Listview with searchbar

Introduction 

Basically string values stored/updated into array/base adapter for using set  into listview.but this project is different because while search some name means its index values are changing during its position values so need to set some more adapter for storing filter values for other purpose(move index values into another activity,toast purpose etc...)

demo

Using the code

activity_main.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<LinearLayout

android:id="@+id/LinearLayout01"

android:layout_width="fill_parent"

android:layout_height="fill_parent"

xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

android:orientation="vertical">

<EditText 

    android:id="@+id/EditText01"

android:layout_height="wrap_content"

android:layout_width="fill_parent"

android:hint="search"/>

<ListView 

    android:id="@+id/android:list"

android:cacheColorHint="#00000000"

android:layout_width="fill_parent"

android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>

</LinearLayout>   

list_items.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

    android:orientation="horizontal"

    android:layout_width="fill_parent"

    android:layout_height="fill_parent"

    android:padding="8dp">

<TextView

android:id="@+id/title"

android:textColor="#000"

    android:layout_width="0dp"

    android:layout_weight="1"

    android:layout_margin="10dp"

    android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>

</LinearLayout>
