Add Item menu Search !

  <item
    android:id="@+id/option_menu_search"
    app:actionViewClass="android.support.v7.widget.SearchView"
    android:icon="@drawable/ic_search_white_24dp"
    android:orderInCategory="10"
    app:showAsAction="ifRoom|collapseActionView"
    android:title="@string/abc_searchview_description_search"
    >

add in your onOptionsItemSelected

SearchView searchView = (SearchView) menu.findItem(R.id.option_menu_search).getActionView();

then

 searchView.setOnQueryTextListener(new SearchView.OnQueryTextListener() {

            @Override
            public boolean onQueryTextSubmit(String query) {

                return true;
            }

            @Override
            public boolean onQueryTextChange(String newText) {

                return true;
            } });

thanks, its working but can you tell me how to search for number — Hemanth S, Mar 27 '15 at 17:41
Add to your list Adapter (Sample Adapter) ! `mAdapter.getFilter().filter(query);` — Ussef Ben Amor, Mar 28 '15 at 17:28
