ArrayAdapter - filtering with multiple search terms

Question

I have recently added a bounty to this SO question, but realise the original question asks for a SimpleAdapter and not an ArrayAdapter. So, this question relates to the Arra

[Complementing the sam's response] Your code will have problems when you digites only spaces. I added an "if".

// First match against the whole, non-splitted value
if (valueText.startsWith(prefixString)) {
  newValues.add(value);
} else {
  // Break the prefix into "words"
  final String[] prefixes = prefixString.split(" ");
  final int prefixCount = prefixes.length;
  // HERE CHANGE
  if (prefixCount>0) {
    int loc;
    // Find the first "word" in prefix
    if (valueText.startsWith(prefixes[0]) || (loc = valueText.indexOf(' ' + prefixes[0])) > -1)
      loc = valueText.indexOf(prefixes[0]);

    // Find the following "words" in order
      for (int j = 1; j < prefixCount && loc > -1; j++)
        loc = valueText.indexOf(' ' + prefixes[j], loc + 2);

    // If every "word" is in this row, add it to the results
    if (loc > -1)
      newValues.add(value);
  }
}
