Elite Technority: July 2019

A widget that provides a user interface for the user to enter a search query and submit a request to a search provider. Shows a list of query suggestions or results, if available, and allows the user to pick a suggestion or result to launch into.

In this tutorial, we will see how to search a weekday from the list of 7 weekdays as list items. Here, we observer after putting character 't' in SearchView we get 'Tuesday' and 'Thursday' filtered out from the list as the end result.
