I knew this. The problem is that in this project he's using a normal listview, not a recyclerview. In this case it's easier to implement this, but i don't know what to do in our case...
Thanks

Please see the doc for RecyclerView. Sorry but I think it's not good to explain about the detail of Android development here.
