Android - accordion widget

Question

I'm looking at best way of creating Accordion-style widget such as on this page Is there a way of achieving same effect using standard Android toolkit or do I need to build custom widget? If so - which one would you recommend extending if any?

Thanks a lot for your suggestions

And in case you still wonder - this can be pretty much done with pair of button/layout stacked inside of the linear layout. Pseudo code follows

<LinearLayout android:orientation="vertical">
    <Button android:text="Panel 1"/>
    <SomeKindOfLayout android:id="@+id/panel1">
            <!-- widgets in first panel go here -->
    </SomeKindOfLayout>
    <Button android:text="Panel 2"/>
    <SomeKindOfLayout android:id="@+id/panel2" android:visibility="gone">
            <!-- widgets in second panel go here -->
    </SomeKindOfLayout>
    <Button android:text="Panel 3"/>
    <SomeKindOfLayout android:id="@+id/panel3" android:visibility="gone">
            <!-- widgets in third panel go here -->
    </SomeKindOfLayout>
    <Button android:text="Panel 4"/>
    <SomeKindOfLayout android:id="@+id/panel4" android:visibility="gone">
            <!-- widgets in fourth panel go here -->
    </SomeKindOfLayout></LinearLayout>

Another thing to possibly try is stacking ExpandableListView-s on top of each other
