Search List In Our Application In Android?

Hi in my app there is a list view and a search section.what i need to do is when i search a word in the search section it should sort out the corresponding list view according to t

Solution 1:

Try to use contains() instead of equalsIgnoreCase().Where datasetList is object of my custom ArrayList<ContactList>.

publicvoidonTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int before, int count) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        String getSearchString = search.getText().toString();

        if(datasetList != null && datasetList.size() > 0)
        {
            sortedList = new ArrayList<ContactDataSet>(); //new List sorted list for (int i = 0; i < datasetList.size(); i++) {

                if (datasetList.get(i).getName().contains(getSearchString)) {
                    sortedList.add(datasetList.get(i));

                }
            }
        }           
        adapter.setnewList(sortedList);
        lView.setAdapter(adapter);

    }

Try this and let me know.It is working for me.Hope this helps you
