How to add date separators in recycler view using Paging Library?

Question

After a lot of searching, I know its possible with regular adapter, but I have no idea how to do it using Paging Library. I don`t need code just a clue.

Example

Answer 1

When binding the data pass in the previous item as well

  override fun onBindViewHolder(holder: ViewHolder, position: Int) {
    val item = getItem(position)
    val previousItem = if (position == 0) null else getItem(position - 1)
    holder.bind(item, previousItem)
  }

Every view then sets a header, which is only made visible if the previous item doesn't have the same header.

    val previousHeader =  previousItem?.name?.capitalize().first()
    val header = item?.name?.capitalize()?.first()
    view.cachedContactHeader.text = header
    view.cachedContactHeader.isVisible  = previousHeader != header
