Use an Adapter that implements SectionIndexer.

And have your ListView have setFastScrollEnabled(true).

Plenty of tutorials about that around the web, even Google samples I think.

Here is a tutorial I liked about SectionIndexer.

My code works exactly like this. But this is not shows the alphabet on the right side of the screen like on my picture. It just show one character if i scroll. – László Magyar Dec 18 '14 at 07:01
Yes, that is the Android way of doing it. What you ask is to port an iOS UI/UX design to Android... – shkschneider Dec 18 '14 at 09:03

Android doesn't natively support showing the alphabet on the side of a ListView. To do this, you'll need a library. You'd probably want something like this or that.
