You can use this class to realize a simple sectioned `RecyclerView.Adapter` without changing your code. The `RecyclerView` should use a `LinearLayoutManager`. Example: ```java //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 sections = new ArrayList(); //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.
