     * This method expands the view that was clicked and animates all the views
     * around it to make room for the expanding view. There are several steps
     * required to do this which are outlined below.
     * <p/>
     * 1. Store the current top and bottom bounds of each visible item in the
     * listview. 2. Update the layout parameters of the selected view. In the
     * context of this method, the view should be originally collapsed and set
     * to some custom height. The layout parameters are updated so as to wrap
     * the content of the additional text that is to be displayed.
     * <p/>
     * After invoking a layout to take place, the listview will order all the
     * items such that there is space for each view. This layout will be
     * independent of what the bounds of the items were prior to the layout so
     * two pre-draw passes will be made. This is necessary because after the
     * layout takes place, some views that were visible before the layout may
     * now be off bounds but a reference to these views is required so the
     * animation completes as intended.
     * <p/>
     * 3. The first predraw pass will set the bounds of all the visible items to
     * their original location before the layout took place and then force
     * another layout. Since the bounds of the cells cannot be set directly, the
     * method setSelectionFromTop can be used to achieve a very similar effect.
     * 4. The expanding view's bounds are animated to what the final values
     * should be from the original bounds. 5. The bounds above the expanding
     * view are animated upwards while the bounds below the expanding view are
     * animated downwards. 6. The extra text is faded in as its contents become
     * visible throughout the animation process.
     * <p/>
     * It is important to note that the listview is disabled during the
     * animation because the scrolling behaviour is unpredictable if the bounds
     * of the items within the listview are not constant during the scroll.
