Adding textview below each group of items in listview

Question

First of all,I am sorry if my question is meaningless or wrong.

I need to add textview as the footer view to listview ,and that footer view should be repeated for particular number of items.

For example,

If I am having 50 items in a list, whenever I am displaying it in listview , the textview should be displayed below the each group of 10 items (That is the textview should separate 10 items).

Can anyone help me please. I don't even know "using footer view to achieve this is right or not". Thanks!

You can add footerview to listview have a look at this solution https://stackoverflow.com/a/4265324/4824088 — Mohamed Mohaideen AH, Nov 16 '17 at 08:40
If above solution works with fixed footerview if you want n no of seperator add custom view in between the position(11,21,31,41) using adapter class — Mohamed Mohaideen AH, Nov 16 '17 at 08:42

You could @Override getItemViewType and return 2 type of views based on the position (you set a condition there). Also, in onBindViewHolder (if you use a Recyclerview, and I suggest you to do that) you will check which view was returned and what data to fetch. This post should help you understand perfectly.

Thanks, I just add textview to the layout and make it visible when the condition is satisfied in my adapter. – Jyoti JK Nov 16 '17 at 09:05
Sure, you could do that, but you might find that sometimes doesn't work as you expected, and here I mean upon scrolling. But is your call, Glad I could help – Ionut J. Bejan Nov 16 '17 at 09:08
yeah,if number of items is increased in listview, It doesn't work as what i need :( – Jyoti JK Nov 16 '17 at 09:12
So go for my solution, I used same thing on a `RecyclerView` for a chat actually. Had two cases, `message received` and `message sent`. Number of items was changing and it worked like a charm – Ionut J. Bejan Nov 16 '17 at 09:15

First @override below function in your adapter

 @Override
    public int getItemViewType(int position) {
        if (position == 0) return 1;
        else return 2;
    }
 }

After that check returning positions in @onBindViewHolder and manage your data according to that. Hope this will help you.
