I'm trying to use one searchview from actitivity toolbar menu, to filter three fragments attached to it (It's a tabbed activity) at the same time and categorizing the results in the different fragments . Kind of like the way Instagram does theirs. I've tried inflating the onCreateOptionsMenu in each fragment, but this just starts a new instance of the search i.e (search icon is .istIconified(); I want the differnt tabs to show the query text of what ever was typed in it and perform the search at the same time.Can't seem to find this solution on SO, Any help or resource will be very much appreciated
Well it is possible.
first of all use "setOnQueryTextListener"
#Override
public void onPrepareOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
super.onPrepareOptionsMenu(menu);
MenuItem item = menu.findItem(R.id.action_search);
SearchView searchView = (SearchView) MenuItemCompat.getActionView(item);
searchView.setOnQueryTextListener(new SearchView.OnQueryTextListener() {
#Override
public boolean onQueryTextSubmit(String query) {
return false;
}
#Override
public boolean onQueryTextChange(String newText) {
Log.i("well", " this worked");
return false;
}
});
}
After that pass this string to currently selected fragment by calling fragment method from the activity. click here to check how to call fragment method from activity
From fragment method you can do anything which you want to do for.

In my MainActivity I have an active search button on my Action Bar/Tool bar/menu. I was wondering if there is a way to filter a list in a Fragment form that active search? Thanks in advance!
It would be even better if each fragment (they are in a viewpager + action bar with tabs) Can have its own action bar!
You should create a custom adapter for your activity's view pager
Then show fragments from adapter, now you have 2 choices for your purpose :
define custom toolbar for each fragment in it's own layout (.xml) file and then use it or
pass data from activity to fragment adapter and from fragment adapter to your purpose fragment(s) and do filtering.
Good Luck my friend
If you do not want to implement using a system service for searching as described in docs, then one way of doing it would be as follows:
In the onCreate method get a handle to your fragment
// if you fragment is embedded with <fragment tag>
mMySearchFragment = (MySearchfragment)getFragmentManager()
.findFragmentById(R.id.your_fragment)
//in case your fragment is added programmatically then, of course,
getFragmentManager()
.beginTransaction()
.add(fragmentid, gragmentinstance, TAG)
.commit();
In the onCreateOptionsMenu do something like
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.menu_searching, menu);
mSearchView = (SearchView) menu.findItem(R.id.menu_search_message).getActionView();
mSearchView.setOnQueryTextListener(new SearchView.OnQueryTextListener(){
#Override
public boolean onQueryTextSubmit(String query) {handleSearch(query)}
#Override
public boolean onQueryTextChange(String newText) { ... }
});
return true;
}
And finally
private void handleSearch(String query){
if(mMySearchFragment != null){
mMySearchFragment.updateSearchResults(query);
}
}
Your fragment would need to have a public method updateSearchResults(String query) where you would run the search and update your list view's adapter with the new collection
Also, you can import the BasicContactables sample in the Studio (File -> Import Sample) and investigate the code
I have a searchView in my SearchActivity and it creates an intent to launch a SearchActivityResults according to the documentation here: http://developer.android.com/training/search/setup.html
How do I need to go if I want my SearchView to trigger a search from within my activity, when the soft keyboard lower right button is pressed to trigger the search?
you just need to get your searchView menu , use override onCreateOptionsMenu
SearchView searchView = (SearchView) MenuItemCompat
.getActionView(mSearchMenuItem);
searchView.setOnQueryTextListener(new SearchView.OnQueryTextListener() {
#Override
public boolean onQueryTextSubmit(String s) {
return false;
}
#Override
public boolean onQueryTextChange(String s) {
// do your search on change or save the last string in search
return false;
}
});
// you can get query
searchView.getQuery();
Normal Behavior:
When I request search in the SearchView widget on ActionBar, after
clicking soft-keyboard's search action button, the input text is
cleared from the SearchView.
My desired behavior:
I want the my input text to remain the same, when I perform search. How is that possible?
I have read official docs for SearchView, and guides from here, and also here, but haven't had any luck.
EDIT:
I discovered that this text reset happens whenever I scroll my ViewPager.
Try this:
mSearchView.setOnQueryTextListener(new SearchView.OnQueryTextListener()
{
#Override
public boolean onQueryTextSubmit(String query)
{
mSearchView.setQuery(query,false);
return false;
}
#Override
public boolean onQueryTextChange(String newText)
{
return false;
}
});
If your search widget calls another activity to handle the query, it gets cleared because the activity is newly created.
Therefore you need to set the query manually from 2 places:
onCreateOptionsMenu where you initialize your search widget
onNewIntent where you receive your query
Why from 2 places? Because if the search-handling activity is newly created, onNewIntent is called first and the search widget is not yet ready to be used. In that case save the query at onNewIntent and set it at onCreateOptionsMenu. Otherwise it can be directly set at onNewIntent.
Here's an example:
private String mQuery;
private SearchView mSearchView;
#Override
protected void onNewIntent(Intent intent) {
super.onNewIntent(intent);
mQuery = intent.getStringExtra(SearchManager.QUERY);
if (mSearchView != null) {
mSearchView.setQuery(mQuery, false);
}
// Do something with the new query
}
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// Inflate the actionbar items
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.actionbar_items, menu);
// Get SearchView and set the searchable configuration
SearchManager searchManager = (SearchManager) getSystemService(Context.SEARCH_SERVICE);
mSearchView = (SearchView) menu.findItem(R.id.action_search).getActionView();
mSearchView.setSearchableInfo(searchManager.getSearchableInfo(getComponentName()));
// Disable collapsing the search widget
mSearchView.setIconifiedByDefault(false);
// Set the query
mSearchView.setQuery(mQuery, false);
return true;
}
I used Android search widget in action bar. When I write my query and press on search button or done, everything works in my search part, but I want to remove that query in search field, or Resetting Search Widget (SearchView) value.
For example: if I write "test" after pressing search button I don't want to have this "test" in my search filed. Would you please let me know how can I remove my search query!
Thanks in advance!
I'm using SearchView widget from android
The method you are looking for is setQuery(), documented here:https://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/SearchView.html#setQuery(java.lang.CharSequence, boolean)
Here's some example code which clears the search bar after a search is performed. You probably already have an implementation of onCreateOptionsMenu() in your activity or fragment, so just use the bits you are missing.
#Override
public void onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu, MenuInflater inflater) {
inflater.inflate(R.menu.my_menu, menu);
// Find search item
MenuItem item = menu.findItem(R.id.my_search_item);
// Get search view attached to item
final SearchView searchView = (SearchView) mSearchItem.getActionView();
searchView.setOnQueryTextListener(new SearchView.OnQueryTextListener() {
#Override
public boolean onQueryTextSubmit(String query) {
// Perform search here!
performSearch(query);
// Clear the text in search bar but (don't trigger a new search!)
searchView.setQuery("", false);
return true;
}
#Override
public boolean onQueryTextChange(String newText) {
return true;
}
});
}
I am working on an application that uses a SearchView embedded in the ActionBar. It works perfectly across the app, except for in one Activity. In this Activity, I can click the search icon to display the search view across the action bar, but as soon as I type anything into the search view, my text input is ignored (no text is displayed), and focus moves away from the search box.
The main difference between this activity and the others in my application is that this activity has tabs that are implemented using TabActivity. I am wondering if that is the cause, and if anyone has a potential solution.
This is the code for the SearchView:
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater();
inflater.inflate(R.menu.menu, menu);
SearchView searchView = (SearchView) menu.findItem(R.id.menu_search).getActionView();
searchView.setSubmitButtonEnabled(true);
searchView.setOnQueryTextListener(queryTextListener);
searchView.setQueryHint("product search");
return true;
}
final SearchView.OnQueryTextListener queryTextListener = new SearchView.OnQueryTextListener() {
#Override
public boolean onQueryTextChange(String newText) {
return true;
}
#Override
public boolean onQueryTextSubmit(String query) {
_listControl = new ListControl(_thisProduct,query);
_listControl.startGetData();
return true;
}
};
This is the setup of my tabbed activity. Tabs switch between different views.
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.product);
//set up tabs
mTabHost = getTabHost();
mTabHost.addTab(mTabHost.newTabSpec("tab_test1").setIndicator("Info").setContent(R.id.productLayout));
mTabHost.addTab(mTabHost.newTabSpec("tab_test2").setIndicator("Specs").setContent(R.id.specLayout));
mTabHost.addTab(mTabHost.newTabSpec("tab_test3").setIndicator("Reviews").setContent(R.id.reviewLayout));
mTabHost.addTab(mTabHost.newTabSpec("tab_test4").setIndicator("Buy").setContent(R.id.textView4));//
mTabHost.setCurrentTab(0);
mTabHost.getTabWidget().getChildAt(0).getLayoutParams().height = 40;
mTabHost.getTabWidget().getChildAt(1).getLayoutParams().height = 40;
mTabHost.getTabWidget().getChildAt(2).getLayoutParams().height = 40;
mTabHost.getTabWidget().getChildAt(3).getLayoutParams().height = 40;
I am definite that the SearchView should work with a tabbed activity and will try and let you know very soon. Meanwhile could you please try and use ViewPager instead of the tabbed activity you have which works with fragments or as an option ActionBar itself provides functionality to display tabs. Do lemme know how it goes.
