Unfortunately I couldn't implement a search functionality in a ListView inside an ArrayAdapter. Here is a part of my MainActivity:
public class MainPageActivity extends ActionBarActivity implements View.OnClickListener {
private static String TAG = "MainPageActivity";
private ListView lv_medicines;
private MedicineAdapter medicineAdapter;
private JSONParser jsonParser;
private List<Medicine> medicines;
private EditText inputSearch;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main_page);
init();
inputSearch.addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher() {
@Override
public void afterTextChanged(Editable arg0) {
}
@Override
public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence arg0, int arg1,
int arg2, int arg3) {
}
@Override
public void onTextChanged(CharSequence cs, int arg1, int arg2,
int arg3) {
MainPageActivity.this.medicineAdapter.getFilter().filter(cs);
}
});
/*...*/
private void init() {
lv_medicines = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.lv_medicines);
lv_medicines.setTextFilterEnabled(true);
inputSearch = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.inputSearch);
medicineAdapter = new MedicineAdapter(getApplicationContext(), hatoanyagok);
lv_medicines.setAdapter(medicineAdapter);
}
/*...*/
}
And here is my ArrayAdapter:
public class MedicineAdapter extends ArrayAdapter<String> implements Filterable{
private final Context context;
private List<String> elements;
private List<String> filteredData;
public MedicineAdapter(Context context, List<String> elements) {
super(context, R.layout.row_item, elements);
this.context = context;
this.elements = elements;
this.filteredData = elements;
}
public String getItem(int pos) {
return filteredData.get(pos);
}
public int getCount() {
return filteredData.size();
}
public long getItemId(int position) {
return position;
}
public void deleteRow(String element) {
if (filteredData.contains(element)) {
filteredData.remove(element);
}
}
public List<String> getObjects() {
return filteredData;
}
public void setObjects(List<String> objects) {
this.elements = elements;
}
public List<String> getValues() {
return filteredData;
}
private static class ViewHolder {
TextView tv_medicine_name;
}
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
ViewHolder viewHolder;
if (convertView == null) {
viewHolder = new ViewHolder();
LayoutInflater inflater = LayoutInflater.from(getContext());
convertView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.row_item, parent, false);
viewHolder.tv_medicine_name = (TextView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.tv_medicine_name);
convertView.setTag(viewHolder);
} else {
viewHolder = (ViewHolder) convertView.getTag();
}
viewHolder.tv_medicine_name.setText(filteredData.get(position));
return convertView;
}
public void filter(String charText) {
charText = charText.toLowerCase(Locale.getDefault());
filteredData.clear();
if (charText.length() == 0) {
filteredData.addAll(elements);
}
else
{
for (String s : elements)
{
if (s.toLowerCase(Locale.getDefault()).contains(charText))
{
filteredData.add(s);
}
}
}
notifyDataSetChanged();
}
public void notifyDataSetChanged() {
super.notifyDataSetChanged();
}
}
What would be the problem? Thanks in advance for the answers!
