OnExpandCollapse is used to change the IsExpand property to expand or collapse the item.

public class ItemInfoRepository
{
    public Command<object> ExpandCollapse{ get; set; }

    public ItemInfoRepository()
    {
        ExpandCollapse= new Command<object>(OnExpandCollapse);
    }

    private void OnExpandCollapse (object obj)
    {
        var item = (obj as Button).BindingContext as ItemInfo;
        item.IsExpand = !item.IsExpand;
    }
}
