Custom List View With Custom Headers Android

Question

I have to make a custom list view with custom header, ( different text in each headers) and different number of items below each header. I have been going through various section indexing examples but I think they are not relevant much to my answer.

Anybody please suggest me a good means to move around such type of list view in android.

enter image description here

Wow, this SO question's answers have to be the worst answers I have ever come across on SO. Every single answer is a link to either a tutorial or a 3rd party library. None of the answers have bothered to explain how to do it. Also no guarantee that the links won't be dead in the future. — sudoExclaimationExclaimation, Jan 25 '19 at 22:46

This might be a duplicate of Android Listview with sections

There are lots of different ones out there. One example is: http://w2davids.wordpress.com/android-sectioned-headers-in-listviews which uses: http://jsharkey.org/blog/2008/08/18/separating-lists-with-headers-in-android-09

That one allows you to pass in different array adapters for each section so that you can have different layouts for each section's items.

If you were more clear about what the ones you have seen fail to do that you need it would be easier to offer you something you haven't seen.

For a more complex design with sections in list, you should try this very standard library : https://github.com/emilsjolander/StickyListHeaders.

Other alternatives mentionned are great.

I should mention that the only drawback of this library is a poor mavenization and its absence on central.

Dont always opt for libraries while they help and aid development ...3rd party libraries may open up security holes. – auracool Nov 27 '14 at 14:30
