Answer 1

@JavaNullPointer : I was having the same problem as you did. I tried to implement the solutions provided here but was having different kinds of problem.. after thinking for a while, I assumed that the default Filter might be using toString() method of the object to filter... this turned to me right. It saved me a lot of hassle..

reading at your codes, I believe you want to filter by the name field of Poi class. if so, then the quick solution would be SOLUTION:

public class Poi{

//your constructors and methods

@Override
public String toString(){
   return getName(); 
}
