--Item #2--

 -- January 2016(Divider)--

--item #3--

--item #4--

--item #5--

-- December 2015(Divider)--

--item #6--

--item #7--

.... ....

how I can accomplish this?

Answer 1

Sounds like you just want to have two ViewTypes like explained here

You might also want to take a look at this library and if you want it to be expandable and sexy you could take a look at Advanced RecyclerView library.

Answer 2

You need to first sort them based on the date.

then use either view_type (Is there an addHeaderView equivalent for RecyclerView?) as @G.K mentioned or use any recycler header library to set them as sticky headers.
