Search with overlay entry in flutter

I am using an overlay entry which contains a listviewbuilder. Now that list is being filtered when user give an input. the issue is that when I filtered the list without overlay it works fine but when I user overlay the list is not filtered on input. it is filtered when i remove a value from user input. Like I entered Dorm-G-01 but it will not show results of it if I remove 1 from it then it gives the result of Dorm-G-01. According to me setState is not changing upon input.

    import 'dart:async';

import 'package:cloud_firestore/cloud_firestore.dart';
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';

class Address extends StatefulWidget {
  @override
  _AddressState createState() => _AddressState();
}

class _AddressState extends State<Address> {
  final FocusNode _focusNode = FocusNode();
  TextEditingController addressController = TextEditingController();
  late OverlayEntry _overlayEntry;
  List<String> _hostel = [];

  List<String> _filter = [];
  String serachText="";
  Timer? _debounce;
  final LayerLink _layerLink = LayerLink();
  void getAddress() {
    final Stream<QuerySnapshot> _usersStream =
        FirebaseFirestore.instance.collection('Services').snapshots();
  }

  @override
  void initState() {
    _hostel.add('Dorm-G-01');
    _hostel.add('Dorm-G-02');
    _hostel.add('Dorm-G-03');
    _hostel.add('Dorm-G-04');
    _hostel.add('Dorm-G-05');
    _hostel.add('Dorm-G-06');
    _hostel.add('Dorm-G-07');

    // _filter = _hostel;

    addressController.addListener(_onSerachChanged);
    _focusNode.addListener(() {
      if (_focusNode.hasFocus) {
        this._overlayEntry = this._createOverlayEntry();
          Overlay.of(context)!.insert(this._overlayEntry);

    var size = renderBox.size;
    final offset = renderBox.localToGlobal(Offset.zero);
    return OverlayEntry(

Solution 1: Zia Ur Rehman

I was able to fix this issue by just passing the filtration method inside textformfiled->onchanged

   @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return CompositedTransformTarget(
      link: this._layerLink,
      child: TextFormField(

        controller: addressController,
        focusNode: this._focusNode,
        decoration: InputDecoration(labelText: 'Address'),
        onChanged: (value) {
          setState(() {
            _filter = _hostel.where((hostel) => hostel.toLowerCase().replaceAll(RegExp(r'[^\w\\s]+'), '').contains(value.toLowerCase().replaceAll(RegExp(r'[^\w\\s]+'), ''))).toList();
          });
        },
      ),
    );
  }
