How can I make a cell in a ListView in Android expand and contract vertically when it's touched?

I have a cell in a ListView that has a bunch of text in it. I show the first two rows of text and then end it with a "..." if it goes beyond. I want a user to be able to touch the cell and have it expand dynamically within the view, displaying all of the data. Then when they touch the cell again, it contracts back to it's normal size.

I've seen an iOS app do this and it's very cool. Is there any way to do this with Android? How?

I've implemented a simple code that works in all Android's sdk versions.

See below its working and the code.

Github code: https://github.com/LeonardoCardoso/Animated-Expanding-ListView

For information on my website: http://android.leocardz.com/animated-expanding-listview/

Basically, you have to create a custom TranslateAnimation and a Custom List Adapter and, while it's animating, you have to update the current height of listview item and notify the adapter about this change.

Let's go to the code.

  1. List Item layout

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
           android:id="@+id/text_wrap"
           android:layout_width="match_parent"
           android:layout_height="wrap_content"
           android:orientation="horizontal"
           android:paddingBottom="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
           android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
           android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
           android:paddingTop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin" >
    
           <TextView
               android:id="@+id/text"
               android:layout_width="match_parent"
               android:layout_height="wrap_content"
               android:textSize="18sp" >
           </TextView>
    
    </LinearLayout>
    
  2. Activity Layout

       <RelativeLayout 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"
              tools:context=".MainActivity" >
    
              <ListView
                  android:id="@+id/list"
                  android:layout_width="match_parent"
                  android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                  android:divider="@android:color/black"
                  android:dividerHeight="3dp" >
              </ListView>
    
          </RelativeLayout>
    
  3. List Item class

    public class ListItem {
    
    private String text;
    private int collapsedHeight, currentHeight, expandedHeight;
    private boolean isOpen;
    private ListViewHolder holder;
    private int drawable;
    
    public ListItem(String text, int collapsedHeight, int currentHeight,
            int expandedHeight) {
        super();
        this.text = text;
        this.collapsedHeight = collapsedHeight;
        this.currentHeight = currentHeight;
        this.expandedHeight = expandedHeight;
        this.isOpen = false;
        this.drawable = R.drawable.down;
    }
    
    public String getText() {
        return text;
    }
    
    public void setText(String text) {
        this.text = text;
    }
    
    public int getCollapsedHeight() {
        return collapsedHeight;
    }
    
    public void setCollapsedHeight(int collapsedHeight) {
        this.collapsedHeight = collapsedHeight;
    }
    
    public int getCurrentHeight() {
        return currentHeight;
    }
    
    public void setCurrentHeight(int currentHeight) {
        this.currentHeight = currentHeight;
    }
    
    public int getExpandedHeight() {
        return expandedHeight;
    }
    
    public void setExpandedHeight(int expandedHeight) {
        this.expandedHeight = expandedHeight;
    }
    
    public boolean isOpen() {
        return isOpen;
    }
    
    public void setOpen(boolean isOpen) {
        this.isOpen = isOpen;
    }
    
    public ListViewHolder getHolder() {
        return holder;
    }
    
    public void setHolder(ListViewHolder holder) {
        this.holder = holder;
    }
    
    public int getDrawable() {
        return drawable;
    }
    
    public void setDrawable(int drawable) {
        this.drawable = drawable;
    }
    }
    
  4. View Holder class

    public class ListViewHolder {
     private LinearLayout textViewWrap;
     private TextView textView;
    
     public ListViewHolder(LinearLayout textViewWrap, TextView textView) {
        super();
        this.textViewWrap = textViewWrap;
        this.textView = textView;
     }
    
     public TextView getTextView() {
            return textView;
     }
    
     public void setTextView(TextView textView) {
        this.textView = textView;
     }
    
     public LinearLayout getTextViewWrap() {
        return textViewWrap;
     }
    
     public void setTextViewWrap(LinearLayout textViewWrap) {
        this.textViewWrap = textViewWrap;
     }
    }
    
  5. Custom Animation class

        public class ResizeAnimation extends Animation {
        private View mView;
        private float mToHeight;
        private float mFromHeight;
    
        private float mToWidth;
        private float mFromWidth;
    
        private ListAdapter mListAdapter;
        private ListItem mListItem;
    
        public ResizeAnimation(ListAdapter listAdapter, ListItem listItem,
                float fromWidth, float fromHeight, float toWidth, float toHeight) {
            mToHeight = toHeight;
            mToWidth = toWidth;
            mFromHeight = fromHeight;
            mFromWidth = fromWidth;
            mView = listItem.getHolder().getTextViewWrap();
            mListAdapter = listAdapter;
            mListItem = listItem;
            setDuration(200);
        }
    
        @Override
        protected void applyTransformation(float interpolatedTime, Transformation t) {
            float height = (mToHeight - mFromHeight) * interpolatedTime
                    + mFromHeight;
            float width = (mToWidth - mFromWidth) * interpolatedTime + mFromWidth;
            LayoutParams p = (LayoutParams) mView.getLayoutParams();
            p.height = (int) height;
            p.width = (int) width;
            mListItem.setCurrentHeight(p.height);
            mListAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
        }
      }
    
  6. Custom List Adapter class

    public class ListAdapter extends ArrayAdapter<ListItem> {
    private ArrayList<ListItem> listItems;
    private Context context;
    
    public ListAdapter(Context context, int textViewResourceId,
        ArrayList<ListItem> listItems) {
    super(context, textViewResourceId, listItems);
    this.listItems = listItems;
    this.context = context;
    }
    
    @Override
    @SuppressWarnings("deprecation")
    public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
    ListViewHolder holder = null;
    ListItem listItem = listItems.get(position);
    
    if (convertView == null) {
        LayoutInflater vi = (LayoutInflater) context
                .getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
        convertView = vi.inflate(R.layout.list_item, null);
    
        LinearLayout textViewWrap = (LinearLayout) convertView
                .findViewById(R.id.text_wrap);
        TextView text = (TextView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.text);
    
        holder = new ListViewHolder(textViewWrap, text);
    } else
        holder = (ListViewHolder) convertView.getTag();
    
    holder.getTextView().setText(listItem.getText());
    
    LayoutParams layoutParams = new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT,
            listItem.getCurrentHeight());
    holder.getTextViewWrap().setLayoutParams(layoutParams);
    
    holder.getTextView().setCompoundDrawablesWithIntrinsicBounds(
            listItem.getDrawable(), 0, 0, 0);
    
    convertView.setTag(holder);
    
    listItem.setHolder(holder);
    
    return convertView;
    }
    
    }

    public class MainActivity extends Activity {
    
    private ListView listView;
    private ArrayList<ListItem> listItems;
    private ListAdapter adapter;
    
    private final int COLLAPSED_HEIGHT_1 = 150, COLLAPSED_HEIGHT_2 = 200,

Here is example from Udinic. It had listview item expand with animation and require API level only 4+

ExpandAnimationExample

in onItemClick event use ExpandAnimation

/**
* This animation class is animating the expanding and reducing the size of a view.
* The animation toggles between the Expand and Reduce, depending on the current state of the view
* @author Udinic
*
*/
public class ExpandAnimation extends Animation {
    private View mAnimatedView;
    private LayoutParams mViewLayoutParams;
    private int mMarginStart, mMarginEnd;
    private boolean mIsVisibleAfter = false;
    private boolean mWasEndedAlready = false;

    /**
* Initialize the animation
* @param view The layout we want to animate
* @param duration The duration of the animation, in ms
*/
    public ExpandAnimation(View view, int duration) {

        setDuration(duration);
        mAnimatedView = view;
        mViewLayoutParams = (LayoutParams) view.getLayoutParams();

        // decide to show or hide the view
        mIsVisibleAfter = (view.getVisibility() == View.VISIBLE);

        mMarginStart = mViewLayoutParams.bottomMargin;
        mMarginEnd = (mMarginStart == 0 ? (0- view.getHeight()) : 0);

        view.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
    }

    @Override
    protected void applyTransformation(float interpolatedTime, Transformation t) {
        super.applyTransformation(interpolatedTime, t);

        if (interpolatedTime < 1.0f) {

            // Calculating the new bottom margin, and setting it
            mViewLayoutParams.bottomMargin = mMarginStart
                    + (int) ((mMarginEnd - mMarginStart) * interpolatedTime);

            // Invalidating the layout, making us seeing the changes we made
            mAnimatedView.requestLayout();

        // Making sure we didn't run the ending before (it happens!)
        } else if (!mWasEndedAlready) {
            mViewLayoutParams.bottomMargin = mMarginEnd;
            mAnimatedView.requestLayout();

            if (mIsVisibleAfter) {
                mAnimatedView.setVisibility(View.GONE);
            }
            mWasEndedAlready = true;
        }
    }
}

Detail usage is in project.
