Ability to use UUID instead of long value when expanding

Hi, i've been using your recyclerview, it's very nice, but it would be nice to be able to expand by using UUID instead long, some of my data have unique id's using UUID.

Changing the type is unfortunately not an option. InboxRecyclerView uses whatever type RecyclerView.Adapter#getId() enforces us to use. When you supply an ID to expandItem(Long), it is later uses to fetch the item's information from the adapter. This is also why you're required to override getItemId() and call setHasStableIds(true) on your adapter.

Using IDs of type other than longs is a general practice and you'll have to find to construct Longs out of them.
