Android MultiChoice Spinner with SearchView Functi

Hope you doing well.

I am stuck with the problem to implement Search functionality in MultiChoice Spinner, As i implemented Spinner with Multiple Choice in that used AlertDialog to display Multiple Choice Items.

There is two option for adding Filter Functionality:

Add EditText in AlertDialog for search.
Add ListView and EditText with Custom Layout.

I've tried to implement both but didn't get complete solution.

In First Case I am getting an Layout Like following image (EditText displaying in Bottom) and also getting problem with getFilter() which is not working with EditText:

AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(getContext());
builder.setTitle(defaultText);

LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater) getContext().getSystemService( Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE );

View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.alert_dialog_listview_search, null);
builder.setView(view);

EditText editText = (EditText) view.findViewById(R.id.alertSearchEditText);
editText.addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher() {
    @Override
    public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int before, int count) { }
    @Override
    public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int count, int after) {}

    @Override
    public void afterTextChanged(Editable s) {  }
});

builder.setMultiChoiceItems(items.toArray(new CharSequence[items.size()]), selected, this);
builder.setPositiveButton(android.R.string.ok,
        new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
    @Override
    public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
        dialog.cancel();
    }
});

builder.setOnCancelListener(this);
builder.show();

In Second Case I have created custom layout for AlertDialog as below, but in this case i can't able to remains values when second time opening dialog:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:gravity="center_horizontal" >

    <EditText
        android:id="@+id/alertSearchEditText"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
        android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
        android:hint="@string/type_to_search"
        android:inputType="text" >

        <requestFocus />
    </EditText>

    <ListView
        android:id="@+id/alertSearchListView"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_below="@+id/alertSearchEditText"
        android:layout_marginTop="5dp"
        android:cacheColorHint="@null"
        android:fadeScrollbars="true"
        android:fastScrollEnabled="true"
        android:textFilterEnabled="true" >
    </ListView>

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/alertSearchNotFound"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
        android:layout_centerVertical="true"
        android:gravity="center"
        android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge"
        android:textColor="#EE0000"
        android:visibility="gone" />

</RelativeLayout>

The following code is help me also for filtering ListView but don't know how to get and remains selected values.

MultiSpinner.java

import android.widget.Spinner;

public class MultiSpinner extends Spinner implements OnMultiChoiceClickListener, OnCancelListener {

    private List<String> items;
    private boolean[] selected;
    private String defaultText;
    private MultiSpinnerListener listener;




    public MultiSpinner(Context context) {
        super(context);
    }

    public MultiSpinner(Context arg0, AttributeSet arg1) {
        super(arg0, arg1);
    }

    public MultiSpinner(Context arg0, AttributeSet arg1, int arg2) {
        super(arg0, arg1, arg2);
    }

    @Override
    public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which, boolean isChecked) {
        if (isChecked)
            selected[which] = true;
        else
            selected[which] = false;
    }

    @Override
    public void onCancel(DialogInterface dialog) {
        // refresh text on spinner

        StringBuffer spinnerBuffer = new StringBuffer();

        for (int i = 0; i < items.size(); i++) {
            if (selected[i] == true) {
                spinnerBuffer.append(items.get(i));
                spinnerBuffer.append(", ");
            }
        }

        String spinnerText = "";
        spinnerText = spinnerBuffer.toString();
        if (spinnerText.length() > 2)
            spinnerText = spinnerText.substring(0, spinnerText.length() - 2);
        else
            spinnerText = defaultText;

//      ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(getContext(),
//              android.R.layout.simple_dropdown_item_1line,

//      setAdapter(adapter);
        setPrompt(spinnerText);
