I am trying to add a search bar that enables me to search by buttons, search between btn1 and btn2 and btn3. I tried a lot of codes but all of them were focused on TextView and not on buttons. So hope to help me and if I missed details please let me know to describe more.

The two files (.java and .xml) are typed below. thank you.

file.java

package com.example.myapp1;

import androidx.annotation.NonNull;
import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.ArrayAdapter;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.EditText;
import android.widget.TextView;

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
    SearchView sv;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        Button btn1 = findViewById(R.id.btn1);
        btn1.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                Intent intent = new Intent(MainActivity.this, MainActivity2.class);
                startActivity(intent);
            }
        });

        Button btn2 = findViewById(R.id.btn2);
        btn2.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                Intent intent = new Intent(MainActivity.this, MainActivity3.class);
                startActivity(intent);
            }
        });

        Button btn3 = findViewById(R.id.btn3);
        btn3.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                Intent intent = new Intent(MainActivity.this, MainActivity4.class);
                startActivity(intent);
            }
        });

        
    }
}

What do you mean by search by buttons? Are you looking to search the text that is held within the button?
