Solution 1:

Put an EditText somewhere, like on top of your listView, then add a TextWatcher like :

    TextWatcher filterTextWatcher = 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) {
            _myAdapter.getFilter().filter(s);
        }
    };
    _filterText = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.search_box);
    _filterText.addTextChangedListener(filterTextWatcher);
