How can we have searched characters colored when we use searchview in recyclerview?
I have a recyclerview and I want to search in it with help of searchview. I want my searched characters to be colored and be specific.
I am programming with Kotlin.
After a hard effort I found the answer myself. I use a function like this:
fun colorsearch(a:String,charText: String):SpannableStringBuilder{
var l = 0
var b:ArrayList<Int>
b = ArrayList()
var w = 0
var i = 0
if (charText!=""){
label@ while (i < a.length) {
var j=0
while (j<charText.length){
Log.v("abc", j.toString())
if (i == a.length)
break@label
while ((a[i] != charText[j])) {
if (j != 0) {
continue@label
}
i++
if (i == a.length)
break@label
}
i++
j++
}
b.add(i)
w++
if (i == a.length)
break@label
}
}
val searchtitle = SpannableStringBuilder(a)
while (l < w) {
searchtitle.setSpan(
ForegroundColorSpan(Color.RED),
b[l] - charText.length, b[l],
Spanned.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_INCLUSIVE
)
l++
}
return searchtitle
}
The "charText" in "a" will be Red.
