You can use this class to realize a simple sectioned RecyclerView.Adapter without changing your code.
The RecyclerView should use a LinearLayoutManager.
You can use this code also with the TwoWayView with the ListLayoutManager (https://github.com/lucasr/twoway-view)
This is a porting of the class SimpleSectionedListAdapter provided by Google
Example:
        //Your RecyclerView
        mRecyclerView = (RecyclerView) findViewById(R.id.list);
        mRecyclerView.setHasFixedSize(true);
        mRecyclerView.setLayoutManager(new LinearLayoutManager(this));
        mRecyclerView.addItemDecoration(new DividerItemDecoration(this,LinearLayoutManager.VERTICAL));
        
        //Your RecyclerView.Adapter
        mAdapter = new SimpleAdapter(this,sCheeseStrings);
        //This is the code to provide a sectioned list
        List<SimpleSectionedRecyclerViewAdapter.Section> sections =
                new ArrayList<SimpleSectionedRecyclerViewAdapter.Section>();
        
        //Sections
        sections.add(new SimpleSectionedRecyclerViewAdapter.Section(0,"Section 1"));
        sections.add(new SimpleSectionedRecyclerViewAdapter.Section(5,"Section 2"));
        sections.add(new SimpleSectionedRecyclerViewAdapter.Section(12,"Section 3"));
        sections.add(new SimpleSectionedRecyclerViewAdapter.Section(14,"Section 4"));
        sections.add(new SimpleSectionedRecyclerViewAdapter.Section(20,"Section 5"));
        //Add your adapter to the sectionAdapter
        SimpleSectionedRecyclerViewAdapter.Section[] dummy = new SimpleSectionedRecyclerViewAdapter.Section[sections.size()];
        SimpleSectionedRecyclerViewAdapter mSectionedAdapter = new
                  SimpleSectionedRecyclerViewAdapter(this,R.layout.section,R.id.section_text,mAdapter);
        mSectionedAdapter.setSections(sections.toArray(dummy));
        //Apply this adapter to the RecyclerView
        mRecyclerView.setAdapter(mSectionedAdapter);You can customize the section layout, changing the layout section.xml and changing the code in the SimpleSectionedRecyclerViewAdapter.SectionViewHolder class and SimpleSectionedRecyclerViewAdapter#onBindViewHolder method.
