How to dynamically create children in expandablelistview by clicking parent node in android

Question

I am very new to android, so can anyone very easily explain how to make dynamicList dynamic by clicking on the parent?

My problem: I have some static parent in an expandablelistview. My intention is that when I select a parent to see its child, the child will form a database dynamically and they will be available for navigation (I want to see more detailed information or go to another page.)

I made a static child in three steps.

• Create an XML file with the listview extension.
• On the main java call adapter
• Associate an adapter with a list extension. create a custom adapter.

Adapter:

package com.example.eschool_only_accrdion_straggle;

import android.R.color;
import android.content.Context;
import android.graphics.Color;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
import android.widget.BaseExpandableListAdapter;
import android.widget.TextView;

public class My_custom_adapter extends BaseExpandableListAdapter {

    private Context context;

    String [] parentList={"Summer Fruit", "Winter Fruit", "Hard fruit", "Watery Fruit"};
    // String [][] childList={{"Lychy", "Mango"},{"Banana"},{"Pomy Granade"},{"pani Fruit"}};


    public My_custom_adapter(Context context) {
        this.context = context;
    }

    // In Here 1st Parameter is for PARENT and 2nd one is for CHILD

    @Override
    public Object getChild(int groupPosition, int childPosition) { 
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        return null;
    }

    @Override
    public long getChildId(int groupPosition, int childPosition) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        return 0;
    }

    @Override
    public View getChildView(int groupPosition, int childPosition, 
            boolean arg2, View arg3, ViewGroup arg4) {

        TextView TxtV_child=new TextView(context);
        TxtV_child.setText(childList[groupPosition][childPosition]);
        TxtV_child.setPadding(35, 0, 0, 0);
        TxtV_child.setTextColor(Color.CYAN);
        TxtV_child.setTextSize(17);
        return TxtV_child;
    }

    @Override
    public int getChildrenCount(int groupPosition) {

        return childList[groupPosition].length;
    }

    @Override
    public Object getGroup(int groupPosition) {

        return groupPosition;
    }

    @Override
    public int getGroupCount() {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        return parentList.length;
    }

    @Override
    public long getGroupId(int groupPosition) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        return groupPosition;
    }

    @Override
    public View getGroupView(int groupPosition, boolean childPosition, View arg2, ViewGroup arg3) {
        TextView TxtV_Parent=new TextView(context);
        TxtV_Parent.setText(parentList[groupPosition]);
        TxtV_Parent.setPadding(5, 5, 0, 5);
        TxtV_Parent.setTextColor(Color.MAGENTA);
        TxtV_Parent.setTextSize(25);
        return TxtV_Parent;
    }

    @Override
    public boolean hasStableIds() {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        return false;
    }

    @Override
    public boolean isChildSelectable(int groupPosition, int childPosition) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        return true;
    }

}

, "ExpandableListActivity",

private ArrayList<String> groups = new ArrayList<String>() ;
private ArrayList<ArrayList<String>> children; 
private NewAdapter mNewAdapter = null;

public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

    // ....

    ArrayList<String> a = new ArrayList<String>();
    a.add("Lychy");

isChildSelectable (int groupPosition, int childPosition), "true".
