Expand ListView item with animation

I have a ListView. Initially, the ListView contains some data. When the user clicks on an item, another layout will be dynamically added to that item so it's height will be increased.

Right now, when the item's height is increased, it shows the modified item instantly. However, what I want is for this to be animated so it increases the item's height gradually.

I think I was looking for the same as was asked, I was looking for a way to animate the expanding of the listview item as some new content is shown (I was just changing the visibility on some views from GONE to VISIBLE). I had used the answer by mirroredAbstraction to help me apply a translate animation (I didn't want a rotate animation):

<translate xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:interpolator="@android:anim/linear_interpolator"
android:fromYDelta="0"
android:toYDelta="-100%p"
android:duration="500"   
/>

to each of the views. It create a nice effect, but looking closely, the listview item was actually suddenly expanding to the entire size that would be needed, then the animation dropped the views into place. But what I wanted was the effect of the listview item growing down as the views come into visibility.

I found exactly what I was looking for here: expanding-listview-items

The blogger has a link to his github sample, here: ExpandAnimationExample

If you find these sites gone, please inform me and I will make my copy available.

he put a negative margin on the content to come into visibility as well as setting visibility to GONE:

android:layout_marginBottom="-50dip"

and wrote an animation manipulating the bottom margin:

public class ExpandAnimation extends Animation {
...
    @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();
        }
        ...
    }
}

and it looks very nice. I found his answer to this SO (possible duplicate?) question:

Adding animation to a ListView in order to expand/collapse content

Also, please let me know if you know another way to do the same thing.

In this case, the height of the ListView item is known in advance. But, in my case it is dynamic. I mean, the height of the expanded layout will be known at runtime.Honky
Yes, I see ... I think I may need the ability to have that effect on dynamically added/created content. So, I too am still looking. I should like to upvote your question so more people see it, but you have not been too detailed (ie. you left out the dynamic part!), and at the very least, you should rephrase the confusing statement: "So, now what I want is: when the item's height is increased it shows the modified item suddenly, But I need to animate when it increases the item's height."Springbok

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/

normal accordion

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;
    }
    
    }
    
  7. Main Activity

    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,

How well does this code perform? Seeing as how it notifies so often, it seems rather heavy to process with complex views...Trebizond
Indeed. But AFAIK without notifying so often the listview loses itself if you scroll it while animating.Gaselier

Using value animator the solution looks nice:

ValueAnimator animator = ValueAnimator.ofInt(100, 300);
animator.setDuration(1000);
animator.addUpdateListener(new ValueAnimator.AnimatorUpdateListener() {
  @Override
  public void onAnimationUpdate(ValueAnimator animation) {
    listViewItem.getLayoutParams().height = (Integer) animation.getAnimatedValue();
    listViewItem.requestLayout();
  }
});
animator.start();

Just read the android developer guide, it is worth reading: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/graphics/prop-animation.html

But keep in mind, that requestLayout() processing is heavy. Because one call of requestLayout() make every nearby element, which is visually affected, recalculate it's layout. It may be better to use negative bottom margin (to hide some part of your element under another one) and use the following to show it:

listViewItem.setTranslationY((Integer) animation.getAnimatedValue());

Of course, you may animate only bottom margin, like proposed in another answer to this question.

You will have to implement Animation in Adapter of you ListView to achieve what you want,

Firstly create a basic animation.xml file, create a folder named anim in res folder and then put your animation.xml file in it.

For e.g. I have created a sample animation named rotate_animation.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<rotate
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:fromDegrees="0"
    android:toDegrees="360"
    android:pivotX="50%"
    android:pivotY="50%"
    android:duration="400" />

Then create an instance of Animation Object like this

private Animation animation;

Then in getView method of your Adapter implementation do something like this

public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
        View v = convertView;
        ViewHolder viewHolder;
        if (convertView == null) {
            LayoutInflater li = (LayoutInflater) mContext
                    .getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
            v = li.inflate(R.layout.my_layout, null);
            viewHolder = new ViewHolder(v);
            v.setTag(viewHolder);

        } else {
            viewHolder = (ViewHolder) v.getTag();
        }

        viewHolder.mAppName.setText("SomeText");
        viewHolder.mAppImage.setImageDrawable(R.drawable.someImage);
        animation = AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(mContext, R.anim.my_animation);
        v.startAnimation(animation);
        return v;
    }

My use case is just to have more or less text displayed. So to toggle state of a listview item from 2-6 max lines for instance one can do this. And its also animated. Animation dont look exactly smooth but...

                            if(!textDescriptionLenghtToggle) { // simple boolean toggle
