Expandable list with RecyclerView?

by

This is simple to do with the stock LayoutManagers, it all depends on how you manage your adapter.

When you want to expand a section you just add new items to your adapter after the header. Remember to call notifyItemRangeInserted when you do this. To collapse a section you simply remove the relevant items, and call notifyItemRangeRemoved(). For any data changes that are appropriately notified, the recycler view will animate the views. When adding items, an area to be filled with the new items is made, with the new items fading in. Removal is the opposite. All you need to do besides the adapter stuff is to style your views to convey the logical structure to the user.

Update: Ryan Brooks has now written an article on how to do this.
