Custom Listview Adapter with filter Android

You can use the Filterable interface on your Adapter, have a look at the example below:

public class SearchableAdapter extends BaseAdapter implements Filterable {
    
    private List<String>originalData = null;
    private List<String>filteredData = null;
    private LayoutInflater mInflater;
    private ItemFilter mFilter = new ItemFilter();
    
    public SearchableAdapter(Context context, List<String> data) {
        this.filteredData = data ;
        this.originalData = data ;
        mInflater = LayoutInflater.from(context);
    }
 
    public int getCount() {
        return filteredData.size();
    }
 
    public Object getItem(int position) {
        return filteredData.get(position);
    }
 
    public long getItemId(int position) {
        return position;
    }
 
    public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
        // A ViewHolder keeps references to children views to avoid unnecessary calls
        // to findViewById() on each row.
        ViewHolder holder;
 
        // When convertView is not null, we can reuse it directly, there is no need
        // to reinflate it. We only inflate a new View when the convertView supplied
        // by ListView is null.
        if (convertView == null) {
            convertView = mInflater.inflate(R.layout.list_item, null);
 
            // Creates a ViewHolder and store references to the two children views
            // we want to bind data to.
            holder = new ViewHolder();
            holder.text = (TextView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.list_view);
 
            // Bind the data efficiently with the holder.
 
            convertView.setTag(holder);
        } else {
            // Get the ViewHolder back to get fast access to the TextView
            // and the ImageView.
            holder = (ViewHolder) convertView.getTag();
        }
 
        // If weren't re-ordering this you could rely on what you set last time
        holder.text.setText(filteredData.get(position));
 
        return convertView;
    }
    
    static class ViewHolder {
        TextView text;
    }
 
    public Filter getFilter() {
        return mFilter;
    }
 
    private class ItemFilter extends Filter {
        @Override
        protected FilterResults performFiltering(CharSequence constraint) {
            
            String filterString = constraint.toString().toLowerCase();
            
            FilterResults results = new FilterResults();
            
            final List<String> list = originalData;
 
            int count = list.size();
            final ArrayList<String> nlist = new ArrayList<String>(count);
 
            String filterableString ;
            
            for (int i = 0; i < count; i++) {
                filterableString = list.get(i);
                if (filterableString.toLowerCase().contains(filterString)) {
                    nlist.add(filterableString);
                }
            }
            
            results.values = nlist;
            results.count = nlist.size();
 
            return results;
        }
 
        @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
        @Override
        protected void publishResults(CharSequence constraint, FilterResults results) {
            filteredData = (ArrayList<String>) results.values;
            notifyDataSetChanged();
        }
 
    }
}

In your Activity or Fragment where of Adapter is instantiated :

editTxt.addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher() {
  
    @Override
    public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int before, int count) {
        System.out.println("Text ["+s+"]");
        
        mSearchableAdapter.getFilter().filter(s.toString());                           
    }
     
    @Override
    public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int count,
            int after) {
         
    }
     
    @Override
    public void afterTextChanged(Editable s) {
    }
});

Here are the links for the original source and another example


In your CustomAdapter class implement filterable.

listview with search search listview

 public class CustomAdapter extends BaseAdapter implements Filterable {

    private List<ItemsModel> itemsModelsl;
    private List<ItemsModel> itemsModelListFiltered;
    private Context context;

    public CustomAdapter(List<ItemsModel> itemsModelsl, Context context) {
        this.itemsModelsl = itemsModelsl;
        this.itemsModelListFiltered = itemsModelsl;
        this.context = context;
    }



    @Override
    public int getCount() {
        return itemsModelListFiltered.size();
    }

    @Override
    public Object getItem(int position) {
        return itemsModelListFiltered.get(position);
    }

    @Override
    public long getItemId(int position) {
        return position;
    }

    @Override
    public View getView(final int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
        View view = getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.row_items,null);


        TextView names = view.findViewById(R.id.name);
        TextView emails = view.findViewById(R.id.email);
        ImageView imageView = view.findViewById(R.id.images);

        names.setText(itemsModelListFiltered.get(position).getName());
        emails.setText(itemsModelListFiltered.get(position).getEmail());
        imageView.setImageResource(itemsModelListFiltered.get(position).getImages());

        view.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                Log.e("main activity","item clicked");
                startActivity(new Intent(MainActivity.this,ItemsPreviewActivity.class).putExtra("items",itemsModelListFiltered.get(position)));

            }
        });

        return view;
    }



    @Override
    public Filter getFilter() {
        Filter filter = new Filter() {
            @Override
            protected FilterResults performFiltering(CharSequence constraint) {

                FilterResults filterResults = new FilterResults();
                if(constraint == null || constraint.length() == 0){
                    filterResults.count = itemsModelsl.size();
                    filterResults.values = itemsModelsl;

                }else{
                    List<ItemsModel> resultsModel = new ArrayList<>();
                    String searchStr = constraint.toString().toLowerCase();

                    for(ItemsModel itemsModel:itemsModelsl){
                        if(itemsModel.getName().contains(searchStr) || itemsModel.getEmail().contains(searchStr)){
                            resultsModel.add(itemsModel);

                        }
                         filterResults.count = resultsModel.size();
                            filterResults.values = resultsModel;
                    }


                }

                return filterResults;
            }

            @Override
            protected void publishResults(CharSequence constraint, FilterResults results) {

                itemsModelListFiltered = (List<ItemsModel>) results.values;
                notifyDataSetChanged();

            }
        };
        return filter;
    }
}

}

I hope it will be helpful for others.

// put below code (method) in Adapter class
public void filter(String charText) {
    charText = charText.toLowerCase(Locale.getDefault());
    myList.clear();
    if (charText.length() == 0) {
        myList.addAll(arraylist);
    }
    else
    {
        for (MyBean wp : arraylist) {
            if (wp.getName().toLowerCase(Locale.getDefault()).contains(charText)) {
                myList.add(wp);
            }
        }
    }
    notifyDataSetChanged();
}

declare below code in adapter class

private ArrayList<MyBean> myList;  // for loading main list
private ArrayList<MyBean> arraylist=null;  // for loading  filter data

below code in adapter Constructor

this.arraylist = new ArrayList<MyBean>();
    this.arraylist.addAll(myList);

and below code in your activity class

final EditText searchET = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.search_et);
    // Capture Text in EditText
    searchET.addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher() {

        @Override
        public void afterTextChanged(Editable arg0) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub
            String text = searchET.getText().toString().toLowerCase(Locale.getDefault());
            adapter.filter(text);
        }

        @Override
        public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence arg0, int arg1,
                                      int arg2, int arg3) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        }

        @Override
        public void onTextChanged(CharSequence arg0, int arg1, int arg2,
                                  int arg3) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        }
    });
