The below method is not working in android version jellybean 4.3.

historyExpaLV.setIndicatorBounds(historyExpaLV.getRight() - 60,
                    historyExpaLV.getWidth() - 8);

"not working" is not a very useful explanation of your symptoms. – Aquamarine

Does it work in previous versions? Are you calling it before it's measured? More detail, please. – Ashwin

yes it is working in previous versions Geobits. – Togliatti

Answer 1

How I fixed this:

Update SDK Manager to Android 4.3 and use it as build target. They introduced a new method in the API 18, called setIndicatorBoundsRelative(int, int), which works as the other (but correctly) in android 4.3.

Make a check for Android version and use the old method with older API:

if(android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES.JELLY_BEAN_MR2) {
   mListView.setIndicatorBounds(myLeft, myRight);
} else {
   mListView.setIndicatorBoundsRelative(myLeft, myRight);
}

but why was this change made ? – Osculum

What is myLeft, myRight ? Please elaborate it – Willing

myLeft and myRight are your desired values how you want to pad the indicator. They are called "my" because it's up to you to decide what you want them to be. Check out the docs: developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/…, int) – Colorist

Answer 2

i think it's bug

int right = (int) (getResources().getDisplayMetrics().widthPixels - TypedValue.applyDimension(TypedValue.COMPLEX_UNIT_DIP, 30, getResources().getDisplayMetrics()));
    expandableListView.setIndicatorBounds(right - getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.group_indicator_padding).getIntrinsicWidth(), right);

this code works fine up to 4.2.2 and do nothing on 4.3

Above answer will work for you. As setIndicatorBoundsRelative will work for Android >= 4.3 – Gluck
