Thanks for the great code. I need to extend this class so I can override getview() but I'm not sure how. My hashmap is myhashmap<String,MyCustomObject> When I try to use my adapter I get a runtime error: java.lang.ClassCastException: java.util.LinkedHashMap$LinkedEntry cannot be cast to com.mainstreet.glasavev2.entities.MyCustomObject. I tried various constructors like "private class ItemAdapter<K,V> extends LinkedHashMapAdapter<K,V> implements Filterable {..." but had no luck. Suggestions ?
TIA Bill

Hi and thanks, your code works fine.
I intended to use it in one of my app but before I would like to know under which license it is available.
Thanks
