Hello guys,

Any news on this?
I've found the following after some research: https://futurestud.io/tutorials/android-how-to-delay-changedtextevent-on-androids-edittext

For reference:

private EditText searchText;  
private TextView resultText;  
private Timer timer;

private TextWatcher searchTextWatcher = new TextWatcher() {  
    @Override
    public void afterTextChanged(Editable arg0) {
        // user typed: start the timer
        timer = new Timer();
        timer.schedule(new TimerTask() {
            @Override
            public void run() {
                // do your actual work here
            }
        }, 600); // 600ms delay before the timer executes the „run“ method from TimerTask
    }

    @Override
    public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int count, int after) {
        // nothing to do here
    }

    @Override
    public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int before, int count) {
        // user is typing: reset already started timer (if existing)
        if (timer != null) {
            timer.cancel();
        }
    }
};

Is possible to attach it on a MaterialSearchView object?
