searchview

I have implemented Search Filter to my SearchView in my SherlockAction Bar. When i type m i want to show filtered results in the list view below which only starts with M and so on.

To achieve what you want, you need to execute a query which should look like this: DatabaseReference rootRef = FirebaseDatabase.getInstance().getReference(); DatabaseReference usersRef = rootRef.child("users"); Query query = usersRef.orderByChild("name").equalTo(newText); So everytime you create a search you should return a new query. So according to this, every time you want to filter on a new

The SearchView element doesn't have any properties for changing the text color. The default text color is black and doesn't work on our dark background.
