Tengo una vista de lista que relleno desde una matriz JSON. Primero, los valores se extraen de la matriz JSON, luego se colocan en un HashMap. Entonces este HashMap se agrega a una ArrayList. Desde aquí, los datos necesarios se agregan a un ListAdapter.

Busqué en línea durante días ahora, para encontrar una manera de agregar una función de búsqueda a esto, pero ninguno de ellos usa esta combinación de ListAdapater, ArrayList y HashMap. Soy un principiante, ¿alguien puede ayudarme a hacer esto, por favor?

Este es mi codigo

public class ListNew extends Activity {
ListView list;
TextView eid;
TextView ename; 
TextView edesc;
//Button Btngetdata;
ArrayList<HashMap<String, String>> oslist = new ArrayList<HashMap<String, String>>();

//URL to get JSON Array
private static String url = "somelink";

//JSON Node Names 
private static final String TAG_OS = "events";
private static final String TAG_EID = "eid";
private static final String TAG_ENAME = "ename";
private static final String TAG_ETYPE = "etype";
private static final String TAG_EDESC = "edesc";
private static final String TAG_ESDATE = "esdate";
private static final String TAG_EEDATE = "eedate";
private static final String TAG_ESTIME = "estime";
private static final String TAG_EETIME = "eetime";
private static final String TAG_LOCATION = "location";
private static final String TAG_CREATED_AT = "created_at";
private static final String TAG_EDITED_AT = "edited_at";
private static final String TAG_CREATEDBY = "createdby";
private static final String TAG_IMAGE = "image";
private static final String TAG_APPROVED = "approved";

EditText inputSearch;
ListAdapter adapter;


public static final String TABLE_EVENT = "event";



JSONArray events = null;


@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    //from here
    inputSearch = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.etSearch);

    setContentView(R.layout.listnew);
    oslist = new ArrayList<HashMap<String, String>>();

    new JSONParse().execute();


}

private class JSONParse extends AsyncTask<String, String, JSONObject> {
     private ProgressDialog pDialog;
    @Override
    protected void onPreExecute() {
        super.onPreExecute();
         eid = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.vers);
         ename = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.name);
         edesc = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.api);
        pDialog = new ProgressDialog(ListNew.this);
        pDialog.setMessage("Getting Data ...");
        pDialog.setIndeterminate(false);
        pDialog.setCancelable(true);
        pDialog.show();



    }

    @Override

        JSONParser jParser = new JSONParser();

        // Getting JSON from URL

                events = json.getJSONArray(TAG_OS);
                for(int i = 0; i < events.length(); i++){
                JSONObject c = events.getJSONObject(i);

                // Storing  JSON item in a Variable
