The default behavior of ExpandableListView is to collapse a group when its header is clicked. Is it possible to prevent this from happening? I've tried: Setting OnTouchListener on the list. This interferes with scrolling. Setting an OnGroupClickListener on the list (in onCreate() ). This works for all clicks after the first. Has anyone else accomplished this? Why might the OnGroupClickListener miss the first click? Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

Disable collapsing of ExpandableListView

The default behavior of ExpandableListView is to collapse a group when its header is clicked. Is it possible to prevent this from happening?

Setting an OnGroupClickListener on the list (in onCreate()). This works for all clicks after the first.

Has anyone else accomplished this? Why might the OnGroupClickListener miss the first click?
