i hope this example could help you

in the Main_Activity

    EditText etSearch;
    BaseAdapterFilterable adapter;

    etSearch.addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher() {

            @Override
            public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int before, int count) {
                // Listview name of the class
                Listview.this.adapter.getFilter().filter(s);
            }

            @Override
            public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int count,
                    int after) {
                // TODO Auto-generated method stub

            }

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

            }
        });

in your adapter put this class to use it in getfilter method

public class filter_here extends Filter{

        @Override
        protected FilterResults performFiltering(CharSequence constraint) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub

            FilterResults Result = new FilterResults();
            // if constraint is empty return the original names
            if(constraint.length() == 0 ){
                Result.values = Original_Names;
                Result.count = Original_Names.size();
                return Result;
            }

            ArrayList Filtered_Names = new ArrayList();
            String filterString = constraint.toString().toLowerCase();
            String filterableString;

            for(int i = 0; i) results.values;
            notifyDataSetChanged();
        }

    }

also in your adapter return instance from filter_here class

@Override
    public Filter getFilter() {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        return filter;
    }
