How to hide filter popup in ListView in Android?

I setTextFilterEnabled

for text filtering a ListView

. The filtering works fine, but as you type, a popup appears with the filter text. See Image:

ListView filter text popup

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

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

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

When you create ArrayAdapter

to fill ListView

, just keep a link to your Filter and then you can just change Filter on ArrayAdapter

instead ListView

.

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

Create a filter (you can use 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 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;
    }

Hi like Vatsal said you can create a filter from an adapter. So I figured I created the 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 onQueryTextChange or onQueryTextSubmit you can get the filter this way

//...
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;
}
//...
