I'm trying to implement searchview on my fragment toolbar. For me other menu item is working properly but using searchview id is not either clicked or listeners invoked to perform searching. I'm showing few lines below.
crop_searchview_menu :
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto">
<item
android:id="#+id/crop_search_menu"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_search_icon"
android:title="#string/search_crop_title"
app:actionViewClass="androidx.appcompat.widget.SearchView"
app:showAsAction="always" />
<item
android:id="#+id/searchview_addcrop_menu"
android:title="#string/add_crop_btn"
app:showAsAction="ifRoom"
/>
</menu>
Here in above code the second id="searchview_addcrop_menu" is working properly on performing onitemclick. I have added this menu on my MaterialToolbar which is under AppBarLayout as below.
cropMainToolbar :
<com.google.android.material.appbar.MaterialToolbar
app:menu="#menu/crop_searchview_menu"
app:layout_scrollFlags="scroll|enterAlwaysCollapsed"
android:id="#+id/cropMainToolbar"
app:title="#string/crops_home_heading"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
I have applied onMenuItemClickListener on my toolbar because onCreateOptionsMenu() is not working for me inside fragment by any methods shown here which shows problem as my inflated menu is never shown on my toolbar.
I skipped that and tried to below in java code.
OnMenuItemClickListener code:
cropMainToolbar.setOnMenuItemClickListener(new Toolbar.OnMenuItemClickListener() {
#Override
public boolean onMenuItemClick(MenuItem item) {
if(item.getItemId()== R.id.crop_search_menu){ //not working
SearchView searchView= (SearchView) cropsMenu.findItem(R.id.crop_search_menu).getActionView();
searchView.setQueryHint(getResources().getString(R.string.search_crop_hint));
searchView.setOnQueryTextListener(new SearchView.OnQueryTextListener() {
#Override
public boolean onQueryTextSubmit(String query) {
return false;
}
#Override
public boolean onQueryTextChange(String newText) {
System.out.println("Typed "+newText); //not working
return false;
}
});
}if(item.getItemId()==R.id.searchview_addcrop_menu){ //works
Intent intent = new Intent(context, AddChangeCropActivity.class);
cropChangesLaucher.launch(intent);
}
return true;
}
});
Please help me to perform searchview execution. I'm using Android Studio 2021.1.1 gradle 7.0
You need to do the initialize SearchView in the onCreateOptionsMenu() function. Your initialization should go like this
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
SearchView searchView= (SearchView) cropsMenu.findItem(R.id.crop_search_menu).getActionView();
searchView.setQueryHint(getResources().getString(R.string.search_crop_hint));
searchView.setOnQueryTextListener(new SearchView.OnQueryTextListener() {
#Override
public boolean onQueryTextSubmit(String query) {
return false;
}
#Override
public boolean onQueryTextChange(String newText) {
System.out.println("Typed "+newText); //not working
return false;
}
});
return true;
}
Hi i am trying to add "search" functionality to my multiple tabs fragment. it is working fine with one tab, i am able to search and filter data no problem. So i use the same code for my other tabs, however, now the action bar show two search icon instead of one. I tried many different ways by hiding the searchview during detach/ attach action when switching tab, but still two search icons still pop up. One of the search icon will work for my current tab, and the other does not.
here is my code:
upcoming_event_menu.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto">
<item
android:id="#+id/action_upcoming_event_search"
android:title="search event"
app:actionViewClass="android.support.v7.widget.SearchView"
app:showAsAction="always"/>
</menu>
past_event_menu.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto">
<item
android:id="#+id/action_past_event_search"
android:title="search event"
app:actionViewClass="android.support.v7.widget.SearchView"
app:showAsAction="always"/>
</menu>
fragment 1:
public class EventTabUpcoming extends Fragment implements SearchView.OnQueryTextListener {
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState) {
final View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.event_tab_upcoming, container, false);
RecyclerView recyclerView = (RecyclerView) view.findViewById(R.id.listUpcomingEvent);
recyclerView.setLayoutManager(new LinearLayoutManager(getContext()));
recyclerView.addItemDecoration(new DividerItemDecoration(getActivity(), DividerItemDecoration.VERTICAL));
recyclerView.setAdapter(sectionAdapter);
setHasOptionsMenu(true);
return view;
}
#Override
public void onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu, MenuInflater inflater) {
inflater.inflate(R.menu.upcoming_event_menu, menu);
MenuItem item = menu.findItem(R.id.action_upcoming_event_search);
searchView = (SearchView) MenuItemCompat.getActionView(item);
searchView.setOnQueryTextListener(this);
}
#Override
public boolean onQueryTextChange(String searchText) {
Log.d(logTag, "EventTabUpcoming -> onQueryTextChange w/ searchText: " + searchText);
for (Section section : sectionAdapter.getCopyOfSectionsMap().values()) {
if (section instanceof FilterableEventSection) {
((FilterableEventSection) section).filter(searchText);
}
}
sectionAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
return true;
}
#Override
public boolean onQueryTextSubmit(String query) {
return false;
}
#Override
public void onDetach() {
super.onDetach();
Log.d(logTag, "onDetach is called");
if (searchView != null) {
searchView.clearFocus();
searchView.setVisibility(View.GONE);
}
}
#Override
public void onAttach(Context context) {
super.onAttach(context);
Log.d(logTag, "onAttach is called");
if (searchView != null) {
searchView.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
}
}
Fragment 2 is a cloned from Fragment 1 except the view is now:
final View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.event_tab_past, container, false);
and menu is
inflater.inflate(R.menu.past_event_menu, menu);
Please let me know how should i correct this problem.
Here is my solution:
Instead of inflate the menu in both tab's activities, i inflate the menu in the viewpager activity only, and in each tab fragment's onCreateOptionMenu, i get the searchview and setQueryTextListener.
ViewPager activity:
#Override
public void onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu, MenuInflater inflater) {
super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu, inflater);
/**
* Inflate menu with searchview item
*/
inflater.inflate(R.menu.event_menu, menu);
}
Tab 1
#Override
public void onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu, MenuInflater inflater) {
# get the searchview and set listener
MenuItem item = menu.findItem(R.id.action_event_search);
searchView = (SearchView) MenuItemCompat.getActionView(item);
searchView.setOnQueryTextListener(this);
}
Tab 2
#Override
public void onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu, MenuInflater inflater) {
# get the searchview and set listener
MenuItem item = menu.findItem(R.id.action_event_search);
searchView = (SearchView) MenuItemCompat.getActionView(item);
searchView.setOnQueryTextListener(this);
}
I have implemented searchview in actionbar and it is working fine. In viewpager if user switch between fragment I want to keep the state of searchview, to do so whenever fragment switch I applied query and show search result in recycler until now it is working like charm except I want to expand my searchview and put a query into it on fragment change method. I have seen lots of thread on it and I have applied multiple solutions none worked.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto">
<item
android:id="#+id/action_search"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_search_black_24dp"
app:showAsAction="always|collapseActionView"
app:actionViewClass="android.support.v7.widget.SearchView"
android:title="Search"/>
</menu>
In onCreateOptionsMenu i am inflating my menu.
#Override
public void onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu, MenuInflater inflater) {
inflater.inflate(R.menu.main2, menu);
this.menu = menu;
searchActionBar(menu);
super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu, inflater);
}
In search Actionbar i am fetching query result and save query text to mQuery and clear this text when searchview collapse.
private void searchActionBar(Menu menu){
searchViewItem = menu.findItem(R.id.action_search);
searchViewAndroidActionBar = (SearchView) MenuItemCompat.getActionView(searchViewItem);
searchViewAndroidActionBar.setIconifiedByDefault(false);
searchViewAndroidActionBar.setOnQueryTextListener(new SearchView.OnQueryTextListener() {
#SuppressLint("RestrictedApi")
#Override
public boolean onQueryTextSubmit(String query) {
searchViewAndroidActionBar.clearFocus();
mQuery = query;
fetchSearchResult(query);
return true;
}
#Override
public boolean onQueryTextChange(String newText) {
return true;
}
});
MenuItemCompat.setOnActionExpandListener(searchViewItem, new MenuItemCompat.OnActionExpandListener() {
#Override
public boolean onMenuItemActionExpand(MenuItem item) {
return true;
}
#Override
public boolean onMenuItemActionCollapse(MenuItem item) {
mQuery="";
return true;
}
});
}
This function is called when fragment switch in viewpager , if there is any query I want to set in searchview. But searchview doesn't expand. Although query submit function is running.
#Override
public void setUserVisibleHint(boolean isVisibleToUser) {
super.setUserVisibleHint(isVisibleToUser);
if (isResumed() && isVisibleToUser) {
if (searchViewAndroidActionBar != null) {
searchViewAndroidActionBar.setFocusable(true);
searchViewAndroidActionBar.setQuery(mQuery,true);
}
}
}
Any help would be appreciated.
I am wondering how to show searchview in actionbar only in parent fragment. For now, when I submit a search from searchview in actionbar and go to next fragment, I still can see the searchview in my child fragment. Any suggestions to fix that? Thanks.
For now, in my parent class
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setHasOptionsMenu(true);
}
#Override
public void onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu, MenuInflater inflater) {
// Inflate the options menu from XML
inflater.inflate(R.menu.homesearchbar, menu);
super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu,inflater);
// Get the SearchView and set the searchable configuration
SearchManager searchManager = (SearchManager) getActivity().getSystemService(Context.SEARCH_SERVICE);
SearchView searchView = (SearchView) menu.findItem(R.id.action_search).getActionView();
searchView.setMaxWidth(Integer.MAX_VALUE);
searchView.setIconifiedByDefault(false); // Do not iconify the widget; expand it by default
searchView.setOnQueryTextListener(new SearchView.OnQueryTextListener() {
#Override
public boolean onQueryTextSubmit(String query) {
Bundle bundle = new Bundle();
bundle.putString("HomeToSearch_keyword", query);
SearchVC searchVC = new SearchVC();
searchVC.setArguments(bundle);
getFragmentManager().beginTransaction().add(R.id.HomeVC_frameChildFragment, searchVC)
.addToBackStack(null)
.commit();
return false;
}
#Override
public boolean onQueryTextChange(String newText) {
return false;
}
});
}
homesearchbar.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<menu
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto">
<item
android:id="#+id/action_search"
android:title=""
app:actionViewClass="android.support.v7.widget.SearchView"
app:showAsAction="always"/>
</menu>
To hide searchView inside child fragment override inside it onPrepareOptionsMenu method. Then inside that method you can do something like this: menu.findItem(R.id.search).setVisible(false); or eventually when needed you can change it to true. And also don't forget to override onCreate method where you will put setHasOptionsMenu(true);
Trying to include a searchview in actionbar. For this, I have done the following:
Created MenuSearch.xml in the menu folder as given below:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item
android:id="#+id/action_search"
android:actionViewClass="Android.Support.V7.Widget.SearchView"
android:icon="#android:drawable/ic_menu_search"
android:showAsAction="always"
android:title="Search"/>
</menu>
Included the method OnCreateOptionsMenu in the fragment:
public override void OnCreateOptionsMenu(IMenu menu, MenuInflater inflater)
{
inflater.Inflate(Resource.Menu.MenuSearch, menu);
base.OnCreateOptionsMenu(menu, inflater);
var searchManager = (SearchManager) this.Activity.GetSystemService(Context.SearchService);
searchView = (SearchView) (menu.FindItem(Resource.Id.action_search).ActionView);
searchView.SetSearchableInfo(searchManager.GetSearchableInfo(Activity.ComponentName));
}
And I have set HasOptionsMenu = true; in oncreate of the fragment.
With the code above, I get null pointer in the line searchView.SetSearchableInfo... . Not sure why this happens, though everything seem to be correct and in place.
Based on some suggestions for resolving similar issue, I have also tried out the below option for searchview.
var item = menu.FindItem (Resource.Id.action_search);
var searchItem = MenuItemCompat.GetActionView(item);
searchView = searchItem.JavaCast<Android.Support.V7.Widget.SearchView>();
searchView.SetSearchableInfo(searchManager.GetSearchableInfo(Activity.ComponentName));
But again, I get searchView as null.
Now that I have tried the possible options, I am clueless as to why searchview becomes null.
Any help is much appreciated.
Change your MenuSearch.xml to
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto">
<item android:id="#+id/action_search"
android:title="#string/app_name"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_action_search"
app:showAsAction="collapseActionView|ifRoom"
/>
</menu>
And in your fragment, add searchView.setOnQueryTextListener
#Override
public void onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu, MenuInflater inflater) {
super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu, inflater);
menu.clear();
inflater.inflate(R.menu.search_option_menu, menu);
MenuItem item = menu.findItem(R.id.action_search);
SearchView searchView = new SearchView(((MainActivity) mContext).getSupportActionBar().getThemedContext());
// MenuItemCompat.setShowAsAction(item, //MenuItemCompat.SHOW_AS_ACTION_COLLAPSE_ACTION_VIEW | //MenuItemCompat.SHOW_AS_ACTION_IF_ROOM);
// MenuItemCompat.setActionView(item, searchView);
// These lines are deprecated in API 26 use instead
item.setShowAsAction(MenuItem.SHOW_AS_ACTION_COLLAPSE_ACTION_VIEW | MenuItem.SHOW_AS_ACTION_IF_ROOM);
item.setActionView(searchView);
searchView.setOnQueryTextListener(new SearchView.OnQueryTextListener() {
#Override
public boolean onQueryTextSubmit(String query) {
return false;
}
#Override
public boolean onQueryTextChange(String newText) {
return false;
}
});
searchView.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
}
}
);
}
Answer updated for 2018. Sorry for Kotlin, if you're using Java.
Your xml menu resource (search_menu.xml for example):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto">
<item android:id="#+id/action_search"
android:title="#string/app_name"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_search"
app:showAsAction="collapseActionView|ifRoom"
/>
</menu>
Build-up code:
override fun onCreateOptionsMenu(menu: Menu, inflater: MenuInflater?) {
super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu, inflater)
menu.clear()
inflater?.inflate(R.menu.search_menu, menu)
val searchView = SearchView((context as MainActivity).supportActionBar?.themedContext ?: context)
menu.findItem(R.id.action_search).apply {
setShowAsAction(MenuItem.SHOW_AS_ACTION_COLLAPSE_ACTION_VIEW or MenuItem.SHOW_AS_ACTION_IF_ROOM)
actionView = searchView
}
searchView.setOnQueryTextListener(object : SearchView.OnQueryTextListener {
override fun onQueryTextSubmit(query: String): Boolean {
return false
}
override fun onQueryTextChange(newText: String): Boolean {
return false
}
})
searchView.setOnClickListener {view -> }
}
You'll probably also need to put this line in onCreate() (worked for my fragment) to get this all to appear:
setHasOptionsMenu(true)
For late 2018 and for apis >= 26 compatible (deprecation warnings) and a properly formatted answer:
The menu.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto">
<item android:id="#+id/action_search"
android:title="Search_change_me_with_proper_id"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_action_search"
app:showAsAction="collapseActionView|ifRoom"/>
</menu>
Java code inside the ActivityFragment:
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState) {
setHasOptionsMenu(true); // Add this!
return inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_add_app, container, false);
}
#Override
public void onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu, MenuInflater inflater) {
super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu, inflater);
menu.clear();
inflater.inflate(R.menu.menu_add_app, menu);
MenuItem item = menu.findItem(R.id.action_search_menu_add_app);
item.setShowAsAction(MenuItem.SHOW_AS_ACTION_COLLAPSE_ACTION_VIEW | MenuItem.SHOW_AS_ACTION_IF_ROOM);
SearchView searchView = (SearchView) item.getActionView();
searchView.setOnQueryTextListener(new SearchView.OnQueryTextListener() {
#Override
public boolean onQueryTextSubmit(String query) {
return false;
}
#Override
public boolean onQueryTextChange(String newText) {
// Here is where we are going to implement the filter logic
return true;
}
});
}
OR as a second option you let the ActivityFragment implement SearchView.OnQueryTextListener and then use the menu search:
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState) {
setHasOptionsMenu(true); // Add this! (as above)
return inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_add_app, container, false);
}
#Override
public void onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu, MenuInflater inflater) {
super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu, inflater);
menu.clear();
inflater.inflate(R.menu.menu_add_app, menu);
MenuItem item = menu.findItem(R.id.action_search_menu_add_app);
item.setShowAsAction(MenuItem.SHOW_AS_ACTION_COLLAPSE_ACTION_VIEW | MenuItem.SHOW_AS_ACTION_IF_ROOM);
SearchView searchView = (SearchView) item.getActionView();
searchView.setOnQueryTextListener(this); // Fragment implements SearchView.OnQueryTextListener
}
#Override
public boolean onQueryTextChange(String query) {
// Here is where we are going to implement the filter logic
return false;
}
#Override
public boolean onQueryTextSubmit(String query) {
return false;
}
i solved this issue i wants to share my answer for searchView NullPointerException
we need to remove below method from Main Activity
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
int id = item.getItemId();
return true;
and use inside fragment in OnActivityCreated setHasOptionsMenu(true)
and Override methods
#Override
public void onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu, MenuInflater inflater) {
inflater.inflate(R.menu.menu, menu);
}
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
// handle item selection
switch (item.getItemId()) {
case R.id.action_search:
// onCall(); //your logic
return true;
default:
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
}
Your search_options_menu.xml should look like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto">
<item android:id="#+id/action_search"
android:title="#string/app_name"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_action_search"
app:showAsAction="collapseActionView|ifRoom"
/>
</menu>
Override onCreateOptionMenu method in your fragment setHasOptionsMenu(true); inside onCreate() on your fragment.
#Override
public void onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu, MenuInflater inflater) {
super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu, inflater);
menu.clear();
inflater.inflate(R.menu.search_option_menu, menu);
MenuItem item = menu.findItem(R.id.action_search);
SearchView searchView = (SearchView) MenuItemCompat.getActionView(menuItem);
MenuItemCompat.setShowAsAction(item, MenuItemCompat.SHOW_AS_ACTION_COLLAPSE_ACTION_VIEW | MenuItemCompat.SHOW_AS_ACTION_IF_ROOM);
MenuItemCompat.setActionView(item, searchView);
searchView.setOnQueryTextListener(new SearchView.OnQueryTextListener() {
#Override
public boolean onQueryTextSubmit(String query) {
return false;
}
#Override
public boolean onQueryTextChange(String newText) {
//Do search code here
return true;
}
});
}
search_view.setOnQueryTextListener(object: SearchView.OnQueryTextListener {
override fun onQueryTextSubmit(query: String?): Boolean {
return false
}
override fun onQueryTextChange(query: String?): Boolean {
adapter.filter.filter(query)
return true
}
})
And don't add the intent filter for your activity in Manifest file.
In my fragment's onCreateOptionsMenu the code
SearchManager searchManager =
(SearchManager)getActivity().getSystemService(Context.SEARCH_SERVICE);
SearchableInfo searchableInfo =
searchManager.getSearchableInfo(getActivity().getComponentName());
searchItem = menu.findItem(R.id.menu_search);
SearchView searchView = (SearchView) searchItem.getActionView();
searchView.setSearchableInfo( searchableInfo);
produced following error message:
java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'void android.support.v7.widget.SearchView.setSearchableInfo (android.app.SearchableInfo)' on a null object reference
After i changed in menu.xml android:actionViewClass to app:actionViewClass the problem did not occur again.
menu.xml :
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
