I am doing a small Android game where the user needs to assign two players to two teams. My plan is to use a recycler view which lists all existing players (which are stored in a local database).

The items in the recycler view will be possible to reorder. The first two items in the recycler view will be assigned to team A and the next two items will be assigned to team B. The remaining players will not be considered in a team. The implementation of this logic will be fine, there are also enough examples in the web.

But in order to indicate this logic to the user, I would like to offer him some kind of boxes which indidcate the teams. Like in the following wireframe:

Does anybody have an advice how this should be done? Should I put a View above the recycler view? Alternatively, I am also open for alternative approaches to assign exactly two players (uniquely) to two teams.

You need to place these Divider backgrounds below recyclerview, calculate heights of these items and place it accordingly.

If you want use RecyclerView, you need to include divider in item view, or make divider as item itself.
