Implement Filterable in your baseadapter class.

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

String names[] = {"Apple","Banana","Kiwi","Oranges","Watermelon"};
String emails[] = {"This is apple","This is banana","This is kiwi","This is oranges","This is watermelon"};
int images[] = {R.drawable.apple,R.drawable.banana,R.drawable.kiwi,R.drawable.oranges,R.drawable.watermelon};

List itemsModelList = new ArrayList<>();

ListView listView;

CustomAdapter customAdapter;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

    listView = findViewById(R.id.listview);


    for(int i = 0;i < names.length;i++){

        ItemsModel itemsModel = new ItemsModel(names[i],emails[i],images[i]);

        itemsModelList.add(itemsModel);

    }

     customAdapter = new CustomAdapter(itemsModelList,this);

    listView.setAdapter(customAdapter);


}


@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {


    getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.search_menu,menu);

    MenuItem menuItem = menu.findItem(R.id.searchView);

    SearchView searchView = (SearchView) menuItem.getActionView();

    searchView.setOnQueryTextListener(new SearchView.OnQueryTextListener() {
        @Override
        public boolean onQueryTextSubmit(String query) {
            return false;
        }

        @Override
        public boolean onQueryTextChange(String newText) {

            Log.e("Main"," data search"+newText);

            customAdapter.getFilter().filter(newText);



            return true;
        }
    });


    return true;

}


@Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(@NonNull MenuItem item) {

    int id = item.getItemId();


    if(id == R.id.searchView){

        return true;
    }
    return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}


public class CustomAdapter extends BaseAdapter implements Filterable {

    private List itemsModelsl;
    private List itemsModelListFiltered;
    private Context context;

    public CustomAdapter(List 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 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) results.values;
                notifyDataSetChanged();

            }
        };
        return filter;
    }
}

}
