dependencies {
    implementation 'kr.co.prnd:readmore-textview:x.x.x'
    //implementation 'kr.co.prnd:readmore-textview:1.0.0'    
}

Step 2: Add to Layout

Add it to your xml layout:

<kr.co.prnd.readmore.ReadMoreTextView
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:text="@string/long_text"
    app:readMoreColor="@color/colorPrimary"
    app:readMoreMaxLine="4"
    app:readMoreText="…More" />

toggle(), expand(), collapse(): Change expand/collapse state dynamically
isExpanded, isCollased, state: Get state
ChangeListener: Observe state change using listener

Example 1: ReadMoreTextView

Here is a full example. This example will comprise the following files:

MainActivity.kt

Step 1: Create Project

Open your AndroidStudio IDE.
Go to File-->New-->Project to create a new project.

Step 2: Add Dependencies

Install it as has been described above.

Step 3: Design Layouts

*(a). activity_main.xml

Create a file named activity_main.xml and design it as follows:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    tools:context=".MainActivity">

    <kr.co.prnd.readmore.ReadMoreTextView
        android:id="@+id/readMoreTextView"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_margin="16dp"
        android:foreground="?attr/selectableItemBackground"
        android:text="@string/long_text"
        app:readMoreColor="@color/colorPrimary"
        app:readMoreMaxLine="4"
        app:readMoreText="…더보기" />

</LinearLayout>

Step 4: Write Code

Write Code as follows:

(a). MainActivity.kt

Create a file named MainActivity.kt

Add the ReadMoreTextView in your xml layout then reference

        val readMoreTextView: ReadMoreTextView = findViewById(R.id.readMoreTextView)

Attach a Change Listener to it then override the onStateChange() callback

        readMoreTextView.changeListener = object : ReadMoreTextView.ChangeListener {
            override fun onStateChange(state: ReadMoreTextView.State) {
                Log.d("prnd", "state: $state")
            }
        }

Here is the full code

package kr.co.prnd.readmore.demo

import android.os.Bundle
import android.util.Log
import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity
import kr.co.prnd.readmore.ReadMoreTextView

class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() {
    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main)

        val readMoreTextView: ReadMoreTextView = findViewById(R.id.readMoreTextView)
        readMoreTextView.changeListener = object : ReadMoreTextView.ChangeListener {
            override fun onStateChange(state: ReadMoreTextView.State) {
                Log.d("prnd", "state: $state")
            }
        }

    }
}
