What it is AI-extracted, prompt v1, taxonomy v1, 2026-08-29, confidence not recorded

An Android library providing a TextView that can expand and collapse text like Google Play's app descriptions. It is now deprecated and unmaintained, with the README recommending Jetpack Compose instead.

Use cases

  • show a long text preview that expands on tap like Google Play app descriptions
  • collapse lengthy descriptions in a ListView item
  • add expand/collapse behavior to TextViews in an Android app
  • limit text to a maximum number of collapsed lines with an expand button

When to choose

  • maintaining a legacy Android app already using the View system with this dependency
  • you need a drop-in expandable TextView for very old API levels

When to avoid

  • starting a new Android project, especially with Jetpack Compose
  • you need actively maintained or supported software
  • your min SDK is modern and you can implement expandable text with a simple Composable
