Making a view's dimensions expand with its animations

Question

So I have a basic "expandable" textview. Basically, what it does is, on the click of the title, it makes a TextView visible and animates it coming in from the top.

My problem is: when I click the title, the "empty space" for the TextView is added and the "content below" is pushed down right away. Is there any way I can make the "content below" slide down as the TextView slides down?

Main Activity

public class MainActivity extends ActionBarActivity {

TextView txt_help_gest;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

    txt_help_gest = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.txt_help_gest);
    // hide until its title is clicked
    txt_help_gest.setVisibility(View.GONE);
}

/**
 * onClick handler
 */
public void toggle_contents(View v) {

    if (txt_help_gest.isShown()) {
        txt_help_gest.setVisibility(View.GONE);
    } else {
        txt_help_gest.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
        Fx.slide_down(this, txt_help_gest);
    }
}
}

FX Class

public class Fx {

public static void slide_down(Context ctx, View v){

      Animation a = AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(ctx, R.anim.slide_down);
      if(a != null){
         a.reset();
         if(v != null){
          v.clearAnimation();
          v.startAnimation(a);
         }
      }
}

}
