I have a listview in my app, which looks like this:
--img-- --ArrayListItems(names)--- ---TextView----
I am using Action bar sherlock with search view to make the app reverse compatible. I am using custom adapter which extends Base Adapter and also implements filterable. What i actually need is, when the user types in the text in the search bar, i should be able to filter the list view based on ArrayListItems(names). I refered several posts on stackoverflow, tried all code snippets. but still i am unable to search. When i run the the code, search bar does nothing.
In my activity I did:
public class SearchViewActionBar extends SherlockActivity implements SearchView.OnQueryTextListener
{
public SearchView mSearchView;
private TextView mStatusView;
int mSortMode = -1;
protected CharSequence[] _options = { "Wild Life", "River", "Hill Station", "Temple", "Bird Sanctuary", "Hill", "Amusement Park"};
protected boolean[] _selections = new boolean[ _options.length ];
private final String[] mStrings = Cheeses.sCheeseStrings;
ListView lv1;
ItemListBaseAdapter adapter;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
getWindow().requestFeature(Window.FEATURE_ACTION_BAR);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
ArrayList<ItemDetails> image_details = GetSearchResults();
lv1= (ListView) findViewById(R.id.list_view);
adapter=new ItemListBaseAdapter(this, image_details);
lv1.setAdapter(adapter);
lv1.setTextFilterEnabled(true);
mSearchView = (SearchView) findViewById(R.id.action_search);
/*lv1.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {
@Override
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> a, View v, int position, long id) {
Object o = lv1.getItemAtPosition(position);
ItemDetails obj_itemDetails = (ItemDetails)o;
//Toast.makeText(ListViewImagesActivity.this, "You have chosen : " + " " + obj_itemDetails.getName(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
});*/
}
private ArrayList<ItemDetails> GetSearchResults()
{
ArrayList<ItemDetails> results = new ArrayList<ItemDetails>();
for(int i=0;i<mStrings.length;i++)
{
ItemDetails item_details = new ItemDetails();
item_details.setName(mStrings[i]);
item_details.setItemDescription("200");
results.add(item_details);
}
return results;

I had posted an answer here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/12363961/450534 that was based on a question of mine a few days back here: Filtering a ListView with Baseadapter filters text not images.
The problem I was facing in the question was that the text would get filtered by the images would not match. The answer posted takes care of that problem. The solution, as also mentioned in the answer, is for a GridView but works just perfect with a ListView too.
It is a mighty lengthy answer so I am simply linking instead of re-posting it here. It has the entire solution BTW and should help you just fine.
