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
