setOnGroupExpandListener is not resolved, android

Question

I followed this link and the answer with most results gives me that the method, setOnGroupExpandListener cannot be resolved. I'm new to android and currently doing stuff basically by checking out how others have done it and try to learn from them.

ExpendableListAdapter listAdapter;
ExpandableListView expListView;
private int lastExpandedPosition = -1;
List<String> listDataHeader;
HashMap<String, List<String>> listDataChild;

expListView.setOnGroupExpandListener(new OnGroupExpandListener() {

    @Override
    public void onGroupExpand(int groupPosition) {
        if (lastExpandedPosition != -1
                && groupPosition != lastExpandedPosition) {
            expListView.collapseGroup(lastExpandedPosition);
        }
        lastExpandedPosition = groupPosition;
    }
});

This is in my MainActivity.java, setOnGroupExpandListener is underlined and "not resolved".

These are the imported classes:

import android.content.ContentResolver;
import android.content.Context;
import android.database.Cursor;
import android.net.Uri;
import android.provider.ContactsContract;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.util.Log;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.MenuItem;
import android.widget.ExpandableListView;

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.HashSet;
import java.util.List;

This is the content of my build.gradle:

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 22
    buildToolsVersion "22.0.1"

    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.example.kevin.ha1kattai"
        minSdkVersion 10
        targetSdkVersion 22
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }
}

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:22.2.1'
}

This is my project file

Did you do the correct import ? try deleting the import for ExpandablelistView & do this to import Ctrl+Shift+O — Syed Nazar Muhammad, Sep 29 '15 at 05:43
I added my imported clases. I did try your method aswell as it did not give results. Although, i had my own idea, i'm currently using Android 2.3.3 Gingerbread. Could this be that it's not defined in this version? — Banana, Sep 29 '15 at 05:49

Android ExpandableListView Support Min SDK:10. Please change YourminSdkVersion .

android:minSdkVersion An integer designating the minimum API Level required for the application to run.

Please set minSdkVersion as 13 or 17 for better approach

Edited

 defaultConfig {
    applicationId "com.example.kevin.ha1kattai"
    minSdkVersion 15
    targetSdkVersion 22
    versionCode 1
    versionName "1.0"
}

So following [this](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19465049/changing-api-level-android-studio) link should give me are result I want? – Banana Sep 29 '15 at 05:59
@Banana whats your minSdkVersion version ?? i guess 10 .It will be better if you set 17 or 15 – IntelliJ Amiya Sep 29 '15 at 06:02
Added my build.gradle file, this android:minsdk goes into manifest, right? – Banana Sep 29 '15 at 06:03
@Banana set min as 15 for testing case.Let me inform – IntelliJ Amiya Sep 29 '15 at 06:04

I changed the defaultConfig as you edited, also put the minSdk in android manifest, synced the gradle, rebuilt project but still i'm getting the same error. – Banana Sep 29 '15 at 06:07

I added my project file in the end as a .rar in case it could clear things out. – Banana Sep 29 '15 at 06:12
no need to add (Remove this from manifest) – IntelliJ Amiya Sep 29 '15 at 06:15

Removing this from manifest didn't change a thing. As i opened the module (F4) it shows that my version has been upgraded tho, so maybe the problem is in something else? – Banana Sep 29 '15 at 06:31

Hey @IntelliJAmiya. I figured the solution out - my listener method was before setAdapter and not in onCreate method. Although i'd like to give you a credit for your effort and help! – Banana Sep 29 '15 at 06:34
@Banana It running smoothly in here .Please upgrade your sdk manager (and properly set sdk path) – IntelliJ Amiya Sep 29 '15 at 06:34
@Banana Glad to hear that – IntelliJ Amiya Sep 29 '15 at 06:36
