Answer 1

I understood it a little bit. You should add more attribute like header in your model.

If your header = true and in your adapter class, then you have to inflate the layout header.xml. Otherwise, if header = false, then you should inflate your xml file i.e. (TextView,ImageView) as normal.

Here separator in my code is the same as your header

@Override
    public View getView(final int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub

            final recordModel model = records.get(position);
            ViewHolder holder;
             convertView = null;
            holder = new ViewHolder();
            if(records.get(position).getSeparator()==0){
                    convertView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.record_row, null);
                    convertView.setTag(holder);
                    holder.imageView = (ImageView) convertView
                                    .findViewById(R.id.iconCallType);
                    holder.title = (TextView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.title);
                    holder.note = (TextView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.note);
                    holder.checkBox = (CheckBox) convertView.findViewById(R.id.check_box);
                   ..........................
            }else if(records.get(position).getSeparator()==1){
                    convertView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.separator, null);
                    convertView.setTag(holder);
                    holder.title = (TextView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.textSeparator);
                    holder.title.setText(records.get(position).getCallDay());
            }


            return convertView;
    }

You can add your own Header at any specific position using getItemViewType() and getViewTypeCount(). Here is a nice blog that explain everything about using these methods.
