Easiest approach

You can implement ExpandableListView.OnGroupExpandListener, in where you run collapseGroup() for all list groups except the one being clicked. This will do what you want.

 expandableList.setOnGroupExpandListener(new OnGroupExpandListener() {
        int previousGroup = -1;

        @Override
        public void onGroupExpand(int groupPosition) {
            if(groupPosition != previousGroup)
                expandableList.collapseGroup(previousGroup);
            previousGroup = groupPosition;
        }
    });
