You can use Transition or Animator that changes visibility of section to be expanded/collapsed, or ConstraintSet with different layouts.
Easiest one is to use motionLayout with 2 different layouts and constraintSets to change from one layout to another on button click. You can change between layouts with
val constraintSet = ConstraintSet()
constraintSet.clone(this, R.layout.layout_collapsed)
val transition = ChangeBounds()
transition.interpolator = AccelerateInterpolator(1.0f)
transition.setDuration(300)
TransitionManager.beginDelayedTransition(YOUR_VIEW, transition)
constraintSet.applyTo(YOUR_VIEW)
With Transition api
RotateX.kt
I created the one in gif using Transitions api that change rotationX.
class RotateX : Transition {
@Keep
constructor() : super()
@Keep
constructor(context: Context, attrs: AttributeSet) : super(context, attrs)
override fun getTransitionProperties(): Array<String> {
return TRANSITION_PROPERTIES
}
override fun captureStartValues(transitionValues: TransitionValues) {
captureValues(transitionValues)
}
override fun captureEndValues(transitionValues: TransitionValues) {
captureValues(transitionValues)
}
override fun createAnimator(
sceneRoot: ViewGroup,
startValues: TransitionValues?,
endValues: TransitionValues?
): Animator? {
if (startValues == null || endValues == null) return null
val startRotation = startValues.values[PROP_ROTATION] as Float
val endRotation = endValues.values[PROP_ROTATION] as Float
if (startRotation == endRotation) return null
val view = endValues.view
// ensure the pivot is set
view.pivotX = view.width / 2f
view.pivotY = view.height / 2f
return ObjectAnimator.ofFloat(view, View.ROTATION_X, startRotation, endRotation)
}
private fun captureValues(transitionValues: TransitionValues) {
val view = transitionValues.view
if (view == null || view.width <= 0 || view.height <= 0) return
transitionValues.values[PROP_ROTATION] = view.rotationX
}
companion object {
private const val PROP_ROTATION = "iosched:rotate:rotation"
private val TRANSITION_PROPERTIES = arrayOf(PROP_ROTATION)
}
}
create xml file that targets expand button
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<transitionSet
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:interpolator="@android:interpolator/fast_out_slow_in">
<transition class="com.smarttoolfactory.tutorial3_1transitions.transition.RotateX">
<targets>
<target android:targetId="@id/ivExpand" />
</targets>
</transition>
<autoTransition android:duration="200" />
</transitionSet>

And set up visibility of items to collapse or expand
private fun setUpExpandedStatus() {
if (isExpanded) {
binding.recyclerView.visibility = View.VISIBLE
binding.ivExpand.rotationX = 180f
} else {
binding.recyclerView.visibility = View.GONE
binding.ivExpand.rotationX = 0f
}
}
And start transition with
val transition = TransitionInflater.from(itemView.context)
.inflateTransition(R.transition.icon_expand_toggle)
TransitionManager.beginDelayedTransition(parent, transition)
isExpanded = !isExpanded
setUpExpandedStatus()
I created animation and transitions samples including the one on the gif, you can check them out there.
