I will let you know in brief.

Create a class extends RelativeLayout implements OnTouchListener

Define a strings of alphabets

Find the screen height of list view

Create dyanamic textviews count same as number of alphabets, height of textView ==> screenWidth / alphabets.

Override onTouch method .

Find the textview which is currently selected//Offset.

Create a handler for sending the event to mainList

Call Listview setSelectionFromTop method pass the position.

Its done...
