How to Implement a Multi-Level ExpandableListView with Hierarchy: Plant → Department & Section → Line → Devices in Android

I am working on an Android project where I need to implement a hierarchical structure using an ExpandableListView. Currently, I have implemented a two-level hierarchy: Plant → Devices. Now, I want to expand this hierarchy to include additional levels as follows:" Plant → Department-Section → Line → Devices

I want to extend my current hierarchy to support four levels: Plant → Department-Section → Line → Devices. Here's how the hierarchy should look

Plant1
   └── Department1-Section1
       ├── Line1
       │   ├── Device1
       │   └── Device2
       └── Line2
           ├── Device3
           └── Device4
   └── Department2-Section2
       ├── Line3
           ├── Device5
           └── Device6

I am not sure how to structure the data and create a custom adapter that can handle this four-level hierarchy. Since ExpandableListView natively supports only two levels (Group and Child),

I need guidance on how to:

I have considered using multiple ExpandableListViews or embedding a RecyclerView inside the child view for additional levels, but I'm unsure about the best approach for performance and scalability. I have not yet been able to integrate the three additional levels (Department-Section, Line, and Device)

Data Structure:

To represent the four-level hierarchy,we can use a recursive data structure like a custom class

public class HierarchicalItem {
   private String title;
   private boolean isExpanded;
   private  List<HierarchicalItem> children;

    public HierarchicalItem(String title){
     this .title=title;
     this.isExpanded = false;
     this.children =new Arraylist<>(); 

  }
  //getter ,setter 
 }

Additional point: Populate the rootItems list witj your Hierarchical data.
