    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/lblListHeader"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_weight="1"
        android:paddingBottom="5dp"

Here is the ExpandableListAdapter getGroupView method code

public View getGroupView(int groupPosition, boolean isExpanded,
                View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
            String headerTitle = (String) getGroup(groupPosition);
            if (convertView == null) {
                LayoutInflater infalInflater = (LayoutInflater) this._context
                        .getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
                convertView = infalInflater.inflate(R.layout.list_group, null);
            }

            TextView lblListHeader = (TextView) convertView
                    .findViewById(R.id.lblListHeader);
            lblListHeader.setTypeface(null, Typeface.BOLD);
            lblListHeader.setText(headerTitle);convertView.setBackgroundResource(R.color.blue_list_dashboard);
            return convertView;
        }

Thanks for advance.

Answer 1

I was facing the same issue. Didn't able to find the solution. Tried all the things. But what i did is :-

 <Linearlayout>  
    <edittext> (Gone)
</Linearlayout>

When user click on edittext just visible the edittext and put focus on edittext. Just a kind of trick.

If any one have the best solution please come up. Because it not a good way. But its working.
