B4A Library [B4X] Expander v2 : Expandable CustomListView

Expander : Expandable CustomListView based on Erel's Expandable List View, xCustomListView and XUI

I needed to modify Expandable List View to customize it to my need and hence this Library.

Features:
~ Easy to Configure. No layouts. No Images.
~ Does not use layout. So it is slightly faster with long lists.
~ Accepts CharSequence for Title and Body.
~ Designed for Text items. Add items by defining Title and Body as either Text/Charsequence. Custom Panels can also be added.
~ Auto Resizing based on text. [Put 0 as Collapsed or Expanded Height for auto Resize]
~ Easy to modify Arrow Symbol [ No Image needed (uses FontAwesome) & you can change size and color ]

Hello epiCode,

Can panel with controls instead of long text?

Yes you can!

Every panel in CLV1.getpanel(Index) has a structure like this

MainPanel                    'Returned by CLV1.getPanel(Index)
    PanelTitle                'Returned by CLV1.getPanel(Index).Getview(0)
        LabelTitle            'Returned by CLV1.getPanel(Index).Getview(0).getview(0)
        imgArrow            'Returned by CLV1.getPanel(Index).Getview(0).getview(1)
    LabelBody                'Returned by CLV1.getPanel(Index).Getview(1)

Mainpanel.tag contains expandable type with following structure:
 Type ExpandableItemData (CollapsedHeight As Int, ExpandedHeight As Int, Title As Object, Body As Object, Expanded As Boolean)

It makes sense to do simple modifications here like adding a badge / button "while" retaining text features
If the panel you wish to add is complex and text features are not utilized then it is better to use the original example created by Erel as shared in the link above.
