How to refer to the original position of a list item when text filter is enabled?

Question

When I use edit text to filter the items, the list positions get all messed up and the items no longer call the proper intent. Any help is appreciated

Answer 1

 flashsearchList.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {

        @Override 
        public void onItemClick(AdapterView parent, View view,
                int position, long id) {
            Integer temp=flashSearchNameMap.get(adapter.getItem(position));

            navigateSearch(temp); 



        }
    }); 

(adapter.getItem(position) will return you the exact list name and in flashSearchNameMap i have stored names and position at beginning from oncreate before applying filtering.So you can get exact position by this
