The magic is happening in the Adapter that is feeding views to the ListView.

When a ListView is scrolled, it has to display whatever row is next in the data set. Instead of having to do this on their own, ListViews are backed by an Adapter. The ListView essentially asks the adapter for the next view (naming an index value) every time it needs to scroll up or down.

The Adapter can pass the ListView whatever it wants. When the ListView asks for row x (an index value), the Adapter can look at the data set and see that row x should be a special header. The adapter builds or recycles a special header view and passes it to the list view.

See the List View Guide for example code.
