How to make always visible headers of rows in RowsFragment - android-fragments

Question

Here is what i have now.
Simply my RowsFragment is look like this,
public static class SampleFragmentB extends RowsFragment {
private final ArrayObjectAdapter mRowsAdapter;
public SampleFragmentB() {
mRowsAdapter = new ArrayObjectAdapter(new ShadowRowPresenterSelector());
setAdapter(mRowsAdapter);
setOnItemViewClickedListener(new OnItemViewClickedListener() {
#Override
public void onItemClicked(
Presenter.ViewHolder itemViewHolder,
Object item,
RowPresenter.ViewHolder rowViewHolder,
Row row) {
Toast.makeText(getActivity(), "Implement click handler", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT)
.show();
}
});
}
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
createRows();
getMainFragmentAdapter().getFragmentHost().notifyDataReady(getMainFragmentAdapter());
}
private void createRows() {
String json = Utils.inputStreamToString(getResources().openRawResource(
R.raw.page_row_example));
CardRow[] rows = new Gson().fromJson(json, CardRow[].class);
for (CardRow row : rows) {
mRowsAdapter.add(createCardRow(row));
}
}
private Row createCardRow(CardRow cardRow) {
PresenterSelector presenterSelector = new CardPresenterSelector(getActivity());
ArrayObjectAdapter adapter = new ArrayObjectAdapter(presenterSelector);
for (Card card : cardRow.getCards()) {
adapter.add(card);
}
HeaderItem headerItem = new HeaderItem(cardRow.getTitle());
return new CardListRow(headerItem, adapter, cardRow);
}
}
This is what i exactly want to do,
So I want to make always visible Header of each row without selecting into or focusing into RowsFragment. I'am using leanback v24 to add multiple rows into each header item.

You might want to check the Sofa library for Android TV that extends the Leanback library capabilities by offering a set of more powerful features. In BrowseSupportFragment, mRowsFragment.setExpand should be true. Additional reference: how to always show headers in RowsFragment
