Search In Json Functionality-CodePudding

So, I get some data from a nutrition database and I want to add a search option. I'm new to Android Studio so some advice would help me.

This is the app:

This edittext should search in the database and show after the name of products. Is there an easier way to make this work?

This is the activity layout:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

CodePudding user response：

Implements NutritionDatabase activity with Filterable class and implements Filterable class method in your NutritionDatabase activity.

@Override
public Filter getFilter() {
    return myFilter;
}


Filter myFilter = new Filter() {
    @Override
    protected FilterResults performFiltering(CharSequence constraint) {
        FilterResults filterResults = new FilterResults();
        ArrayList<String> tempList = new ArrayList<String>();
        //constraint is the result from text you want to filter against.
        //objects is your data set you will filter from
        if (constraint != null && your_list != null) {
            int length = your_list.size();
            int i = 0;
            while (i < length) {
                String item = your_list.get(i);
                //do whatever you wanna do here
                //adding result set output array
                tempList.add(item);
                i  ;
            }

//following two lines is very important
            //as publish result can only take FilterResults objects
            filterResults.values = tempList;
            filterResults.count = tempList.size();
        }
        return filterResults;
    }

    @Override
    protected void publishResults(CharSequence contraint, FilterResults results) {
        your_list = (ArrayList<String>) results.values;
        if (results.count > 0) {
            your_adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
        } else {
        }
    }
};
            


Implement your search edittext like

et_dataInput.addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher() {

    @Override
    public void afterTextChanged(Editable arg0) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        String text = et_dataInput.getText().toString());
        your_adapter.getFilter().filter(text);
    }

    @Override
    public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence arg0, int arg1,
                                  int arg2, int arg3) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    }

    @Override
    public void onTextChanged(CharSequence arg0, int arg1, int arg2,
                              int arg3) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    }
});

use this code for search name from your list.
