I have a problem with my code, I perform a search into a HashMap inside an Adapter. It works fine but when I delete quickly all letters in EditText so the Adapter show the list of the first entire string typed and not the list of all elements.
Example:
I type James, the view get all the James in the Map, but if I delete quickly the EditText (pressing back) so the method perform the search right back and show the correct list for any substring (jame, jam, ja, j) but at the end he shows again the list inherited “James” and not the full contact list
Thank you for any answers!

Solved
I solved the issue, the problem was that I created a new Filter object on any new typing, using the same Filter all works well, because as is written in the android documentation:
This is the correct code:
