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

My app doesn't load toolbar options

I'm doing a search bar, but I found a problem, because if I put the code at the end of MainActivity it doesn't load options.
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main_menu, menu);
return super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.HONEYCOMB){
SearchManager manager = ( SearchManager ) getSystemService ( Context.SEARCH_SERVICE );
SearchView search = (SearchView) menu.findItem(R.id.action_search).getActionView();
search.setSearchableInfo(manager.getSearchableInfo(getComponentName()));
search.setOnQueryTextListener(new SearchView.OnQueryTextListener() {
#Override
public boolean onQueryTextSubmit(String query) {
return false;
}
#Override
public boolean onQueryTextChange(String query) {
return false;
}
});
}}
What should I do? Did I do something wrong?
Thanks in advance

Your logic is after the return statement, hence, never reached. Try this:
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main_menu, menu);
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.HONEYCOMB){
SearchManager manager = ( SearchManager ) getSystemService ( Context.SEARCH_SERVICE );
SearchView search = (SearchView) menu.findItem(R.id.action_search).getActionView();
search.setSearchableInfo(manager.getSearchableInfo(getComponentName()));
search.setOnQueryTextListener(new SearchView.OnQueryTextListener() {
#Override
public boolean onQueryTextSubmit(String query) {
return false;
}
#Override
public boolean onQueryTextChange(String query) {
return false;
}
});
}
return super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
}

if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.HONEYCOMB){
That is never reached, your return statement is before that. The rest looks fine.

Action bar search view in fragment is not working

Here is what I did so far -
#Override
public void onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu, MenuInflater inflater) {
inflater.inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu, inflater);
getActivity().setTitle("DASHBOARD");
SearchManager searchManager = (SearchManager)getContext(). getSystemService(Context.SEARCH_SERVICE);
SearchView searchView = (SearchView) menu.findItem(R.id.action_search).getActionView();
searchView.setSearchableInfo(searchManager.getSearchableInfo(getActivity().getComponentName()));
searchView.setIconifiedByDefault(false);
SearchView.OnQueryTextListener textChangeListener = new SearchView.OnQueryTextListener()
{
#Override
public boolean onQueryTextChange(String newText)
{
// this is your adapter that will be filtadapter.getFilter().filter(newText);
System.out.println("on text chnge text: "+newText);
return true;
}
#Override
public boolean onQueryTextSubmit(String query)
{
// this is your adapter that will be filtered
adapter.getFilter().filter(query);
System.out.println("on query submit: "+query);
return true;
}
};
searchView.setOnQueryTextListener(textChangeListener);
}
Here code Search view in action bar, it only filter the one name other does not work . The code adapter class code is below . Actionbar doing in fragment
adapter = new FavouritesAdapter(getContext(),distanceArr,contactName,status,leadDetailsId,addressLine1,addressLine2,city,state,zipCode);
list.setAdapter(adapter);
list.setTextFilterEnabled(true);

Setting Background for Actionbar SearchItem

I would like to set the background (something like EditText Background) to my ActionBar SearchItem. That's the current action bar.
I would like to set this background drawable to that.
Here's how I create the searchItem
#Override
public void onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu, MenuInflater inflater) {
super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu, inflater);
inflater.inflate(R.menu.guest_list, menu);
MenuItem searchItem = menu.findItem(R.id.search);
SearchManager searchManager = (SearchManager) getActivity()
.getSystemService(Context.SEARCH_SERVICE);
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < Build.VERSION_CODES.HONEYCOMB) {
SearchView searchView = (SearchView) searchItem.getActionView();
searchView.setSearchableInfo(searchManager
.getSearchableInfo(getActivity().getComponentName()));
searchView.setIconified(true);
searchView.setSubmitButtonEnabled(true);
searchView.setOnQueryTextListener(new OnQueryTextListener() {
#Override
public boolean onQueryTextSubmit(String query) {
setFilter(query);
return false;
}
#Override
public boolean onQueryTextChange(String query) {
setFilter(query);
return false;
}
});
} else if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.HONEYCOMB) {
SearchView searchView = (SearchView) searchItem.getActionView();
searchView.setSearchableInfo(searchManager
.getSearchableInfo(getActivity().getComponentName()));
searchView.setIconified(true);
searchView.setSubmitButtonEnabled(true);
searchView.setOnQueryTextListener(new OnQueryTextListener() {
#Override
public boolean onQueryTextSubmit(String query) {
setFilter(query);
return false;
}
#Override
public boolean onQueryTextChange(String query) {
setFilter(query);
return false;
}
});
}
}
I've tried setting background by searchView.setBackgroundDrawable but I am not getting what I like to implement.

Please check below link because it explains everything about searchbar in actionbar:

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;
}
