[android] Custom Listview Adapter with filter Android

First you create the EditText in the xml file and assign an id, eg con_pag_etPesquisa. After that, we will create two lists, where one is the list view and the other to receive the same content but will remain as a backup. Before moving objects to lists first initializes Them the below:

//Declaring

public EditText etPesquisa;

public ContasPagarAdapter adapterNormal;

public List<ContasPagar> lstBkp;

public List<ContasPagar> lstCp;

//Within the onCreate method, type the following:

etPesquisa = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.con_pag_etPesquisa);

etPesquisa.addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher(){

    @Override
    public void onTextChanged(CharSequence cs, int arg1, int arg2, int arg3){
        filter(String.valueOf(cs));
    }
    @Override
    public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence cs, int arg1, int arg2, int arg3){

    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    }
    @Override
    public void afterTextChanged(Editable e){

    }

});

//Before moving objects to lists first initializes them as below:

lstCp = new ArrayList<ContasPagar>();

lstBkp = new ArrayList<ContasPagar>();


//When you add objects to the main list, repeat the procedure also for bkp list, as follows:

lstCp.add(cp);

lstBkp.add(cp);


//Now initializes the adapter and let the listener, as follows:

adapterNormal = new ContasPagarAdapter(ContasPagarActivity.this, lstCp);

lvContasPagar.setAdapter(adapterNormal);
                    lvContasPagar.setOnItemClickListener(verificaClickItemContasPagar(lstCp));


//Now create the methods inside actito filter the text entered by the user, as follows:

public void filter(String charText){

    charText = charText.toLowerCase();

    lstCp.clear();

    if (charText.length() == 0){

        lstCp.addAll(lstBkp);

        appendAddItem(lstBkp);

    } 

    else {

        for (int i = 0; i < lstBkp.size(); i++){

            if((lstBkp.get(i).getNome_lancamento() + " - " + String.valueOf(lstBkp.get(i).getCodigo())).toLowerCase().contains(charText)){

                lstCp.add(lstBkp.get(i));

            }

        }

        appendAddItem(lstCp);
    }
}

private void appendAddItem(final List<ContasPagar> novaLista){
    runOnUiThread(new Runnable(){

        @Override
            public void run(){
                adapterNormal.notifyDataSetChanged();               
            }
        });
    }
