How to simply add header in a Listview ?

Question

I made a listView, now is there a simple way to add hearders in it ? For example, make something like this

List.add("a")
list.addheader("Number")
list.add("1")
.
.
Widget_List_Adapter adapter = new Widget_List_Adapter(this, list);
.
.
.
setListAdapter(adapter);

Answer 1

Try using ListView#addHeaderView().

As a warning, you must call this method before calling setAdapter() or setListAdapter(), just like your pseudo-code example.

Answer 2

you could define a layout with a header layout followed by the listview. in the header layout you can define a textview that you can change in your code

Answer 3

The addHeaderView() option only works to add a static header at the top of your list. If you want to add section headers, you'll have to do a considerable amount of extra work. This question should lead you down the proper path to make that happen.

Answer 4

There's no section List(Table) View in Android, you can just add one top header, but if you want to make something like sectioned table view like IOS, here are some better resources.
