icon Expandable View

Hello everyone, I am here with my new extension that is Expandable View. This extension helps you to expand or collapse the view with some customisations. This is based on the Expandable Layout published in Github. This extension does not increase or decrease the height or width of the layout as my Expand Collapse View do. This extension expand or collapse the view with animations API that don’t modify height or width of the component. When we modify the height or width of the component that their child components are much effected. This extension don’t affect them and works like professional.

Usage

The extension is very simple to use as I said always to my all extensions.

blocks (13)

You just need to create the expand layout in a container with header or content views and a unique id. And your layout is ready and now you can play with it.

blocks (14)

Then just use Expand or Collapse block to toggle the expandable layout.

In the same way this can be used in dynamic components too. I posted a demo AIA on download section that contains some usage with dynamic components and simple layouts.

Version 2

Version 2 of the extension is here.

Whats’s New

This is a very small update and brings only one thing. Now you can make the expand layout above of the header view with both orientations. It means, before this update you can make the expandable layout only below the header view and can only expanded at down direction. But now you can make the expandable layout above the header view that will be expanded at up direction (if there is space to expand).

Block Added

component_method

This block has same parameters and same work as CreateLayout block. It just create the expandable layout before the header view or above the header view. I could add a extra parameter to old CreateLayout block but it could break your whole block s(if you used this extension in your project) that’s why I have added a new block with almost same name and parameters. I think I could have give it a better name to this block but nothing comes in my mind so I just named it First as it create the expandable layout first than the header view :sweat_smile: . You can use it in same way as you used the CreateLayout block.

Please elaborate your issue. I could not find the issue by reading only not working. Your blocks seems good to me. What output you are getting? And what’s not working?

What do you want to show us with this video? It has nothing to see related to your issue.

17

Should I dm you my aia ? Your expand collapse view is working fine for me but with this extension there is much issue

18

Add some more transition animations. open close accordian animations.

Getting an error.
Attempt to read from field ‘com.sumit1334.expandablelayout.repack.b com.summit1334.expandablelayout.repack.a.a’ on a null object reference

It appears to be related to the IsExpanded block. When I removed those the error went away.
