ExpansionTile class

A single-line ListTile with an expansion arrow icon that expands or collapses the tile to reveal or hide the children.

This widget is typically used with ListView to create an "expand / collapse" list entry. When used with scrolling widgets like ListView, a unique PageStorageKey must be specified as the key, to enable the ExpansionTile to save and restore its expanded state when it is scrolled in and out of view.

This class overrides the ListTileThemeData.iconColor and ListTileThemeData.textColor theme properties for its ListTile. These colors animate between values when the tile is expanded and collapsed: between iconColor, collapsedIconColor and between textColor and collapsedTextColor.

The expansion arrow icon is shown on the right by default in left-to-right languages (i.e. the trailing edge). This can be changed using controlAffinity. This maps to the leading and trailing properties of ExpansionTile.

This example demonstrates how the ExpansionTile icon's location and appearance can be customized.
