Easy to use ListView with pinned sections for Android 2.1 and higher. Pinned section is a header view which sticks to the top
of the list until at least one item of that section is visible.
This list properly implements many features which are missing from other implementations. These are
Fast scroll
Headers and footers
Clickable pinned sections
Besides this it doesn't create any unnecessary views, layouts etc. It's really lean.
Watch this video to see PinnedSectionListView in action.
Usage example
Replace standard ListView with de.halfbit.pinnedsection.PinnedSectionListView in your layout.xml file.
android:id="@android:id/list"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
/>
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 == ;
}
}
That's all. You are done! A working example can also be found in example folder.
Use with Gradle
Add this to your module-level build.gradle:
dependencies {
compile "de.halfbit:pinned-section-listview:1.0.0"
}
