Search View and Filterable: Showing a bar with searched text

Question

I am using SearchView with ListView and implementing Filterable to filter record. Its working fine except two problems.

The problems are:

1. When I write something in SearchView a black bar with searched text showing.
2. An arrow (>) symbol is also visible on right edge of SearchView.

I want to remove both. How can I remove them?

Here is the image of the problems.

Answer 1

Try this for popup

disable TextFilterEnabled on your ListView

yourListView.setTextFilterEnabled(false);

and filter your data like this:

android.widget.Filter filter = yourListAdapter.getFilter();

Also Add:

@Override
        public boolean onQueryTextChange(String newText) {
            System.out.println("tap");
            yourAdapter ca = (yourAdapter)listview.getAdapter();

            if (TextUtils.isEmpty(newText)) {

               listview.clearTextFilter();  

            } else {

                filter.filter(newText);


            }
            return true;
        }
