public class MyListAdapter extends RecyclerView.Adapter<MyListAdapter.ViewHolder> implements Filterable {
    ArrayList<MyListData> myListDataArrayList;
    String packaging = "";
    private MyListData[] listdata;
    private Context context;
    private CustomFilter filter;

    public MyListAdapter(ArrayList<MyListData> horizontalList, Context context) {
        this.myListDataArrayList = horizontalList;
        this.context = context;

    }

    // RecyclerView recyclerView;
    public MyListAdapter(MyListData[] listdata) {
        this.listdata = listdata;
    }

    @Override
    public ViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(ViewGroup parent, int viewType) {
        View itemView = LayoutInflater.from(parent.getContext()).inflate(R.layout.list_item, parent, false);

        return new ViewHolder(itemView);
    }

    @Override
    public void onBindViewHolder(final ViewHolder holder, final int position) {

        final MyListData myListData = myListDataArrayList.get(position);

        holder.tv_hhid.setText("HHID : " + myListData.getHh_id());
        holder.tv_respid.setText("Resp_ID : " + myListData.getResp_id());
        holder.tv_firstname.setText(myListData.getFirst_name());
        //      holder.tv_firstname.setText(myListData.getFirst_name()+"  " + myListData.getLast_name());
        holder.tv_lastname.setText(myListData.getLast_name());

        holder.relativeLayout.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View view) {
                //    Toast.makeText(view.getContext(), "click on item: " + myListData.getHh_id(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                Intent intent = new Intent(view.getContext(), Section_Mandatory.class);
                intent.putExtra("hhid", myListData.getHh_id());
                intent.putExtra("resp_id", myListData.getResp_id());
                view.getContext().startActivity(intent);

            }
        });
    }

    @Override
    public int getItemCount() {
        return myListDataArrayList.size();
    }

    @Override
    public Filter getFilter() {
        if (filter == null) {
            filter = new CustomFilter(myListDataArrayList, this);
        }

        return filter;
    }

    public static class ViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder {
        public TextView tv_hhid, tv_respid, tv_firstname, tv_lastname;
        public RelativeLayout relativeLayout;

        public ViewHolder(View itemView) {
            super(itemView);
            this.tv_hhid = itemView.findViewById(R.id.tv_hhid);
            this.tv_respid = itemView.findViewById(R.id.tv_respid);
            this.tv_firstname = itemView.findViewById(R.id.tv_firstname);
            this.tv_lastname = itemView.findViewById(R.id.tv_lastname);
            relativeLayout = itemView.findViewById(R.id.relativeLayout);
        }
    }

    public class CustomFilter extends Filter {

        MyListAdapter adapter;
        List<MyListData> filterList;

        public CustomFilter(List<MyListData> filterList, MyListAdapter adapter) {
            this.adapter = adapter;
            this.filterList = filterList;

        }


        @Override
        protected FilterResults performFiltering(CharSequence constraint) {
            FilterResults results = new FilterResults();

            return results;
        }

        @Override
        protected void publishResults(CharSequence constraint, FilterResults results) {

            adapter.myListDataArrayList = (ArrayList<MyListData>) results.values;

            adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
        }

    }

Here is My Getter and Setter Class.

public class MyListData {
    private String hh_id;
    private String resp_id;
    private String first_name;
    private String last_name;

    ///public MyListData(String hh_id, String resp_id, String first_name, String last_name) {
    public MyListData() {
        this.hh_id = hh_id;
        this.resp_id = resp_id;
        this.first_name = first_name;
        this.last_name = last_name;
    }

    public String getHh_id() {
        return hh_id;
    }

    public void setHh_id(String hh_id) {
        this.hh_id = hh_id;
    }

    public String getResp_id() {
        return resp_id;
    }

    public void setResp_id(String resp_id) {
        this.resp_id = resp_id;
    }

    public String getFirst_name() {
        return first_name;
    }

    public void setFirst_name(String first_name) {
        this.first_name = first_name;
    }

    public String getLast_name() {
        return last_name;
    }

    public void setLast_name(String last_name) {
        this.last_name = last_name;
    }
}

Here Is My Activity Class.

public class Edit_Form extends AppCompatActivity {

        readData();


        searchview.addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher() {

            textView.setVisibility(View.GONE);
            if (cursor.moveToFirst()) {

                    String str_hhid = (cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex("hhid_id")));

                    myListData.setFirst_name(str_first_name);
                    myListData.setLast_name(str_last_name);
                    myListDataArrayList.add(myListData);
                } while (cursor.moveToNext());

                cursor.close();
            }
            if (myListDataArrayList != null && myListDataArrayList.size() > 0) {
                adapter = new MyListAdapter(myListDataArrayList, Edit_Form.this);
                recyclerView.setAdapter(adapter);
            }
        } else {

Answer 1

You can add this method inside your Activity/Fragment class

   void filter(String text){
  ArrayList<ModelClass> model=new ArrayList<>();
    for(ModelClass name: model){
        //or use .equal(text) with you want equal match
        //use .toLowerCase() for better matches
        if(name.getName().toLowerCase().contains(text.toLowerCase())){
            model.add(name);
        }
    //update recyclerview
    adapter.updateList(model);

where ModelClass is your POJO class as MyListData in your case

use this method like this

 searchView.addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher() {
        @Override
        public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int before, int count) {
            filter(s.toString());

            // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        }

        @Override
        public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int count, int after) {

            // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        }

        @Override
        public void afterTextChanged(Editable s) {

            // filter your list from your input
            //you can use runnable postDelayed like 500 ms to delay search text
        }
    });
    }

}

and add following method inside adapter :

  public void updateList(List<ModelClass> list){
    modelList= list;
    notifyDataSetChanged();
}

Answer 2

I think you should set adapter.getFilter().filter(text) in onTextChanged method.

@Override  
public void onTextChanged(CharSequence cs, int arg1, int arg2, int arg3) {  
  adapter.getFilter().filter(cs);   
}
