contacts

I am developing an application with a large number of elements that must be ordered alphabetically, and I'd like it to have the same look and feel as android's contact list, That is

[Letter]
<contact>
<contact>
[Letter]
<contact>
<contact>
<contact>

etc.

Which is the best way to achieve this same layout? I've seen several tutorials concerning scrollable lists, but this is a bit different. I've looked a bit through android's source code, but if anyone has the answer, it would save me a lot of time.

Thanks in advance.
