If you already have a RecyclerView, an easy way to implement the sections is using Gabriele Mariotti's SimpleSectionedRecyclerViewAdapter.

I paste you his 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);
