Custom Listview Adapter with filter Android

Question

Please am trying to implement a filter on my listview. But whenever the text change, the list disappears.Please Help Here are my codes. The adapter class.

package com.talagbe.schymn;

import java.util.ArrayList;

import android.content.Context;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
import android.widget.ArrayAdapter;
import android.widget.TextView;

public class HymnsAdapter extends ArrayAdapter<Hymns> {
ArrayList<Hymns> hymnarray;
Context context;
LayoutInflater inflater;
int Resource;


public HymnsAdapter(Context context, int resource, ArrayList<Hymns> objects) {
    super(context, resource, objects);
    // TODO Auto-generated constructor stub

    hymnarray=objects;
    Resource= resource;
    this.context=context;
    inflater= (LayoutInflater) context.getSystemService(context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
}


@Override
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
     ViewHolder holder;
     if(convertView==null){

         convertView= inflater.inflate(Resource,null);
         holder= new ViewHolder();
         holder.hymntitle= (TextView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.Hymn_title);
        // holder.hymntext= (TextView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.Channel_name);


         convertView.setTag(holder);

     }else{
         holder=(ViewHolder)convertView.getTag();
     }

     holder.hymntitle.setText(hymnarray.get(position).getTitle());
     //holder.hymntext.setText(hymnarray.get(position).getText());

    return convertView;


}


   static class ViewHolder{

    public TextView hymntitle;
    public TextView hymntext;

}

 }

Here is the other class where am trying to implement the filter. I have an edittext,where i implement on textChangeListener

package com.talagbe.schymn;

import java.util.ArrayList;

import database.DatabaseHelper;

import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v4.app.Fragment;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.database.Cursor;
import android.database.sqlite.SQLiteDatabase;
import android.widget.AdapterView.OnItemClickListener;

 public class Home extends Fragment {

    private static final String DB_NAME = "schymn.sqlite";
    private static final String TABLE_NAME = "Hymns";
    private static final String Hymn_ID = "_id";
    private static final String Hymn_Title = "Title";
    private static final String Hymn_Text = "Text";
    private SQLiteDatabase database;

ListView list;
EditText search;
HymnsAdapter vadapter;
ArrayList<Hymns> HymnsList;
String url;
Context context=null;


public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
        Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
      return inflater.inflate(R.layout.index, container,false);
}


@Override
public void onActivityCreated(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    list = (ListView)getActivity().findViewById(R.id.hymn_list);
    search = (EditText) getActivity().findViewById(R.id.search);
    HymnsList = new ArrayList<Hymns>();

    DatabaseHelper dbOpenHelper = new DatabaseHelper(getActivity(), DB_NAME);
    database = dbOpenHelper.openDataBase();

    fillHymns();
    //setUpList();

}



private void fillHymns() {
    Cursor hymnCursor = database.query(TABLE_NAME,
                                         new String[] 
                                         {Hymn_ID, Hymn_Title,Hymn_Text},
                                         null, null, null, null
                                         , Hymn_Title);
    hymnCursor.moveToFirst();
    if(!hymnCursor.isAfterLast()) {
        do {
            Hymns hy = new Hymns();
            hy.setTitle(hymnCursor.getString(1));
            hy.setText(hymnCursor.getString(2));
            HymnsList.add(hy);

        } while (hymnCursor.moveToNext());
    }
    hymnCursor.close();
     vadapter = new HymnsAdapter(getActivity().getApplicationContext(),R.layout.hymns,HymnsList);
    list.setAdapter(vadapter);

    list.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view,
                int position, long id) {

            Intent intent = new Intent(getActivity().getApplicationContext(), Hymn_Text.class);
            intent.putExtra("Title",HymnsList.get(position).getTitle());
            intent.putExtra("Text",HymnsList.get(position).getText());
            startActivity(intent);
            //Log.i("Text",HymnsList.get(position).getText());

        }








    });


    search.addTextChangedListener( new TextWatcher() {

        @Override
        public void onTextChanged(CharSequence cs, int start, int before, int count) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub
            if(count>0){


            }

        }

        @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
             Home.this.vadapter.getFilter().filter(s);
                Log.i("Changed",s.toString());
        }
    });
}




  }

The log,logs whatever input i type in,but doesn't show the listview. Thank you

Answer 1

you can find custom list adapter class with filterable using text change in edit text...

create custom list adapter class with implementation of Filterable:

private class CustomListAdapter extends BaseAdapter implements Filterable{

    private LayoutInflater inflater;
    private ViewHolder holder;
    private ItemFilter mFilter = new ItemFilter();

    public CustomListAdapter(List<YourCustomData> newlist) {
        filteredData = newlist;
    }

    @Override
    public int getCount() {
        return filteredData.size();
    }

    @Override
    public Object getItem(int position) {
        return null;
    }

    @Override
    public long getItemId(int position) {
        return position;
    }

    @Override
    public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {

        holder = new ViewHolder();

        if(inflater==null)
            inflater = (LayoutInflater)getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);

        if(convertView == null){
            convertView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.row_listview_item, null);

            holder.mTextView = (TextView)convertView.findViewById(R.id.row_listview_member_tv);

            convertView.setTag(holder);
        }else{
            holder = (ViewHolder)convertView.getTag();
        }

        holder.mTextView.setText(""+filteredData.get(position).getYourdata());

        return convertView;
    }

    @Override
    public Filter getFilter() {
        return mFilter;
    }


}

class ViewHolder{
    TextView mTextView;
}

private class ItemFilter extends Filter {
    @SuppressLint("DefaultLocale")
    @Override
    protected FilterResults performFiltering(CharSequence constraint) {

        String filterString = constraint.toString().toLowerCase();

        FilterResults results = new FilterResults();

        final List<YourCustomData> list = YourObject.getYourDataList();

        int count = list.size();
        final ArrayList<YourCustomData> nlist = new ArrayList<YourCustomData>(count);

        String filterableString ;

        for (int i = 0; i < count; i++) {
            filterableString = ""+list.get(i).getYourText();
            if (filterableString.toLowerCase().contains(filterString)) {
                YourCustomData mYourCustomData = list.get(i);
                nlist.add(mYourCustomData);
            }
        }

        results.values = nlist;
        results.count = nlist.size();

        return results;
    }

    @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
    @Override
    protected void publishResults(CharSequence constraint, FilterResults results) {
        filteredData = (ArrayList<YourCustomData>) results.values;
        mCustomListAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
    }

}

mEditTextSearch.addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher() {
        @Override
        public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int before, int count) {
            if(mCustomListAdapter!=null)
                mCustomListAdapter.getFilter().filter(s.toString());

        }
        @Override
        public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int count, int after) {
        }
        @Override
        public void afterTextChanged(Editable s) {
        }
    });
