How to perform search based on more that one values in AutoCompleteTextView

Question

I am using AutoCompleteTextView for searching City. I am using Array Adapter for binding AutoCompleteTextView. Now I want to enter either City or Zip Code on AutoCompleteTextView and want List of Cities based on that. How can I do it?

You can yse NameFilter in ArrayAdapter:

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

        Filter cityFilter = new Filter() {
            public String convertResultToString(Object resultValue) {
                String str = ((YourObject) (resultValue)).getName();
                return str;
            }

            @Override
            protected FilterResults performFiltering(CharSequence constraint) {
            //Your code for find CIty by name or zip 
        }

           @Override
                protected void publishResults(CharSequence constraint,
                        FilterResults results) {
                //You can now update youArrayList and after you need call notifyDataSetChanged
                        notifyDataSetChanged();
                    }
                }
            };
