How to filter a RecyclerView with a SearchView

Question

I am trying to implement the SearchView from the support library. I want the user to be to use the SearchView to filter a List of movi

Answer 1

I recommend modify the solution of @Xaver Kapeller with 2 things below to avoid a problem after you cleared the searched text (the filter didn't work anymore) due to the list back of adapter has smaller size than filter list and the IndexOutOfBoundsException happened. So the code need to modify as below

public void addItem(int position, ExampleModel model) {
    if(position >= mModel.size()) {
        mModel.add(model);
        notifyItemInserted(mModel.size()-1);
    } else {
        mModels.add(position, model);
        notifyItemInserted(position);
    }
}

And modify also in moveItem functionality

public void moveItem(int fromPosition, int toPosition) {
    final ExampleModel model = mModels.remove(fromPosition);
    if(toPosition >= mModels.size()) {
        mModels.add(model);
        notifyItemMoved(fromPosition, mModels.size()-1);
    } else {
        mModels.add(toPosition, model);
        notifyItemMoved(fromPosition, toPosition); 
    }
}

Hope that It could help you!
