SearchView :Triggering onQueryTextChange on Collapsing of the searchView

searchView.setOnQueryTextListener(new SearchView.OnQueryTextListener() {
#Override
public boolean onQueryTextSubmit(String query) {
return false;
}
#Override
public boolean onQueryTextChange(String newText) {
search(newText);
return true;
}
});
I don't want search(newText) to be executed when searchview collapses.
I tried
if(searchView.isShown) search(newText);
and
if(!searchView.isIconified) search(newText);
but when I close the searchview, searchView.isShown and searchView.isIconified values will be updated after triggering onQueryTextChange.
My onCreateOptionMenu code:
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.menu_contacts, menu);
addContactMenuItem = menu.findItem(R.id.action_add_contact);
searchViewMenuItem = menu.findItem(R.id.action_search);
searchView = (SearchView) MenuItemCompat.getActionView(searchViewMenuItem);
MenuItemCompat.setOnActionExpandListener(searchViewMenuItem, new MenuItemCompat.OnActionExpandListener() {
#Override
public boolean onMenuItemActionExpand(MenuItem item) {
addContactMenuItem.setVisible(false);
if (contactListAdapter != null)
contactListAdapter.getFilter().filter(searchView.getQuery());
return true;
}
#Override
public boolean onMenuItemActionCollapse(MenuItem item) {
addContactMenuItem.setVisible(true);
contactListAdapter.performGroupBasedFiltering(groupSpinner.getAdapter().getItemId(groupSpinner.getSelectedItemPosition()));
return true;
}
});
return true;
}
Please help me out! Thanks in advance.

Try this use setOnActionExpandListener
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.search_menu, menu);
MenuItem item = menu.findItem(R.id.action_search);
SearchView searchView = (SearchView) MenuItemCompat.getActionView(item);
searchView.setOnQueryTextListener(this);
MenuItemCompat.setOnActionExpandListener(item,
new MenuItemCompat.OnActionExpandListener() {
#Override
public boolean onMenuItemActionExpand(MenuItem menuItem) {
// perform your action here
return true;
}
#Override
public boolean onMenuItemActionCollapse(MenuItem menuItem) {
// perform your action here
return true;
}
});
return true;
}
EDIT
as per your comment
I need search(newText) not to be executed on collapsing.
than set this searchView.setOnQueryTextListener(null); when you don't need

onQueryTextChange triggered after app resume

I am stumbed with animated searchview onQueryTextListener. When activity and fragment created first it works nice. Then I press home button, open other apps, do some work there to wipe the data of searchview activity and then return to the app. And when activity and fragment resume onQueryTextChange method is triggered by it's own. I tried this issue
Fragment replacement triggers onQueryTextChange on searchview
but it did not help, helps only when searchview SHOW_AS_ACTION_NEVER, but in this case I can not see searchview. How to prevent self-triggering of OnQueryTextListener?
Snippet from fragment
#Override
public void onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu, MenuInflater inflater) {
searchView = new SearchView(getSherlockActivity().getSupportActionBar()
.getThemedContext());
searchView.setOnQueryTextListener(new OnQueryTextListener() {
#Override
public boolean onQueryTextSubmit(String query) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
return false;
}
#Override
public boolean onQueryTextChange(String newText) {
if (newText.length() > 0) {
fpAdapter.getFilter().filter(newText);
} else {
loadData();
}
return false;
}
});
TextView searchText = (TextView) searchView
.findViewById(R.id.abs__search_src_text);
searchText.setTextColor(Color.WHITE);
searchText.setCursorVisible(false);
ImageView searchButton = (ImageView) searchView
.findViewById(R.id.abs__search_button);
searchButton.setImageResource(R.drawable.search_menu_button);
LinearLayout searchEditFrame = (LinearLayout) searchView
.findViewById(R.id.abs__search_edit_frame);
searchEditFrame.setBackgroundResource(android.R.color.transparent);
View searchPlate = searchView.findViewById(R.id.abs__search_plate);
searchPlate.setBackgroundColor(Color.argb(0, 0, 0, 0));
menu.add("Search")
.setActionView(searchView)
.setShowAsAction(MenuItem.SHOW_AS_ACTION_IF_ROOM);
final MenuItem searchMenuItem = menu.getItem(0);
final Animation in = AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(getSherlockActivity()
.getApplicationContext(), R.anim.search_in);
final Animation out = AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(
getSherlockActivity().getApplicationContext(),
R.anim.search_out);
searchView.setQueryHint(getResources().getText(
R.string.search_messages_hint));
searchView.setIconifiedByDefault(true);
searchView
.setOnQueryTextFocusChangeListener(new View.OnFocusChangeListener() {
#Override
public void onFocusChange(View view,
boolean queryTextFocused) {
if (!queryTextFocused) {
// searchView.startAnimation(out);
searchMenuItem.collapseActionView();
} else {
searchView.startAnimation(in);
}
}
});
super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu, inflater);
}
Update: This appears only in HTC sensation XL with Android 4.0.3, on 4.2 I don't see this problem.

Found the only one solution - set listener in onResume:
#Override
public void onResume() {
super.onResume();
searchView.setOnQueryTextListener(new OnQueryTextListener() {
#Override
public boolean onQueryTextSubmit(String query) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
return false;
}
#Override
public boolean onQueryTextChange(String newText) {
if (newText.length() > 0) {
fpAdapter.getFilter().filter(newText);
} else {
loadData();
}
return false;
}
}); }

use this code
searchView.setOnQueryTextListener(new SearchView.OnQueryTextListener() {
#Override
public boolean onQueryTextSubmit(String s) {
return false;
}
#Override
public boolean onQueryTextChange(final String s) {
if(searchView.getWidth()>0)
{
// your code here
}
return false;
}
});

You can set to use the SearchView only when it's in focus. I had a similar problem where the search was performing in my fragment every time when users resumed it. I solve it with the following method:
-Add a boolean to see when SearchView is in focus:
//by default the SearchView isn't in focus so set it to false.
private boolean shouldSearch = false;
searchView.setOnQueryTextFocusChangeListener((view, hasFocus) -> {
if (hasFocus) {
shouldSearch = true;
} else {
shouldSearch = false;
}
});
searchView.setOnQueryTextListener(new SearchView.OnQueryTextListener() {
#Override
public boolean onQueryTextSubmit(String query) {
return false;
}
#Override
public boolean onQueryTextChange(String newText) {
if (shouldSearch) {
//do your search here
}
return true;
}
});

This is a known issue. You can fix by checking to see if the search is "iconified" i.e only showing the magnifying glass icon or if it is expanded ( which means the user is interacting with the search view)
searchView.setOnQueryTextListener(object : SearchView.OnQueryTextListener {
override fun onQueryTextSubmit(query: String?): Boolean {
//your code here
return true
}
override fun onQueryTextChange(newText: String?): Boolean {
//this will catch firing event
if (searchView.isIconified) {
return true
}
//your code here
return true
}
})

submit a query when click on search button in keyboard

I have search view in my fragment. when I click on it , keyboard is open and I can type text. I want when I click on search button in keyboard , my query send to my server and get result but I don't know how get search event. any solution?

You have to extend OnQueryTextListener, attach the listener and implement onQueryTextSubmit.
Example:
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
searchView = (SearchView) menu.findItem(R.id.mActionSearch).getActionView();
searchView.setOnQueryTextListener(this);
return true;
}
#Override
public boolean onQueryTextSubmit(String query) {
//Do something here
return false;
}
#Override
public boolean onQueryTextChange(String newText) {
return false;
}

Pozzo Apps Answer is right
but for api below 11 and compat library you can use something like this :
MenuItem search_menu=(MenuItem)menu.findItem(R.id.action_search);
SearchView searchView =(SearchView)MenuItemCompat.getActionView(search_menu);

You can also apply setOnKeyListener on search view like as below:
searchview.setOnKeyListener(new View.OnKeyListener(
{
Public boolean onKey(View v, int keyCode, KeyEvent event)
{
if(event.getAction() == KeyEvent.ACTION_DOWN)
{
switch(keyCode)
{
Case KeyEvent.KECODE_ENTER:
// Apply action which you want on search key press on keypad
return true;
default:
break;
}
} return false;
}
});

You have to add new OnQueryTextListener, and implement onQueryTextSubmit. This also works in a fragment.
Example:
#Override
public void onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu, MenuInflater inflater) {
inflater.inflate(R.menu.main_search, menu);
SearchView sv = (SearchView) menu.findItem(R.id.action_search).getActionView();
sv.setOnQueryTextListener(new SearchView.OnQueryTextListener() {
#Override
public boolean onQueryTextSubmit(String query) {
//Do something here
Toast.makeText(getActivity(), "Search: " + query, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT ).show();
return false;
}
#Override
public boolean onQueryTextChange(String newText) {
return false;
}
});
super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu,inflater);
}

Searchview closing issue

I want to handle collapsing state but I can not handle onActionExpandListener. I use actionbarsherlock and here are my codes. Where do I make mistake?
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
getSupportMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
menu.getItem(0).setVisible(aramaOnOff);
menu.getItem(1).setVisible(filterOnOff);
SearchView searchView = (SearchView)menu.findItem(R.id.imgBuyutec).getActionView();
searchView.setOnQueryTextListener(this);
searchViewItem = menu.findItem(R.id.imgBuyutec);
searchViewItem.setOnActionExpandListener(new MenuItem.OnActionExpandListener() {
#Override
public boolean onMenuItemActionExpand(MenuItem item) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
return true;
}
#Override
public boolean onMenuItemActionCollapse(MenuItem item) {
return true;
}
});
return true;
}

Use appcompat-v7 , http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/actionbar.html
and then use the following code,
MenuItemCompat.setOnActionExpandListener(searchViewItem,new MenuItemCompat.OnActionExpandListener() {
#Override
public boolean onMenuItemActionExpand(MenuItem item) {
//whatever
return true;
}
#Override
public boolean onMenuItemActionCollapse(MenuItem item) {
//whatever
return true;
}
});

Android ActionBarSherlock, SearchView `setOnCloseListener` is not working

I am using SearchView and it is working fine but only setOnCloseListener is not working; Here is my code
import com.actionbarsherlock.widget.SearchView.OnCloseListener;
and
searchView.setOnCloseListener(new OnCloseListener() {
#Override
public boolean onClose() {
Toast.makeText(context, "close", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
return false;
}
});
**EDIT****
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
//Used to put dark icons on light action bar
//Create the search view
final SearchView searchView = new SearchView(getSupportActionBar().getThemedContext());
searchView.setQueryHint("Search");
searchView.setIconifiedByDefault(true);
//search button
menu.add(Menu.NONE,Menu.NONE,1,"Search a word")
.setIcon(R.drawable.abs__ic_search_api_holo_light)
.setActionView(searchView)
.setShowAsAction(MenuItem.SHOW_AS_ACTION_ALWAYS | MenuItem.SHOW_AS_ACTION_COLLAPSE_ACTION_VIEW);
MenuItem sView = menu.findItem(1);
sView.setOnActionExpandListener(this);
return true;
}
#Override
public boolean onMenuItemActionCollapse(MenuItem item) {
adopter.getFilter().filter(null);
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "collapse", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
return true; // Return true to collapse action view
}
#Override
public boolean onMenuItemActionExpand(MenuItem item) {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Expand", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
return true; // Return true to expand action view
}

Solved it by myself. Just leave setOnCloseListener it will not work, and put following code in onCreateOptionsMenu
// searchView.setOnCloseListener(new OnCloseListener() {
// #Override
// public boolean onClose() {
// adapter.getFilter().filter("");
// Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "on close", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
// return false;
// }
// });
MenuItem menuItem = menu.findItem(ID_OF_SEARCHVIEW);
menuItem.setOnActionExpandListener(new OnActionExpandListener() {
#Override
public boolean onMenuItemActionExpand(MenuItem item) {
adapter.getFilter().filter("");
return true;
}
#Override
public boolean onMenuItemActionCollapse(MenuItem item) {
adapter.getFilter().filter("");
return true;
}
});

I have encountered the same problem with onCloseListener not invoking for the SearchView.
Understand from the bug issue raised in 25758, and some postings I have read, to invoke onCloseListener, you need to set:
searchView.setIconifiedByDefault(true);
But for my case I wanted to have the search view opened & not iconified all the time. I manage to resolve this by adding one more line below:
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater();
inflater.inflate(R.menu.search_bar, menu);
SearchManager searchManager = (SearchManager) getSystemService(Context.SEARCH_SERVICE);
searchView = (SearchView) menu.findItem(R.id.search).getActionView();
searchView.setSearchableInfo(searchManager.getSearchableInfo(getComponentName()));
searchView.setOnQueryTextListener(queryTextListener);
searchView.setIconifiedByDefault(true);
searchView.setIconified(false);
return true;
}
The searchView.setIconified(false) will cause the searchView to open up, despite setting the default to iconified to true in the previous line. In this way, I managed to have both a SearchView
that opens up all the time & having it invoke the onCloseListener.

I'm using this code. And it works perfectly
#Override
public void onStartSearch() {
}
#Override
public void onSearch(String search) {
}
#Override
public void onCloseSearch() {
}
#Override
public void onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu, MenuInflater inflater) {
inflater.inflate(R.menu.your_menu, menu);
// Associate searchable configuration with the SearchView
MenuItem searchItem = menu.findItem(R.id.action_search);
mSearchView = (SearchView) MenuItemCompat.getActionView(searchItem); //here I user appcompat, but you can take it just from actionbarsherlock
SearchView.SearchAutoComplete searchAutoComplete = (SearchView.SearchAutoComplete) mSearchView.findViewById(android.support.v7.appcompat.R.id.search_src_text);
searchAutoComplete.setTextColor(getResources().getColor(R.color.action_bar_text_color));
mSearchView.setIconifiedByDefault(true);
mSearchView.setSubmitButtonEnabled(false);
/**
* Set all of different kinds of listeners
*/
MenuItemCompat.setOnActionExpandListener(searchItem, new MenuItemCompat.OnActionExpandListener() {
#Override
public boolean onMenuItemActionCollapse(MenuItem item) {
menuIsOpen = false;
onCloseSearch();
return true;
}
#Override
public boolean onMenuItemActionExpand(MenuItem item) {
menuIsOpen = true;
onStartSearch();
return true;
}
});
mSearchView.setOnQueryTextListener(new SearchView.OnQueryTextListener() {
#Override
public boolean onQueryTextChange(String s) {
onSearch(s);
return false;
}
#Override
public boolean onQueryTextSubmit(String s) {
onSearch(s);
return true;
}
});
super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu, inflater);
}
/**
* Function for closing search when android is less than 14
*/
public boolean onBackButton() {
if (AndroidUtils.getSdkVersion() >= 14)
return false;
if (menuIsOpen) {
menuIsOpen = false;
getActivity().supportInvalidateOptionsMenu();
onCloseSearch();
return true;
}
return false;
}
After backButton it close search, or just by selecting close from action bar.

You can use a OnActionExpandListener:
public void onCreateOptionsMenu(final Menu menu, final MenuInflater inflater) {
SearchView searchView = new SearchView(((SherlockFragmentActivity) getActivity()).getSupportActionBar().getThemedContext());
searchView.setIconifiedByDefault(true);
// ...
MenuItem menuItem = menu.add(R.string.search);
// ...
menuItem.setOnActionExpandListener(this);
}
#Override
public boolean onMenuItemActionExpand(final MenuItem item) {
mInSearchMode = true;
return true;
}
#Override
public boolean onMenuItemActionCollapse(final MenuItem item) {
mInSearchMode = false;
return true;
}
