README
ExpandableTextView 
ExpandableTextView is an Android library that allows developers to easily create an TextView which can expand/collapse just like the Google Play's app description. Feel free to use it all you want in your Android apps provided that you cite this project.
Requirements
API Level 8 (Froyo) and above.
Setup
The library is pushed to Maven Central as an AAR, so you just need to add the followings to your build.gradle file:
dependencies {
compile 'com.ms-square:expandableTextView:0.1.4'
}
Usage
Using the library is really simple, just look at the source code of the provided sample. (Look at the SampleTextListAdapter.java for the use within a ListView)
The important thing to note is that the view Ids for TextView and ImageButton must be set to "@id/expandable_text" and "@id/expand_collapse" respectively for this library to work.
Also, you can optionally set the following attributes in your layout xml file to customize the behavior of the ExpandableTextView.
maxCollapsedLines
(defaults to 8) The maximum number of text lines allowed to be shown when the TextView gets collapsedanimDuration
(defaults to 300ms) Duration of the Animation for the expansion/collapseanimAlphaStart
(defaults to 0.7f) Alpha value of the TextView when the animation starts (NOTE) Set this value to 1 if you want to disable the alpha animation.expandDrawable
Customize a drawable set to ImageButton to expand the TextViewcollapseDrawable
Customize a drawable set to ImageButton to collapse the TextView
