   mExpandableListAdapter = new ExpandableListAdapter(this, mGroupList, mChildList);
   mExpandableListView.setAdapter(mExpandableListAdapter);
   mExpandableListView.setOnGroupClickListener(this);
   mExpandableListView.setOnChildClickListener(this);

   @Override
   public boolean onGroupClick(ExpandableListView parent, View v, int groupPosition, long id) {
       if (mExpandableListView.isGroupExpanded(groupPosition)) {
           mExpandableListView.collapseGroupWithAnimation(groupPosition);
       } else {
           mExpandableListView.expandGroupWithAnimation(groupPosition);

   */
   @Override
   public void onGroupExpand(int groupPosition) {
       if (lastExpandedPosition != -1
               && groupPosition != lastExpandedPosition) {
           mExpandableListView.collapseGroup(lastExpandedPosition);
