Android Listview Search filter

Question

I am trying to make a list view search for Android. I have found many tutorials that do just that where a search-bar is placed at the top and if you type in the box the results

Answer 1

Rather than products[position], use adapter.getItem(position). When the ListView is not in filter mode, those two things will be the same. But, in filter mode, getItem() will take the filtering into account.

Answer 2

The ListAdapter will change the relative position of the items it currently shows due to the filtering. You should always use getItem(position) to retrieve the correct item.
