How to hide the filter popup on ListView in Android?

I setTextFilterEnabled for text filtering a ListView. Filtering is working fine, but a popup window showing the filter text appears when I type. See image:

ListView filter text popup

How can I hide this popup or change its position on the screen?

Hi as Vatsal mentioned you can create a filter from the adapter. So the way in which I solved this was that I created an ArrayAdapter as a class variable.

// ...
private void setListAdapter() {
    List<Word> words = Dictionary.getInstance(this).getWords();

    arrayAdapter = new ArrayAdapter<>(
            this,
            android.R.layout.simple_list_item_activated_1,
            android.R.id.text1,
            words);
    // Sets the List Adapter that we are using
    this.setListAdapter(arrayAdapter);
}
// ...

then from this class variable in the onQueryTextChange or onQueryTextSubmit you can get the filter like so

//...
public boolean onQueryTextChange(String query) {
    // By doing this it removes the popup completely which was arising from using the this.getListView().setFilterText(query) method
    arrayAdapter.getFilter().filter(query);

    return true;
}
//...

Create a filter , ( you may be using a different adapter )

ContentAdapter  adapter = new ContentAdapter(this, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1,
            s);
    list1.setAdapter(adapter);
    Filter f = adapter.getFilter();

Then use filter inside 'onQueryTextChange', instead of the commented code

public boolean onQueryTextChange(String newText) {
        if (TextUtils.isEmpty(newText)) {

            //list1.clearTextFilter();
            f.filter(null);
        } else {
            //list1.setFilterText(newText.toString());
            f.filter(newText);

        }
        return true;
    }

I have found easier solution that works for me on this blog:

When you create ArrayAdapter to populate ListView, just store reference to its Filter and then you can simply modify Filter on ArrayAdapter instead of ListView.

*In Xamarin you can just use arrayAdapter.InvokeFilter("my text");

Filter.publishResults(CharSequence constraint, Filter.FilterResults results) is probably what pops up. And therefore you probably need to subclass Filter and override it.

Best regards.
