Searching a listview with custom adapter

Question

My app has a twoline ListView with a custom adapter. I want to filter the listview contents with the input to a EditText. How is it possible?

lv.setAdapter(new MyCustomBaseAdapter(getActivity(),recordObjects));
//recordObjects is an ArrayList of objects 

Answer 1

you have to set TextWatcher to your EditText and

and then filter your data using dynamic array...

Answer 2

Use the addTextChangedListener method to add a TextWatcher to your EditText. Then in your implementation of onTextChanged, add or remove the items from your ListView's adapter as appropriate.

Answer 3

Is this the kind of thing you wanted?

ListView lv = getListView();
            /* Gets a ListView */
            lv.setTextFilterEnabled(true);

            /* sorts the listview */
            ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(
                    getApplicationContext(),
                    android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1,
                    result.getheadlines());
            setListAdapter(adapter);
            /*
             * gets the lisadapter from the XML and sets it equal to
             * whatever result is
             */
