## What it is
An Android library providing a SectioningAdapter and StickyHeaderLayoutManager for RecyclerView that pins section headers to the top while scrolling. It also offers callbacks for header position changes, such as adding elevation when a header becomes sticky.

## Use cases
- show sticky section headers in a RecyclerView
- build an address book grouped by last name initial
- create a sectioned settings-style list
- add drop shadows when headers become sticky
- group list items into sections with pinned headers

## When to choose
- you need section headers that stay pinned during scrolling in an Android RecyclerView
- you want a sectioned adapter compatible with a normal LinearLayoutManager

## When to avoid
- you are not building an Android app
- you need a library with frequent updates or active maintenance
