Usage

Step 1. Add the JitPack repository to your build file
Add it in your root build.gradle at the end of repositories:
allprojects {
   repositories {
	...
	maven { url "https://jitpack.io" }
   }
}
Step 2. Add the dependency
dependencies {
   compile 'com.github.IntruderShanky:Sectioned-RecyclerView:2.1.1'
}

Implementation

There are very easy and simple steps to implement.

Step 1. Add RecyclerView in layout file:
<android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView
   android:id="@+id/recycler_view"
   android:layout_width="match_parent"
   android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
Step 2. Create another layout file for Section Header:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:paddingTop="26dp"
    android:paddingLeft="16dp"
    android:paddingRight="16dp"
    android:orientation="vertical">

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/section"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="16sp"
        android:textSize="16sp"
        android:textStyle="bold"/>
    <View
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="1dp"
        android:layout_marginTop="5dp"
        android:background="#88424242"/>
</LinearLayout>
Step 3. Create another layout file for Section Child:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:paddingLeft="8dp"
    android:orientation="vertical">

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/child"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:textSize="16sp"
        android:text="mc sjcnscdj "
        android:padding="8dp"
        android:fontFamily="sans-serif-condensed"/>

</LinearLayout>
Step 4. Create a class for Section Child and named it. Here "Child.java"
public class Child {

    String name;

    public Child(String name) {
        this.name = name;
    }

    public String getName() {
        return name;
    }
}
Step 5. Create a class for Section Header and implement it with Section. Here "Section.java"
public class SectionHeader implements Section<Child> {

    List<Child> childList;
    String sectionText;

    public SectionHeader(List<Child> childList, String sectionText) {
        this.childList = childList;
        this.sectionText = sectionText;
    }

    @Override
    public List<Child> getChildItems() {
        return childList;
    }

    public String getSectionText() {
        return sectionText;
    }
}
Step 6. Create a two ViewHolder classes to hold the views of section and child.
public class SectionViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder {

    TextView name;
    public SectionViewHolder(View itemView) {
        super(itemView);
         name = (TextView) itemView.findViewById(R.id.section);
    }
}
public class ChildViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder {

    TextView name;
    public ChildViewHolder(View itemView) {
        super(itemView);
        name = (TextView) itemView.findViewById(R.id.child);
    }
}
Step 7. Create a Adater for RecyclerView. Here "AdapterSectionRecycler.java"
public class AdapterSectionRecycler extends SectionRecyclerViewAdapter<SectionHeader, Child, SectionViewHolder, ChildViewHolder> {

    Context context;

    public AdapterSectionRecycler(Context context, List<SectionHeader> sectionItemList) {
        super(context, sectionItemList);
        this.context = context;
    }

    @Override
    public SectionViewHolder onCreateSectionViewHolder(ViewGroup sectionViewGroup, int viewType) {
        View view = LayoutInflater.from(context).inflate(R.layout.section_item, sectionViewGroup, false);
        return new SectionViewHolder(view);
    }

    @Override
    public ChildViewHolder onCreateChildViewHolder(ViewGroup childViewGroup, int viewType) {
        View view = LayoutInflater.from(context).inflate(R.layout.item_layout, childViewGroup, false);
        return new ChildViewHolder(view);
    }

    @Override
    public void onBindSectionViewHolder(SectionViewHolder sectionViewHolder, int sectionPosition, SectionHeader section) {
        sectionViewHolder.name.setText(section.sectionText);
    }

    @Override
    public void onBindChildViewHolder(ChildViewHolder childViewHolder, int sectionPosition, int childPosition, Child child) {
        childViewHolder.name.setText(child.getName());
    }
}
Step 8. Here complete code of your Activity Class, Here "MainActivity.java"
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    RecyclerView recyclerView;
    AdapterSectionRecycler adapterRecycler;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        //initialize RecyclerView
        recyclerView = (RecyclerView) findViewById(R.id.recycler_view);

        //setLayout Manager
        LinearLayoutManager linearLayoutManager = new LinearLayoutManager(this);
        recyclerView.setLayoutManager(linearLayoutManager);
        recyclerView.setHasFixedSize(true);

        //Create a List of Child DataModel
        List<Child> childList = new ArrayList<>();
        childList.add(new Child("April"));
        childList.add(new Child("Austin"));
        childList.add(new Child("Alex"));
        childList.add(new Child("Aakash"));

        //Create a List of Section DataModel implements Section
        List<SectionHeader> sections = new ArrayList<>();
        sections.add(new SectionHeader(childList, "A"));

        childList = new ArrayList<>();
        childList.add(new Child("Bill Gates"));
        childList.add(new Child("Bob Proctor"));
        childList.add(new Child("Bryan Tracy"));
        sections.add(new SectionHeader(childList, "B"));

        childList = new ArrayList<>();
        childList.add(new Child("Intruder Shanky"));
        childList.add(new Child("Invincible Vinod"));
        sections.add(new SectionHeader(childList, "I"));

        childList = new ArrayList<>();
        childList.add(new Child("Jim Carry"));
        sections.add(new SectionHeader(childList, "J"));

        childList = new ArrayList<>();
        childList.add(new Child("Neil Patrick Harris"));
        sections.add(new SectionHeader(childList, "N"));

        childList = new ArrayList<>();
        childList.add(new Child("Orange"));
        childList.add(new Child("Olive"));
        sections.add(new SectionHeader(childList, "O"));

        adapterRecycler = new AdapterSectionRecycler(this, sections);
        recyclerView.setAdapter(adapterRecycler);
    }
}

Data Change Methods

insertNewSection(Section)
insertNewSection(Section, int)
removeSection(int)
insertNewChild(Object, int)
insertNewChild(Object, int, int)
removeChild(int, int)

/* To notify the adapter for data change 
 * call notifyDataChanged(List) instead of 
 * notiftDatasetChanged()
 */ 
notifyDataChanged(List)
