how to customize the header in table view_android, (picture is shown)

Question

I am using a table View in my xml. Currently all the rows look the same(shown as the first table), so I want the header to be different to the following rows, such as the 1st table in the picture I tried to set the first row as buttons but they look weird, does anyone got a idea? thanks so much for the help
