How to set Filter to ListView with CursorAdapter?


I have a ListView. which of it's items are from custom CursorAdapter. I have created separate layout for ListView items which is a CardView. I have six TextViews on each card they are Database values. Now i have to put a EditText to filter the ListView items according to the text entered in EditText. My Code is layout with ListView is

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="#1d4563">

<ListView
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:id="@+id/listView2"
    android:layout_marginTop="40dp"
    android:layout_centerHorizontal="true" />

<EditText
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:inputType="number"
    android:ems="10"
    android:id="@+id/editText5"
    android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
    android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
    android:layout_alignParentStart="true"
    android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
    android:layout_alignParentEnd="true"
    android:background="@drawable/bg_edit"
    android:textColorHint="#d3d3d3"
    android:hint="enter Serial Number to search" />

ListView items layout is

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:card_view="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:android.support.v7.cardview="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android.support.v7.cardview:cardBackgroundColor="@color/primary_dark"
android:id="@+id/cardItems">

<android.support.v7.widget.CardView

    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="150dp"
    android:layout_margin="1dp"
    card_view:cardCornerRadius="0dp"
    card_view:contentPadding="2dp">

    <RelativeLayout
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent"
        android:background="@drawable/card_style">

        <TextView

            android:layout_marginStart="25dp"
            android:layout_marginTop="8dp"/>

        <TextView
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:text="Mobile No."
            android:id="@+id/textView25"

            android:textColor="#FFFFFF"
            android:layout_marginLeft="25dp"
            android:layout_marginStart="25dp"
            android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
            android:layout_marginBottom="8dp"/>

        <TextView
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"

            android:id="@+id/textView27"
            android:textColor="#FFFFFF"
            android:layout_marginTop="8dp"
            android:layout_centerHorizontal="true" />

        <TextView

            android:text="New Text"
            android:id="@+id/textView28"
            android:textColor="#FFFFFF"
            android:layout_centerVertical="true"
            android:layout_alignLeft="@+id/textView27"
            android:layout_alignStart="@+id/textView27" />

        <TextView
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:text="New Text"
            android:id="@+id/textView29"
            android:layout_alignTop="@+id/textView26"
            android:layout_alignLeft="@+id/textView28"
            android:layout_alignStart="@+id/textView28"
            android:layout_marginBottom="8dp"
            android:textColor="#FFFFFF"/>

    </RelativeLayout>

</android.support.v7.widget.CardView>

My DisplayAdapter is

public class DisplayAdapter extends CursorAdapter{

@SuppressWarnings("deprecation")
public DisplayAdapter(Context context,Cursor c){
    super(context,c);
}

@Override
public View newView(Context context, Cursor cursor, ViewGroup parent) {
    LayoutInflater inflater = LayoutInflater.from(parent.getContext());
    View retView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.card_items, parent, false);

    return retView;
}

@Override
public void bindView(View view, Context context, Cursor cursor) {
    TextView tvUserName=(TextView)view.findViewById(R.id.textView27);
    tvUserName.setText(cursor.getString(2));

    TextView tvMobile=(TextView)view.findViewById(R.id.textView28);
    tvMobile.setText(cursor.getString(3));

    TextView tvSerail=(TextView)view.findViewById(R.id.textView29);
    tvSerail.setText(cursor.getString(5));
}

}

My Activity is public class TableBikeActivity extends ActionBarActivity {

private DisplayAdapter adapter;
ListView bikeList;
DatabaseHelper databaseHelper;
EditText filterText;

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

    databaseHelper=new DatabaseHelper(this);
    bikeList=(ListView)findViewById(R.id.listView2);

    filterText=(EditText)findViewById(R.id.editText5);
    filterText.addTextChangedListener(filterTextWatcher);
    new Handler().post(new Runnable() {
        @Override
        public void run() {
            adapter = new DisplayAdapter(TableBikeActivity.this, databaseHelper.getAllDataBike());
            bikeList.setAdapter(adapter);
        }
    });
}

private TextWatcher filterTextWatcher=new TextWatcher() {
    @Override
    public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int count, int after) {

    }

    @Override
    public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int before, int count) {
        adapter.getFilter().filter(s);
    }

    @Override
    public void afterTextChanged(Editable s) {

    }
};

@Override
protected void onDestroy(){
    super.onDestroy();
    filterText.removeTextChangedListener(filterTextWatcher);
}

}

I have tried TextChangedListener but it's not working. Help me.


Solution

  • The setTextFilterEnabled() method doesn't automatically implement filtering, as it doesn't know what in your Cursor the text should be filtered against.

    For a CursorAdapter cursor, you only need to use the setFilterQueryProvider, to run another query for your cursor, based on the constraint:

    m_Adapter.setFilterQueryProvider(new FilterQueryProvider() {
    
      public Cursor runQuery(CharSequence constraint) {
        Log.d(LOG_TAG, "runQuery constraint:"+constraint);
        //uri, projection, and sortOrder might be the same as previous
        //but you might want a new selection, based on your filter content (constraint)
        Cursor cur = managedQuery(uri, projection, selection, selectionArgs, sortOrder);
        return cur; //now your adapter will have the new filtered content
      }
    
    });
    

    When a constraint is added (eg. by using a TextView) the adapter must be filtered:

    public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int before, int count) {
      Log.d(LOG_TAG, "Filter:"+s);
      if (m_slvAdapter!=null) {
        m_Adapter.getFilter().filter(s);
      }
    }
