAdapter {
    Context context;
    ArrayList<String> subjectName;
    HashMap<String,ArrayList<String>> topicName;

    public SubjectAdapter(Context context, ArrayList<String> subjectName, HashMap<String, ArrayList<String>> topicName) {
        this.context = context;
        this.topicName = topicName;
        this.subjectName = subjectName;
    }

    @Override
    public Object getChild(int groupPosition, int childPosition) {
        return this.topicName.get(this.subjectName.get(groupPosition))
                .get(childPosition);
    }

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



    @Override
    public View getChildView(int groupPosition, int childPosition, boolean isLastChild, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
        final String childText = (String) getChild(groupPosition, childPosition);

        LayoutInflater infalInflater = (LayoutInflater) this.context
                .getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
        convertView = infalInflater.inflate(R.layout.chapter_name, null);

        TextView txtListChild = (TextView) convertView
                .findViewById(R.id.chapter_name);

        txtListChild.setText(childText);
        return convertView;
    }


    @Override
    public int getChildrenCount(int groupPosition) {
        return this.topicName.get(this.subjectName.get(groupPosition)).size();
    }

    @Override
    public int getGroupCount() {
        return this.subjectName.size();
    }


    @Override
    public Object getGroup(int groupPosition) {
        return this.subjectName.get(groupPosition);
    }



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

    @Override
    public View getGroupView(int groupPosition, boolean isExpanded, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
        String subjectName = (String)getGroup(groupPosition);
        LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater)this.context.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
        convertView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.subject_name,null);
        TextView textView = (TextView)convertView.findViewById(R.id.subject_name);
        textView.setText(subjectName);
        return convertView;
    }


    @Override
    public boolean hasStableIds() {
        return false;
    }





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

Answer 1

Well, easy one.

You have imagebutton in groupview that is intercepting touch event. Add these parameters:

    android:focusable="false"
    android:focusableInTouchMode="false"

And do same for childview . You have exactly the same case there.

PS why are you using imagebuttons anyway? you could use imageviews instead

Answer 2

You need to do this one.

expandableListView = (ExpandableListView)view.findViewById(R.id.expd_list_view);
SubjectAdapter adapter = new SubjectAdapter(getActivity(),subjectName,topicName);
expandableListView.setAdapter(adapter);

expandableListView .setOnGroupClickListener(new ExpandableListView.OnGroupClickListener() {
         @Override
         public boolean onGroupClick(ExpandableListView expandableListView, View view, int groupPosition, long l) {
          expandableListView.expandGroup(groupPosition);
          return false;
        }
  });

Hope this will help you.

Answer 3

Try to pass your ExpandableListView in the adapter:

SubjectAdapter adapter = new SubjectAdapter(getActivity(),subjectName,topicName, expandableListView);

Then youe adapter should look like:

...
ExpandableListView expandableListView;

    public SubjectAdapter(Context context, ArrayList<String> subjectName, HashMap<String, ArrayList<String>> topicName, ExpandableListView expandableListView) {
        this.context = context;
        this.topicName = topicName;
        this.subjectName = subjectName;
        this.expandableListView = expandableListView;
    }

In your group view add following:

textView.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                    expandableListView.expandGroup(groupPosition);    
            }
        });
