Solution 1:

• Making Items in an ArrayAdapter filterable: ArrayAdapter has a built in ArrayFilter , It compares the Objects in adapter list by using a string from toString().toLowerCase() for each object. If you override toString() in CityData class and return city name, then ArrayAdapter should be able to filter items effectively.

• Enabling Automatic text filter on a ListView: In ListView either use android:textFilterEnabled="true" in layout or set it from code using setTextFilterEnabled(true). Now whenever listView is in focus, user can simply bring up the keyboard, and start typing, list items will be automatically filtered.

• Explicitly setting text filter on a ListView: Use setFilterText() method of ListView. Do not forget to clear this afterward.
