EditText inputSearch = (EditText)getView().findViewById(R.id.inputGroupSearch);   
inputSearch.addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher() {         @Override        public void onTextChanged(CharSequence cs, int arg1, int arg2, int arg3) {            // When user changed the Text          
        Myadapter.getFilter().filter(cs);        }})
```

Add following code for filter list on edittext type

```
editText = (EditText) view.findViewById(R.id.filerText);     editText.addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher() {           @Override         public void onTextChanged(CharSequence cs, int arg1, int arg2, int arg3) {            YourCustomAdapter Myadapter= (YourCustomAdapter) getListAdapter();                  Myadapter.getFilter().filter(cs);         }          @Override         public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence arg0, int arg1, int arg2, int arg3) { }          @Override         public void afterTextChanged(Editable arg0) {}     });
```
