Solution

adapter is null, because you not initialize that, you have following code:

CustomAdapter adapter= new CustomAdapter(MainActivity.this, a_list);
adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();

in above code you create adapter in local but you try call adapter that you declare on top of class in onTextChanged:

  CustomAdapter adapter;

so change :

CustomAdapter adapter= new CustomAdapter(MainActivity.this, a_list);

to 

adapter= new CustomAdapter(MainActivity.this, a_list);

OTHER TIPS

Then possibly adapter is null. Seems like you should add below line after for loop

CustomAdapter<MyModel> adapter = new CustomAdapter(MainActivity.this, CustomAdapter.modellist);

and then say

MainActivity.this.adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
