Myactivity.java

@Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState){
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_list_item); 



        lv1 =(ListView)findViewById(R.id.list); 
        lv =(ListView)findViewById(R.id.list);

        btnGetSelected = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btnget);
        btnGetSelected.setOnClickListener(this);

         myFilter = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.myFilter);

         myFilter.addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher() {



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

                @Override
                public void afterTextChanged(Editable s) {
                }
                public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s,
                        int start, int before, int count)
                {
                    String selection = myFilter.getText().toString().toLowerCase();



                    List<Application> newListTwo=new List<Application>();
                        int textlength = selection.trim().length();
                        System.err.println("selection" + textlength);
                        newListTwo.clear();
                        for (int i = 0; i < items.size(); i++)
                        {
                            // -------------- seach according to the content starts with -------------------------

                            if(items.get(i).getContent().toLowerCase().startsWith(selection))
                            {


                                System.err.println("Selection: " + selection);

                                newListTwo.add(items.get(i));
                            }
                        }

                        //---------------- Again Call your List View ------------------
                        adapter=new ApplicationAdapter(MainActivity.this, newListTwo);
                        setListAdapter(adapter);

                }

                private void setListAdapter(ApplicationAdapter adapter) {
                    // TODO Auto-generated method stub

                }
            });



        //praycount.setOnClickListener(this);
        initView();

}





    private void initView(){
        // show progress dialog
        dialog = ProgressDialog.show(this, "", "Loading...");
        String url = "http://www.ginfy.com/api/v1/posts.json";
        FetchDataTask task = new FetchDataTask(this);
        task.execute(url);


    }

For my code how to use the search function,i have my applicaton.java and applicationadapter.java also

Applicationadapter.java

Use addTextChangeListener to show list according to the content:-

searchContentEditText.addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher()
            {
                public void afterTextChanged(Editable s)
                {

                }
                public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int count, int after)
                {
                }
                public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s,
                        int start, int before, int count)
                {
                    selection= searchContentEditText.getText().toString().toLowerCase();



                        List newListTwo=new ArrayList();
                        textlength = selection.trim().length();
                        System.err.println("selection" + textlength);
                        newListTwo.clear();
                        for (int i = 0; i < contactList.size(); i++)
                        {
                            // -------------- seach according to the content starts with -------------------------

                            if(firstList.get(i).getContent().toLowerCase().startsWith(selection))
                            {


                                System.err.println("Selection: " + selection);

                                newListTwo.add(firstList.get(i));
                            }
                        }

                        //---------------- Again Call your List View ------------------
                        adapter=new ContactListAdapter(MyActivity.this, newListTwo);
                        setListAdapter(adapter);

                }
            });

You need to implement your MyActivity.java class with TextWatcher.

public class MyActivity extends Activity implements TextWatcher  {


myFilter = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.myFilter);
myFilter.addTextChangedListener(this);

@Override
public void afterTextChanged(Editable s) {
}

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

@Override
public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int before, int count) {

    Group[] group_array = null;
    this.array_sort = new ArrayList<Group>();
    try {
        if(user != null) {
            group_array = this.user.getUser_groups().getData();
        }
        int textlength = this.search_bar.getText().length();
        for(int i=0; i<group_array.length; i++) { 

            if(textlength <= group_array[i].getGroup_name().length()) {

                if(((String) group_array[i].getGroup_name().subSequence(0, textlength))
                        .equalsIgnoreCase(this.search_bar.getText().toString()))
                {
                    this.array_sort.add(group_array[i]);
                }
            }
        }
        if(this.array_sort.size() > 0) { 
            Group[] groups = new Group[this.array_sort.size()];
            FetchGroups.this.group_adapter = new GroupAdapter(FetchGroups.this,R.layout.row_fetch_groups,
                    android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, this.array_sort.toArray(groups));
            FetchGroups.this.groups_list.setAdapter(group_adapter);
        }
    } catch(Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}

Dude can you see my adapter class,i want to search the content alone in that function,for that how to do
