## What it is
A Java library for Android that wraps RecyclerView.Adapter to split lists into sections with headers and footers. Each section can independently manage loading, loaded, failed, and empty states.

## Use cases
- display grouped lists with section headers in a recyclerview
- add footers to sections of an android list
- show loading, failed, or empty states per section
- split recyclerview data into multiple sections
- build grid layouts with section headers
- implement sectioned lists in an android app

## When to choose
- you need sectioned RecyclerView lists with per-section state in a Java Android project
- you want a mature, well-documented adapter wrapper for headers and footers

## When to avoid
- you are starting a new project, since the repository is archived and unmaintained
- you use Kotlin and prefer a modern, actively maintained alternative
- you need AndroidX support beyond the final v3.x release

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: abandoned
- function: ui-components, state-management
- domain: mobile-development, android-tools, frontend
- platform: -
- tags: recyclerview, adapter, sections, headers, footers, java, androidx, archived, android, mobile
