The data is the data you pass to the ArrayAdapter. Or the ArrayAdapter's data.

Just use the notify methods of the Adapter. For instance:
@Override
protected void publishResults(CharSequence constraint,
FilterResults results) {
//noinspection unchecked
mObjects = (List<T>) results.values;
if (results.count > 0) {
notifyDataSetChanged();
} else {
notifyDataSetInvalidated();
}
}

No, it has to be an Object. For instance, the CursorAdapter publishes
a Cursor as the result, not an array or a list.
