Search through RecyclerView using Searchview

Question

I want to search through RecyclerView, I have List<BaseOfCards> (BaseOfCards is my getter&setter class) My RecyclerViewAdapter :

public class RecyclerViewAdapter extends RecyclerView.Adapter<RecyclerViewAdapter.MyViewHolder> {


private LayoutInflater inflater;
private List<BaseOfCards> items;

//private int itemLayout;
//String cardvalue;
private Activity mActivity;

public RecyclerViewAdapter(Activity mActivity, Context context, List<BaseOfCards> items) {
    this.mActivity = mActivity;
    inflater = LayoutInflater.from(context);
    this.items = items;
    //this.itemLayout = itemLayout;
}

@Override
public MyViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(ViewGroup parent, int viewType) {

    View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.custom_row, parent, false);
    MyViewHolder holder = new MyViewHolder(view, mActivity);
    return holder;
}

@Override
public void onBindViewHolder(MyViewHolder holder, int position) {

    BaseOfCards item = items.get(position);
    holder.title.setTag(item);
    holder.title.setText(item.getCardName());
}

@Override
public int getItemCount() {

    return items.size();
}

public static class MyViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder {
    private Activity mActivity;
    TextView title;
    ImageView titileImageView;

    public MyViewHolder(View itemView, Activity mActivity) {

        super(itemView);

        titileImageView = (ImageView) itemView.findViewById(R.id.image_country);


        title = (TextView) itemView.findViewById(R.id.listText);
        this.mActivity = mActivity;

    }
}

}

I add SearchView to my menu and initialize it in MainActivity:

 MenuItem menuItem = menu.findItem(R.id.action_search1);
    searchView = (SearchView) MenuItemCompat.getActionView(menuItem);
    SearchManager manager = (SearchManager) getSystemService(Context.SEARCH_SERVICE);
    searchView.setIconifiedByDefault(true);

What do I need to do next? Make my RecyclerViewAdapter implement Filterable or what? Or just make class filter in *RecyclerViewAdapter** and just call it from my MainActivity ?

Answer 1

I solved my problem

1. Make my class RecyclerViewAdapter implements Filterable

2. Add line private List<BaseOfCards> orig;

3. Add method getFilter in RecyclerViewAdapter

   public Filter getFilter() {
   return new Filter() {
       @Override
       protected FilterResults performFiltering(CharSequence constraint) {
           final FilterResults oReturn = new FilterResults();
           final List<BaseOfCards> results = new ArrayList<BaseOfCards>();
           if (orig == null)
               orig  = items;
               if (constraint != null){
                   if(orig !=null & orig.size()>0 ){
                       for ( final BaseOfCards g :orig) {
                           if (g.getCardName().toLowerCase().contains(constraint.toString()))results.add(g);
                       }
                   }
                   oReturn.values = results;
               }
               return oReturn;
           }
   
   @Override
       protected void publishResults(CharSequence constraint, FilterResults results) {
           items = (ArrayList<BaseOfCards>)results.values;
           notifyDataSetChanged();
   
       }
   }; 
   

4. Make MainActivity implements SearchView.OnQueryTextListener and change method onQueryTextChange :

   @Override
   public boolean onQueryTextChange(String newText) {
       if ( TextUtils.isEmpty ( newText ) ) {
           adapter.getFilter().filter("");
       } else {
           adapter.getFilter().filter(newText.toString());
       }
       return true;
   }

In your adapter class extend filterable. Then override the public Filter getFilter().

   @Override
    public Filter getFilter() {
        Filter filter = new Filter() {
            @Override
            protected FilterResults performFiltering(CharSequence charSequence) {
                FilterResults filterResults = new FilterResults();

                if(charSequence == null | charSequence.length() == 0){
                    filterResults.count = getUserModelListFiltered.size();
                    filterResults.values = getUserModelListFiltered;

                }else{
                    String searchChr = charSequence.toString().toLowerCase();

                    List<UserModel> resultData = new ArrayList<>();

                    for(UserModel userModel: getUserModelListFiltered){
                        if(userModel.getUserName().toLowerCase().contains(searchChr)){
                            resultData.add(userModel);
                        }
                    }
                    filterResults.count = resultData.size();
                    filterResults.values = resultData;

                }

                return filterResults;
            }

            @Override
            protected void publishResults(CharSequence charSequence, FilterResults filterResults) {

                userModelList = (List<UserModel>) filterResults.values;
                notifyDataSetChanged();

            }
        };
        return filter;
      }

in your main activity add search view and listener to onQueryTextChange.

@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
    getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.menu, menu);

    MenuItem menuItem = menu.findItem(R.id.search_view);

    SearchView searchView = (SearchView) menuItem.getActionView();

    searchView.setMaxWidth(Integer.MAX_VALUE);

    searchView.setOnQueryTextListener(new SearchView.OnQueryTextListener() {
        @Override
        public boolean onQueryTextSubmit(String query) {
            return false;
        }

        @Override
        public boolean onQueryTextChange(String newText) {

            usersAdapter.getFilter().filter(newText);
            return true;
        }
    });



    return  true;
}

I want to add to ololoking answer. In MainActivity we should also add next code so it would work:

   @Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
    getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.menu_layout, menu);

    MenuItem searchItem = menu.findItem(R.id.action_search);
    SearchView searchView = (SearchView) MenuItemCompat.getActionView(searchItem);
    SearchManager manager = (SearchManager) getSystemService(Context.SEARCH_SERVICE);
    searchView.setIconifiedByDefault(true);
    searchView.setOnQueryTextListener(this);
    return super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);

}

Thanks ololoking for your answer. It helped me.
