Title: ExpansionTile

Summary: An ExpansionTile for building nested lists, with two or more levels.

Description:
This app displays hierarchical data with ExpansionTiles. Tapping a tile
expands or collapses the view of its children. When a tile is collapsed
its children are disposed so that the widget footprint of the list only
reflects what's visible.

When displayed within a scrollable that creates its list items lazily,
like a scrollable list created with `ListView.builder()`, ExpansionTiles
can be quite efficient, particularly for material design "expand/collapse"
lists.


Classes: ExpansionTile, ListView

Sample: ExpansionTileSample
