How to make listview expandable inside a scrollview

Question

Since i am new in android programming i am facing one issue as described below :

you can use ExpandableListView instead of using listview.

 <ExpandableListView
            android:id="@+id/activity_expandable_list_view"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:background="@color/white"/>

refer this for more details.

You are setting android:layout_height="wrap_content" that's why it's showing only one row. wrap_content to resize listView to it's all items doesn't work.

<ListView
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="500dp"
            android:id="@+id/lvProfile"
            android:choiceMode="singleChoice"
            android:headerDividersEnabled="false"
            android:divider="@null"
            android:dividerHeight="0dp"/>

if you set using a number of dp, the page will show a blank page when there is no data for the lsitview. i think this is not dynamic – gilllsss Jan 17 '17 at 04:56
i know it's not a good solution. i just pointed the thing why it's showing 1 row. It's better not to use `listView` for dynamic data. use RecyclerView or Custom ListView – Sadiq Md Asif Jan 17 '17 at 04:58

It is not good practice to use one Scrolling UI component in another Scrolling UI component.

You should change you implementation logic.

If you are using listview inside ScrollView then plz follow below code It will help you to resolve your issue:

For exe

listview.setAdapter(youradapter);
setListViewHeightBasedOnChildren(youradapter) 

public void setCustomListViewHeightBasedOnChildren(ListView listView, YourAdapter yourAdapter) {
            if (yourAdapter == null) {
                return;
            }
            int totalHeight;
            int listWidth = listView.getMeasuredWidth();
            int items = yourAdapter.getCount();
            if (items == 0) {
                totalHeight = 0;
            } else {
                View childView = yourAdapter.getView(0, null, listView);
                childView.measure(MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(listWidth, MeasureSpec.EXACTLY),
                        MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(0, MeasureSpec.UNSPECIFIED));
                totalHeight = childView.getMeasuredHeight() * items;
            }
            ViewGroup.LayoutParams params = listView.getLayoutParams();
            params.height = totalHeight;
            listView.setLayoutParams(params);
            listView.requestLayout();
    }

you can you do like this:

 <ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        android:id="@+id/activity_expandable_scroll_view"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:fillViewport="true">
     
        <LinearLayout
            android:id="@+id/LinearLayout1"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:orientation="vertical"
            android:paddingBottom="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
            android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
            android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
            android:paddingTop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin">
     
    <!-- your code --->
     
     <ExpandableListView
                android:id="@+id/activity_expandable_list_view"
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:background="@color/white"/>
     
        </LinearLayout>
    </ScrollView>

then you need a function in your activity or fragment:

private fun setListViewHeight(
        listView: ExpandableListView,
        group: Int
    ) {
        val listAdapter: ExpandableListAdapter =
            listView.expandableListAdapter as ExpandableListAdapter
        var totalHeight = 0
        val desiredWidth: Int = View.MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(
            listView.getWidth(),
            View.MeasureSpec.EXACTLY
        )
        for (i in 0 until listAdapter.groupCount) {
            val groupItem: View = listAdapter.getGroupView(i, false, null, listView)
            groupItem.measure(desiredWidth, View.MeasureSpec.UNSPECIFIED)
            totalHeight += groupItem.measuredHeight
            if (listView.isGroupExpanded(i) && i != group
                || !listView.isGroupExpanded(i) && i == group
            ) {
                for (j in 0 until listAdapter.getChildrenCount(i)) {
                    val listItem: View = listAdapter.getChildView(
                        i, j, false, null,
                        listView
                    )
                    listItem.measure(desiredWidth, View.MeasureSpec.UNSPECIFIED)
                    totalHeight += listItem.measuredHeight
                }
            }
        }
        val params: ViewGroup.LayoutParams = listView.layoutParams
        var height: Int = (totalHeight
                + listView.dividerHeight * (listAdapter.groupCount - 1))
        if (height < 10) height = 200
        params.height = height
        listView.layoutParams = params
        listView.requestLayout()
    }
