Custom filtering in AutoCompleteTextView not working

Question

I am extending the Array Adapter as it follows but I get still the old results can you please tell me what is the problem ?

public class Adaptor extends ArrayAdapter<String> implements Filterable{

        private ArrayList<String> items;

        public Adaptor(Context context, int textViewResourceId, String[] objects) {
            super(context, textViewResourceId, objects);
            items = new ArrayList<String>();
            for (int i = 0; i < objects.length ; i++)
                items.add(objects[i]);

        }


        @Override
        public int getCount() {
            return items.size();
        }


        @Override
        public String getItem(int position) {
            return items.get(position);
        }

        @Override
        public Filter getFilter() {
            Filter myFilter = new Filter(){

                @Override
                protected FilterResults performFiltering(CharSequence arg0) {
                    FilterResults rezultate = new FilterResults();
                    ArrayList<String> chestii = new ArrayList<String>();
                    for (int i = 0; i < items.size() ; i++)
                    {
                        String tmp = items.get(i).toUpperCase();
                        if (tmp.startsWith(arg0.toString().toUpperCase()))
                                chestii.add(items.get(i));

                    }
                    rezultate.count = chestii.size();
                    rezultate.values = chestii;
                    return rezultate;
                }

                @Override
                protected void publishResults(CharSequence constraint,
                        FilterResults results) {
                    if (results != null && results.count > 0)
                    {
                        notifyDataSetChanged();
                    }
                    else notifyDataSetInvalidated();

                }

            };
            return myFilter;
        }




    }

Your list contains items from "items" and you don't modify items in it, you have to remove positions from "items" and then call notifyDataSetChange, to restore lately all items you have to save previous items

this is works fine:
