this is not search , what you are looking for is filtering
I did the same mistake before too, I'll try to give you some stuff from my code
at first , you'll need to have an ArrayAdapter for your list , let's call it "datasource"
and an EditText which I'll name "searchBox"
you'll also need to have a textWatcher, you can use this
Code:
private TextWatcher filterTextWatcher = new TextWatcher() {
@Override
public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int before,
int count) {
datasource.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
}
};
and at the end of your onCreate()
Code:
searchBox.addTextChangedListener(filterTextWatcher);
that should do it for you
