I am new in Android Studio. I have an app which has a main activity compromising if a menu and inside each menu item is a listView of objects.Each object contains 2 textView, an image and an audio file. When an item in the list is clicked, a particular audio file is played.I would like to insert an autoComplete search view in the mainActivity action bar so that a user can search for an item in any activity in a list and when he finds it and clicks it, the audio file is played. Here is a snippet of my mainActivity.java file

private AdView mAdView;

GridView gridview;



public static String osNameList = {

        "NUMBERS",

        "FAMILY",

        "COLORS",

        "NOUNS",

        "VERBS",

        "PHRASES",

        "ANIMALS",

        "DATES"

};

public static int osImages = {

        R.drawable.numbers,

        R.drawable.family,

        R.drawable.colors,

        R.drawable.nouns,

        R.drawable.verbs,

        R.drawable.phrases,

        R.drawable.pawprint,

        R.drawable.dates

};







@Override

protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main2);

    Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);

    setSupportActionBar(toolbar);



    gridview = (GridView) findViewById(R.id.grid);

    gridview.setAdapter(new adapter(Main2Activity.this, osNameList, osImages));

Here is a snippet of my grid adapter

rowView.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {



        @Override

        public void onClick(View v) {

            // TODO Auto-generated method stub

            if (position == 0){

                context.startActivity(new Intent(context, NumbersActivity.class));

            }

            else if (position == 1){

                context.startActivity(new Intent(context, FamilyActivity.class));

            }

            else if (position == 2){

                context.startActivity(new Intent(context, ColorsActivity.class));

            }

            else if (position == 3){

                context.startActivity(new Intent(context, NounsActivityFrags.class));

            }

            else if (position == 4){

                context.startActivity(new Intent(context, VerbsActivity.class));

            }

            else if (position == 5){

                context.startActivity(new Intent(context, PhrasesActivityFrags.class));

            }

            else if (position == 6){

                context.startActivity(new Intent(context, Animals.class));

            }

            else if (position == 7){

                context.startActivity(new Intent(context, CalendarActivityFrags.class));

            }

        }

    });

Here is a snippet of one of my activities containing the objects in a listView

final ArrayList<Word> word = new ArrayList<Word>();



    word.add(new Word("one","kunye",R.drawable.one,R.raw.one));

    word.add(new Word("two","kubili",R.drawable.two,R.raw.two));

    word.add(new Word("three","kuthathu",R.drawable.three,R.raw.three));

    word.add(new Word("four","kune",R.drawable.four,R.raw.four));

    word.add(new Word("five","kuhlanu",R.drawable.five,R.raw.five));

    word.add(new Word("six","sithandathu",R.drawable.six,R.raw.six));

    word.add(new Word("seven","likhomba",R.drawable.seven,R.raw.seven));

    word.add(new Word("eight","bunane",R.drawable.eight,R.raw.eight));

    word.add(new Word("nine","lithoba",R.drawable.nine,R.raw.nine));

    word.add(new Word("ten","itjhumi",R.drawable.ten,R.raw.ten));

    word.add(new Word("COUNT ONE TO TEN","",R.raw.onetoten));







    WordAdapter adapter = new WordAdapter(this, word, R.color.category_numbers);

    ListView listView = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.list);

    listView.setAdapter(adapter);



    listView.setOnItemClickListener(new AdapterView.OnItemClickListener() {

        @Override

        public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) {

            Word sound = word.get(position);



            //Release the media player if it currently exists because we are about to play a different audio file

            releaseMediaPlayer();



            // Request audio focus for playback

            int result = mAudioManager.requestAudioFocus(afChangeListener,

                    // Use the music stream.

                    AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC,

                    // Request permanent focus.

                    AudioManager.AUDIOFOCUS_GAIN_TRANSIENT);



            if (result == AudioManager.AUDIOFOCUS_REQUEST_GRANTED) {

                // we have audio focus now







            mMediaPlayer = MediaPlayer.create(NumbersActivity.this, sound.getmAudioResourceId());

            mMediaPlayer.start();

                Toast.makeText(NumbersActivity.this, "Now Playing...", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();



            mMediaPlayer.setOnCompletionListener(mOnCompletionListener);

            }

        }

    });



}

I want user to be able to search using the english word but be able to find the whole object
