How do I implement a sectioned list in Android?

Question

I have a search feature which displays results in a ListView. I'm finding it difficult to implement an alphabetical sectioned list. Please give me idea of how to do it.

You can find bunch of this topic using Google. Here some best tutorial in my opinion. Basically you use SectionIndexer to create an index and show(or hide) view in getView method of your adapter.
