Working with ExpandableListView is very complex, so to make things simpler I will explain you how to use this ListView in few simple steps. This example will display 3 category of vehicles in a ExpandableList.
Firstly we will create the Layout files for Main Activity, GroupView and ChildView Layout.
MainActivity: main.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<ExpandableListView
android:id="@+id/listView"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent" >
</ExpandableListView>
</LinearLayout>
