Updating custom card expand UI in cardslib?

Question

This isn't an issue, it's more of a question. I wanted to know when we create a card with custom expand and put that card in a cardslist. When all is the setUpInnerViewElements() called? is it called when we expand the card or is it also called when we touch the card or scroll the list?

And if I am to update the Ui of the card expand at runtime while it is expanded how would you suggest doing this ? Suppose I have button which prompts the user to enter some string and I want to append that string to an existing string in the CardExpand? and at the same time make that string available to all other other cards in their expand views ? Is there any method I override to achieve this ?

Im sorry I cant provide code because its very long and tedious piece of code.

Thanks

The setupInnerViewElements() in an adapter, is called by the standard getView() method inside the adapter.

It is called when the list scrolls, or when you update the adapter for example (when you expand/collapse a card, you update the adapter).

Currently you can't use different layout for the cards in the adapter. Hovewer you can set some values inside the card (model) to enable/disable some elements in the ui (in the setupInnerViewElements).

If you would like to update runtime the ui, you have to update the values inside the cards in you adapter.
