How to generate a ListView with headers above some sections?

by

I got a solution. I don’t know if it is the best one.

I use a custom adapter derived from ArrayAdapter for the list as described in this tutorial. In the adapter class I check if the position in the getView method is a normal row, then I inflate the row layout. If it is the first row from a new group I inflate a headline layout that is a normal row plus the group headline above it.

If you don’t want to mix the header into one of your rows. Consider the following solution:

You can overwrite the two methods getItemViewType and getViewTypeCount.
You now have a list that can display different rows. You need to check the expected view type for the item in the getView Method and inflate different layouts depending on it.

The list will handle the recycling for you in a way that it will return only correct recycle views to your getView method, this means if the recycleView is not null it can be used to display your current cell.
