Setting an extra adapter for a listview in android

Question

I am using a custom adapter for a listview in android.The listview has one image and two textviews in each item.But i want to create a search function for the listview.But i need to create a second adapter for the listview to implement the search functionality.Is there a way to add an extra adapter to a listview in android?

My current adapter:

EDIT: I added a filter class in my adapter as follows:

public class filter_here extends Filter{
        //ArrayList<String> Names=new ArrayList<String>(); 
        ArrayList<String> store_names;
        @Override
        protected FilterResults performFiltering(CharSequence constraint) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub
             store_names=new ArrayList<String>();
            for(int i=0;i<store_list.size();i++)
            {
                store_names.add(store_list.get(i).store_name);
            }
            FilterResults Result = new FilterResults();
            // if constraint is empty return the original names
            if(constraint.length() == 0 ){
                Result.values = store_names;
                Result.count = store_names.size();
                return Result;
            }

            ArrayList<String> Filtered_Names = new ArrayList<String>();
            String filterString = constraint.toString().toLowerCase();
            String filterableString;

            for(int i = 0; i<store_list.size(); i++){
                filterableString = store_list.get(i).store_name;
                if(filterableString.toLowerCase().contains(filterString)){
                    Filtered_Names.add(filterableString);
                }
            }
            Result.values = Filtered_Names;
            Result.count = Filtered_Names.size();

            return Result;
        }

        @Override
        protected void publishResults(CharSequence constraint,FilterResults results) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub
            store_names = (ArrayList<String>) results.values;
            notifyDataSetChanged();
        }

    }

And i overrode the getfilter method:

public Filter getFilter() {

        return filter;
    }

Created a filter_class object in the constructor as filter.But still the searching doesnt happen.

why would you need another adapter for search functionality? — Daniel Bo, Jul 25 '14 at 06:02
So can you suggest a way to implement search functionality in the current adapter? — user3852672, Jul 25 '14 at 06:04
@user3852672 you can use a SearchView in actionbar and filter the list by implementing a custom filter. — Raghunandan, Jul 25 '14 at 06:09

Instead you can have an textbox for filtering the results and attach an listener there and then update the listview accordingly. This is a traditional way search is implemented. See this for help: http://www.androidhive.info/2012/09/android-adding-search-functionality-to-listview/

i dont see a problem why you wouldnt be able to create a search on this adapter.

you will just have to create a method like filer(String searchValue) which does the searching, by removing invalid results from the list of results. In your case float[] result_arr;

Im not exactly sure why you would want to make a list with just floats in it, but anyway thats the way i would go.

And as Raghunandan already pointed out, you should add a searchview to the actionbar, and attach a textlistener onto it. now you can either wait for "enter" to start your search, or even do a live search on every new letter.

result_arr is for location. – user3852672 Jul 25 '14 at 07:00 — user3852672, Jul 25 '14 at 07:00

Adapter contains the method adapter.getFilter() which gives you the filtering capability on your character sequence -

For example -

activity_main.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical" >

    //Editext for Search
    <EditText android:id="@+id/inputSearch"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:hint="Search products.."
        android:inputType="textVisiblePassword"/>

    //List View
    <ListView
        android:id="@+id/list_view"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

</LinearLayout>

Your EditText will provide the search on ListView -

MainActivity.java

inputSearch.addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher() {

    @Override
    public void onTextChanged(CharSequence cs, int arg1, int arg2, int arg3) {
        // When user changed the Text
        MainActivity.this.adapter.getFilter().filter(cs);   
    }

    @Override
    public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence arg0, int arg1, int arg2,
            int arg3) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub

    }

    @Override
    public void afterTextChanged(Editable arg0) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub                          
    }
});
