I have a SearchView up and ready, here is the code I use in the java file of the page that has the SearchView:
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater();
inflater.inflate(R.menu.options_menu, menu);
// Associate searchable configuration with the SearchView
SearchManager searchManager =
(SearchManager) getSystemService(Context.SEARCH_SERVICE);
SearchView searchView =
(SearchView) menu.findItem(R.id.search).getActionView();
searchView.setSearchableInfo(searchManager.getSearchableInfo(
new ComponentName(getApplicationContext(), SearchableActivity.class)));
return true;
}
My goal is now to let this SearchView search through a site full of TextViews. Every TextView contains one word. Is it possible to make the SearchView find the TextView that contains the word i just typed in? If so, how? If not, how can I make it happen in another way?
Kind regards,
Julian
The SearchView doesn't do any search at all, it's a simple widget for inputting the keywords, show recently used keywords, etc. You should implement your "search model" to find the content, and display it somewhere you want.
I guess what you are trying to do is search through text inside TextViews defined inside your layout.
I am assuming here that the text source is a String Array/ArrayList (TextViewData) in a file "Data.java.
You can give this a try:
1) Make the activity/fragment implement SearchView.OnQueryTextListener
2) Create an empty ArrayList to store search entry results.
private ArrayList<Data> mSearchItems
3) Add this line to the code where you initialize your SearchView
searchView.setOnQueryTextListener(this);
4) Override the following methods:
i) Method called on submit:
#Override
public boolean onQueryTextSubmit(String query) {
//Call a user defined mathod to handle the search.
handleSearch(query, Data.TextViewData)
}
ii) Method called on changing the text in the search box
#Override
public boolean onQueryTextChange(String query) {
handleSearch(query, Data.TextViewData)
}
5)
private void handleSearch(String Query, ArrayList<Data> queryList){
mSearchItems.clear();
for(Data data : queryList){
if(data.textviewone.toLowerCase().contains(Query.toLowerCase()) ||
data.textviewtwo.toLowerCase().contains(Query.toLowerCase()))
mSearchItems.add(data);
//You can then swap the recycler view (if being used) or hide other text views and display only the one being searched for (in case of a match)
}
}
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
SearchView searchView = (SearchView) MenuItemCompat.getActionView(menu.findItem(R.id.menu_search));
SearchManager searchManager = (SearchManager) getSystemService(Activity.SEARCH_SERVICE);
searchView.setSearchableInfo(searchManager.getSearchableInfo(getComponentName()));
// Setting up custom search button icon
int searchImgId = android.support.v7.appcompat.R.id.search_button; // I used the explicit layout ID of searchview's ImageView
ImageView v = (ImageView) searchView.findViewById(searchImgId);
v.setImageResource(R.drawable.ic_search_black);
searchView.setOnQueryTextListener(new SearchView.OnQueryTextListener() {
#Override
public boolean onQueryTextSubmit(String query) {
// Do operation
return true;
}
#Override
public boolean onQueryTextChange(String newText) {
return false;
}
});
return true;
}

I have added a searchView in my toolbar and I would like to show a dropdown as android does with the AutoCompleteTextView.
So basically I want to display a list of result and change it while the user is typing. I have added already a function to filter my results, but I have no clue how to show the dropdown in the list using my searchView.
Take a look the code below:
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.menu_subs, menu);
MenuItem searchItem = menu.findItem(R.id.action_search);
SearchView searchView = (SearchView) MenuItemCompat.getActionView(searchItem);
searchView.setOnQueryTextListener(new SearchView.OnQueryTextListener(){
#Override
public boolean onQueryTextSubmit(String query) {
return false;
}
#Override
public boolean onQueryTextChange(String newText) {
//TODO: Implement dropdown
_list = _repository.filterItems(newText);
return false;
}
});
return true;
}
NOTE: something like in the image, I want to show my results(list of strings) in the dropdown.
any idea?
Thanks!
you should add this code in your onCreateOptionsMenu
SearchAutoComplete autoCompleteTextView = (SearchAutoComplete) searchView.findViewById(R.id.search_src_text);
if (autoCompleteTextView != null) {
autoCompleteTextView.setDropDownBackgroundResource(R.drawable.abc_search_dropdown_light);
}

How to build Gmail like search box in the action bar?
I am implementing a searchview for my app. Here is how i set my searchview:
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater();
inflater.inflate(R.menu.options_menu, menu);
this.menu = menu;
// Associate searchable configuration with the SearchView
SearchManager searchManager =
(SearchManager) getSystemService(Context.SEARCH_SERVICE);
MenuItem searchItem = menu.findItem(R.id.search);
SearchView searchView = (SearchView) MenuItemCompat.getActionView(searchItem);
searchView.setSearchableInfo(searchManager.getSearchableInfo(getComponentName()));
searchView.setOnQueryTextListener(new SearchView.OnQueryTextListener() {
#Override
public boolean onQueryTextSubmit(String query) {
return false;
}
#Override
public boolean onQueryTextChange(String query) {
loadHistory(query);
return true;
}
});
return true;
}
I want to show search suggestions to user when user starts typing. I can do this using a listview:
private void loadHistory(String query) {
// query db etc...
SearchManager manager = (SearchManager) getSystemService(Context.SEARCH_SERVICE);
final SearchView search = (SearchView) menu.findItem(R.id.search).getActionView();
search.setSuggestionsAdapter(new ExampleAdapter(this, cursor, items));
}
But suppose I do not want to show search suggestions as a listview, and show them in a custom view, where I can add some more stuff to my layout other then just search suggestions. For example, I want to show the following custom view instead of suggested searches listview:
How can I do that? There is a function for setting suggestions adapter, setSuggestionsAdapter(adapter), but I could not find a function like setCustomSuggestionsView(view).
Thanks.
I think what you need is a recycler view for your results. Please see this answer for more information. A recycler view gives you all the freedom layout wise. To use more viewtypes see this post. Hope this helps. I am not familliar enough with your case from your description.
I added some code to oncreate options menu like this
SearchManager searchManager =
(SearchManager) getSystemService(Context.SEARCH_SERVICE);
SearchView searchView =
(SearchView) menu.findItem(R.id.search).getActionView();
searchView.setSearchableInfo(
searchManager.getSearchableInfo(getComponentName()));
Also I created a xml file in xml directory and I did what is said in this.But I don't know how to pass search query and get the result. Executing this getting action bar disappeared.
Furthermore if you want have some callback use the code below, on putting some query and fetch it.
searchView.setOnQueryTextListener(new SearchView.OnQueryTextListener() {
#Override
public boolean onQueryTextSubmit(String query) {
return false;
}
#Override
public boolean onQueryTextChange(String s) {
return false;
}
});

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 want a drop down to display under the search view when clicked containing a list of previous searches
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
getSupportMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.categories, menu);
// Get the SearchView and set the searchable configuration
SearchView searchView = (SearchView) menu.findItem(R.id.menu_search)
.getActionView();
searchView.setQueryHint("Search All Categories");
final AppListAdapter adapterAllApps = new AppListAdapter(
CategoryListActivity.this, R.layout.app_row, catList);
searchView.setOnQueryTextListener(new OnQueryTextListener() {
#Override
public boolean onQueryTextChange(String newText) {
....
You might want to use a
AutoCompleteTextView
to do this and then add a searchable content provider.
have a look at this :
Turn AutoCompleteTextView into a SearchView in ActionBar instead
