FloatingGroupExpandableListView is a huge name an open source Android library that provides a floating group view (aka anchored / pinned / sticky section header) at the top of the ExpandableListView. This lib is based on Emil Sjölander's StickyListHeaders.

• Works with list headers, footers, dividers and padding.
• Works with partially transparent or hidden group views.
• Handles touch events on the floating group view properly.
• Allows group transition animation.

Download the sample app on Google Play. (Soon)

The sample app project code is also included on this repository.

The FloatingGroupExpandableListView is very easy to setup. You just need a few steps:

1. Add the FloatingGroupExpandableListView to your xml file. It will look something like this:

   <com.diegocarloslima.fgelv.lib.FloatingGroupExpandableListView
   android:id="@+id/my_list"
   android:layout_width="match_parent"
   android:layout_height="match_parent"/>

2. Then add these lines to your java code (usually on your Activity.onCreate() or Fragment.onCreateView() method):

   FloatingGroupExpandableListView myList = (FloatingGroupExpandableListView) findViewById(R.id.my_list);
   BaseExpandableListAdapter myAdapter = new MyAdapter();
   WrapperExpandableListAdapter wrapperAdapter = new WrapperExpandableListAdapter(myAdapter);
   myList.setAdapter(wrapperAdapter);

3. That's it! You're ready to go! For a complete implementation, you can take a look at the sample project.

Let me know if you are using this lib in your app. I'll be glad to put your app name here :).

Pull requests with bug fixes or new features are always welcome :), but please, send me a separate pull request for each bug fix or feature. Also, you can contact me to discuss a new feature before implementing it.
