SearchActivity.java

public class SearchActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_search);

    Intent intent = getIntent();
    handleIntent(intent);
}



// Handles the intent that carries user's choice in the Search Interface
private void handleIntent(Intent intent) {
    if (Intent.ACTION_SEARCH.equals(intent.getAction())) {
        String query = intent.getStringExtra(SearchManager.QUERY);

        Log.i("Main", "Received query: " + query);
    } else if (Intent.ACTION_VIEW.equals(intent.getAction())) {

youreditext.addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher() {
        @Override
        public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence charSequence, int i, int i1, int i2) {

        }

        @Override
        public void onTextChanged(CharSequence charSequence, int i, int i1, int i2) {
                // your logic
        }

        @Override
        public void afterTextChanged(Editable editable) {
