How to add an expandableView in a RecyclerView?


How to add an expandableView in a RecyclerView? I have a problem in implementing an expandable view in the following code. In the picture, I have fetched data from a json. How to implement the expand and collapse in a RecyclerView? I have been stuck in this code for a long time.

    public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

            private String url = "http://mantras.happylife.in/mantras_api";

            private RecyclerView mList;

            private LinearLayoutManager linearLayoutManager;
            private DividerItemDecoration dividerItemDecoration;
            private List<Mantras> mantraList;
            private RecyclerView.Adapter adapter;

            @Override
            protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
                super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
                setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

                mList = findViewById(R.id.main_list);

                mantraList = new ArrayList<>();
                adapter = new MantraAdapter(getApplicationContext(),mantraList);



                linearLayoutManager = new LinearLayoutManager(this);
                linearLayoutManager.setOrientation(LinearLayoutManager.VERTICAL);
                dividerItemDecoration = new DividerItemDecoration(mList.getContext(), linearLayoutManager.getOrientation());

                mList.setHasFixedSize(true);
                mList.setLayoutManager(linearLayoutManager);
                mList.addItemDecoration(dividerItemDecoration);
                mList.setAdapter(adapter);

                mList.addOnItemTouchListener(
                        new RecyclerItemClickListener(this, mList ,new RecyclerItemClickListener.OnItemClickListener() {
                            @Override public void onItemClick(View view, int position) {
                                ViewGroup vg = (ViewGroup) view;
                                TextView ti = (TextView) vg.findViewById(R.id.title);
                                TextView de = (TextView) vg.findViewById(R.id.desc);

                                String selected = ti.getText().toString() + de.getText().toString();
                                Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
                                intent.setType("text/plain");
                                intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, selected);
                                startActivity(Intent.createChooser(intent, "Share via"));
                            }

                        })

Below is the `Mantra Adapter`:

   package happy.life.mantras;

import android.content.Context;
import android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
import android.widget.TextView;

import java.util.List;




    public class MantraAdapter extends RecyclerView.Adapter<MantraAdapter.ViewHolder>{

    private Context context;
    private List<Mantras> list;
    boolean isPlay = false;


    public MantraAdapter(Context context, List<Mantras> list) {
        this.context = context;
        this.list = list;
    }

    @Override
    public ViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(ViewGroup parent, int viewType) {
        View v = LayoutInflater.from(context).inflate(R.layout.single_item, parent, false);

        return new ViewHolder(v);
    }


    @Override
    public void onBindViewHolder(final ViewHolder holder, int position) {
        Mantras movie = list.get(position);

        holder.textTitle.setText(movie.getTitle());
        holder.textDesc.setText(String.valueOf(movie.getDesc()));

        holder.textTitle.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                if(isPlay){
                    holder.textDesc.setVisibility(View.GONE);
                }else{
                    holder.textDesc.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
                }

                isPlay = !isPlay;
            }
        });

    }
    @Override
    public int getItemCount() {
        return list.size();
    }




    public class ViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder {
        public TextView textTitle, textDesc;

        public ViewHolder(View itemView) {
            super(itemView);

            textTitle = itemView.findViewById(R.id.title);
            textDesc = itemView.findViewById(R.id.desc);
        }
    }



}

Solution

  • Globally Declare public boolean isPlay = false;

    And Follow below code :

     @Override
    public void onBindViewHolder(ViewHolder holder, int position) {
        Mantras movie = list.get(position);
    
        holder.textTitle.setText(movie.getTitle());
        holder.textDesc.setText(String.valueOf(movie.getDesc()));
    
    holder.textTitle.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                if(isPlay){
                    holder.textDesc.setVisibility(View.GONE);
                }else{
                    holder.textDesc.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
                }
    
                isPlay = !isPlay;
            }
        });
    
    }
