I want to add a SearchView to my listview

Question

I want to add a SearchView to my list so that the user can look for a specific content in the listview

MainActivity.java

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    private RecyclerView mRecyclerView;
    private RecyclerView.Adapter mAdapter;
    private RecyclerView.LayoutManager mLayoutManager;
    List<Book> books;

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

        books = new ArrayList<>();
        books.add(new Book("Rich Dad Poor Dad", "Rich Dad Poor Dad is a 1997 book written by Robert Kiyosaki and Sharon Lechter.", "Robert Kiyosaki"));
        books.add(new Book("Awaken The Giant Within", "Wake up and take control of your life! From the bestselling author of Inner Strength, Unlimited Power, and MONEY Master the Game", "Anthony Robbins"));

        mRecyclerView = findViewById(R.id.my_recyclerview);
        mRecyclerView.setHasFixedSize(true);
        mLayoutManager = new LinearLayoutManager(this);
        mAdapter = new RecyclerViewAdapter(books, this);

        mRecyclerView.setLayoutManager(mLayoutManager);
        mRecyclerView.setAdapter(mAdapter);
    }
}

Just add an EditText to your layout and use that to filter your query. — Phantômaxx, Jul 01 '19 at 15:07
EditText + filter is much better. The SearchView and Search API in general was a giant mistake. — Alex Hart, Jul 16 '19 at 13:09
