title: Expandable listview - disable recycling of views
body: <p>I am using an Expandable listview in Android and having huge problems with interactive EditTexts within the child items due to Android's recycle policy.</p>
  
  <p>I was wondering if I could somehow disable this recycling (there won't be too many elements there, so performance shouldn't be an issue)?</p>
  
  <p>The problem is that there are duplicates in the EditTexts, i.e. if I type in something in the first EditText, it is possible that in some other EditText the same text appears, or if I collapse and expand a group, the strings in the EditTexts often get mixed up. </p>
  
  <p>Following my code:</p>
  
  <p><strong>EDIT:</strong></p>
  
  <pre><code>@Override
  public View getChildView(final int groupPosition, final int childPosition, boolean isLastChild, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
  ChildItem item = getChild(groupPosition, childPosition);
      String comment = "";
      state = getStatelist().get(groupPosition);
  
      if (convertView == null) {
          holder = new ChildHolder();           
          convertView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.childitem_list_item, parent, false);
          holder.title = (EditText) convertView.findViewById(R.id.textTitle);          
          convertView.setTag(holder);
      } else {
          holder = (ChildHolder) convertView.getTag();
      }
  
      if(state.commentList != null){
          holder.title.setText(state.commentList[childPosition]);
      }
      else{
          holder.title.setText("");
      }
  
      holder.title.addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher() {
          @Override
          public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int before, int count) {
              state = getStatelist().get(groupPosition);
  
              state.commentList[childPosition] = s.toString();                
  
          }
  
          @Override
          public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int count, int after) {
          }
  
          @Override
          public void afterTextChanged(Editable s) {
          }
      });
  }
  
  
  public class States {
  
    public String code = "";
    public String name = "";
    public String[] commentList;
   }
