Introduction

Easy to use ListView with pinned sections for Android. Pinned section is a view which sticks to the top of the list until another view of same type dispaces it.

Watch this video to see PinnedSectionListView in action.

Usage

  1. Replace standard ListView with com.hb.views.PinnedSectionListView in your layout.xml file.

    <com.hb.views.PinnedSectionListView
    android:id="@android:id/list"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
    />

  2. Extend your ListAdapter in a way that it implements PinnedSectionListAdapter interface, in addition to what it already implements. Basically you need to add a single isItemViewTypePinned(int viewType) method. This method must return true for all view types which have to be pinned.

    // Our adapter class implements 'PinnedSectionListAdapter' interface
class MyPinnedSectionListAdapter extends BaseAdapter implements PinnedSectionListAdapter {

     ...
   
     // We implement this method to return 'true' for all view types we want to pin
     @Override
     public boolean isItemViewTypePinned(int viewType) {
         return viewType == <type to be pinned>;
     }
}

That's all. You are done! A working example can also be found in example folder.
