Just an update.

If the ticked answer is working fine for you but it shows nothing when the search text is empty. Here is the solution:

private class ItemFilter extends Filter {
    @Override
    protected FilterResults performFiltering(CharSequence constraint) {
        
        String filterString = constraint.toString().toLowerCase();
        
        FilterResults results = new FilterResults();

        if(constraint.length() == 0)
        {
            results.count = originalData.size();
            results.values = originalData;
        }else {

        
        final List list = originalData;

        int count = list.size();
        final ArrayList nlist = new ArrayList(count);

        String filterableString ;
        
        for (int i = 0; i < count; i++) {
            filterableString = list.get(i);
            if (filterableString.toLowerCase().contains(filterString)) {
                nlist.add(filterableString);
            }
        }
        
        results.values = nlist;
        results.count = nlist.size();
     }
        return results;
    }

    @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
    @Override
    protected void publishResults(CharSequence constraint, FilterResults results) {
        filteredData = (ArrayList) results.values;
        notifyDataSetChanged();
      }

   }
