How can I filter ListView data when typing on EditText in android

Question

I have a ListView and a EditText. How can I filter ListView data when typing on EditText?

Answer 1

1) create a custom adapter for your list view and create a removeIfMatch(String s) method:

public void removeIfMatch(String s) {
  for item in adapter:
    if item.matches(s) {
       data.removeItem(item);
       notifyDataSetChanged();
       break
    }
}

2) create a callback for when the EditText contents change

3) invoke adapter.removeIfMatch(editText.getText())
