Answer 1

Use any stick header list view.
For reference you can use this one.

and you can customize the section header view xml as your desire even like whatsapp containing date or any other way you want.

If it helps you, mark my ans. as up.

Yes you can do that using the same library what they used in that link you gave.Just try differentiating things with date where they did with alphabats. Let me know if you need any assistance. Please mark this up if this helps.
