I want to add a button to my navigation drawer menu, like so:
desired result:
I tried achieving this using the actionLayout parameter, but I seem to only be able to use some space on the right, not the entire width:
current result:
The title seems to be occupying the space on the left.
But I want to add a button with full width like in the first picture.
My current code:
...
<item
android:id="#+id/nav_login"
android:title=""
app:actionLayout="#layout/button_login"
app:showAsAction="ifRoom"/>
...
button_login.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Button xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:background="#0000ff"
android:text="Login"
android:textColor="#ffffff"
android:layout_height="match_parent" />
Action view in drawers intended to show this "small" addition view on the right of the menu item, so it'll be restricted in size.
You can add desired button as some sort of footer like following:
<android.support.design.widget.NavigationView
android:id="#+id/drawer"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="start"
app:menu="#menu/drawer">
<Button
android:id="#+id/footer_item_1"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="bottom"
android:text="Footer Button 1" />
</android.support.design.widget.NavigationView>
Note that you can put everything you want as a child, if you want some more views - just add LinearLayout there and put all additional views as children of it.
My solution is now using the MaterialDrawer Library.
I just did a quick test and it solves the problem:
Code:
...
Drawer drawer = new DrawerBuilder()
.withActivity(this)
.withToolbar(findViewById(R.id.toolbar))
.addDrawerItems(
new PrimaryDrawerItem().withName("Entry 1"),
new PrimaryDrawerItem().withName("Entry 2"),
new AbstractDrawerItem() {
#Override
public RecyclerView.ViewHolder getViewHolder(View v) {
return new RecyclerView.ViewHolder(v) {
};
}
#Override
public int getType() {
return 0;
}
#Override
public int getLayoutRes() {
return R.layout.button_a;
}
#Override
public Object withSubItems(List subItems) {
return null;
}
#Override
public Object withParent(IItem parent) {
return null;
}
},
new PrimaryDrawerItem().withName("Entry 3")
)
.build();
...
button_a.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Button xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_marginStart="8dp"
android:layout_marginEnd="8dp"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:text="Login"
android:layout_height="50dp"/>
I've been trying to load an image into a menu item which has been created through a custom layout and have been checking on the official documentation and on posts such as these Custom view for Menu Item but..
That's my onCreateOptionsMenu ond OnPrepareOptionsMenu
#Override
public boolean onPrepareOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
final MenuItem alertMenuItem = menu.findItem(R.id.action_my_personal);
FrameLayout rootView = (FrameLayout) alertMenuItem.getActionView();
redCircle = (FrameLayout) rootView.findViewById(R.id.view_alert_red_circle);
countTextView = (TextView) rootView.findViewById(R.id.view_alert_count_textview);
ImageView hc_image_menu_inflated = (ImageView) rootView.findViewById(R.id.hc_image_menu);
rootView.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
onOptionsItemSelected(alertMenuItem);
}
});
if (menu.findItem(R.id.hc_image_menu) != null) {
loadMenuIcon(menu.findItem(R.id.hc_image_menu), my_image_url);
}
return super.onPrepareOptionsMenu(menu);
}
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.toolbar_menu_main, menu);
return true;
}
As you can see I have added these lines to avoid the app crashing, as menu.finditem(R.id.hc_image_menu) is returning as null and that's where the problem is, as I want to populate the ImageView that has the id hc_image_menu but am not being successful despite so many attempts
if (menu.findItem(R.id.hc_image_menu) != null) {
loadMenuIcon(menu.findItem(R.id.hc_image_menu), my_image_url);
}
My code for my toolbar_main_menu layout is this:
<item
android:id="#+id/action_my_personal"
app:actionLayout="#layout/toolbar_menu_hc"
android:orderInCategory="100"
android:title="My Personal Trainer"
app:showAsAction="always" />
And for my custom layout (toolbar_hc_menu) is this one:
<FrameLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="48dp"
android:layout_height="32dp"
android:layout_gravity="center">
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/hc_image_menu"
android:layout_marginRight="8dp"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:src="#drawable/gavin"/>
<FrameLayout
android:id="#+id/view_alert_red_circle"
android:layout_width="14dp"
android:layout_height="14dp"
android:layout_gravity="top|end"
android:background="#drawable/date_circle"
android:visibility="gone"
tools:visibility="visible">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/view_alert_count_textview"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:textColor="#color/white"
android:textSize="10sp"
tools:text="3"/>
</FrameLayout>
Thanks very much for any help on that. Really much appreciated!! :)
Issue fixed. :)
At the end I just had to load the image into the ImageView after having got the alertMenuItem.
if (my_image_url!= null) {
Picasso.with(getApplicationContext()).load(my_image_url).into(hc_image_menu_inflated);
}
I am using the new Android BottomNavigationView but the bottom navigation MenuItem action view is not showing.
After debugging I found that the menu item is not null and the visibility is visible.
After checking height and width of the root view it's coming 0 even after hardcoding the values in layout layout_width=50dp and layout_height=50dp of the root element.
Here is my bottom navigation menu:
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto">
<item
android:id="#+id/nearby_fragment"
android:enabled="true"
android:icon="#drawable/homenearbyfragment"
android:title="#string/bottom_nearby"
app:showAsAction="always"/>
<item
android:id="#+id/route_fragment"
android:title="#string/bottom_homescreen"
android:enabled="true"
app:showAsAction="always"
android:icon="#drawable/home_mycommute" />
<item
android:id="#+id/newsfeed_activity"
android:title="#string/bottom_news"
android:enabled="true"
app:showAsAction="always"
android:icon="#drawable/newsfeed"
app:actionLayout="#layout/bagde_layout"/>
</menu>
My action layout:
<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
style="?android:attr/actionButtonStyle"
android:layout_width="50dp"
android:layout_height="50dp"
android:clickable="true"
android:focusable="true"
android:gravity="center">
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/menu_badge_icon"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:src="#drawable/newsfeed" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/menu_badge"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="top|end"
android:layout_marginTop="4dp"
android:background="#drawable/circle_bg"
android:gravity="center"
android:textColor="#android:color/white"
android:textSize="8sp"
/>
In my Activity I am trying to set:
private void setCountOnNews(Menu menu) {
mReportMenu = menu.findItem(R.id.newsfeed_activity);
FrameLayout count = (FrameLayout) mReportMenu.getActionView();
count.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
Intent intent = new Intent(MainActivity.this, NewsFeedActivity.class);
startActivity(intent);
MainApplication.getInstance().trackScreenView(getString(R.string.tracknewsfeedmenu));
}
});
TextView notifCount = (TextView) count.findViewById(R.id.menu_badge);
//if (Utils.getNewsfeedCountPreference(MainActivity.this) > 0)
notifCount.setText(String.valueOf(Utils.getNewsfeedCountPreference(MainActivity.this)));
notifCount.setText("asd;jfnapsdifnaspdifnasdpifnaspdfnapsdifnaspidfnapsidfnaspdiufif");
Log.d(TAG, "setCountOnNews:" + notifCount.getText().toString());
//else
// notifCount.setVisibility(View.GONE);
}
Did you forget to add that in your MainActivity?
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
return true;
}
if you are using fragment than you need to set has option menu true.
setHasOptionsMenu(true);
I have been looking for ways to implement a searchview in the activity toolbar (actionbar) as per the material design guidelines.
On clicking on the search icon, the entire toolbar animates to have only the search EditText with white background with suggestions appearing in the main view instead of a drop down.
Here is a screenshot from the guidelines:
Here is a gif from the Gmail Inbox implementation:
I have been looking for code examples and tutorials but so far I have been unsuccesful. How do I go about doing this?
I tried several material SearchView libraries, but none of them worked good as the one from the support library, so I decided to redesign it, after a lot of work, I am pleased with the result:
Here is how you can do it:
1) Add SearchView item to your menu
<item
android:id="#+id/m_search"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_action_search"
android:title="#string/search_title"
app:actionLayout="#layout/search_view_layout"
app:showAsAction="ifRoom|collapseActionView" />
Notice that I'm declaring actionLayout instead of actionViewClass, I figured that this is the only way to set SearchView theme separately from Toolbar theme.
search_view_layout.xml:
<android.support.v7.widget.SearchView
android:id="#+id/search_view"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:theme="#style/SearchViewTheme" />
2) Add the custom SearchView theme to your styles, declare SearchView theme in your Toolbar theme as well:
<style name="SearchViewTheme" parent="Widget.AppCompat.SearchView.ActionBar">
<item name="layout">#layout/toolbar_search_view</item>
<item name="commitIcon">#drawable/ic_search_commit</item>
<item name="colorControlNormal">#color/material_light_active_icon</item>
<item name="colorControlHighlight">#color/material_ripple_light</item>
<item name="autoCompleteTextViewStyle">#style/AutoCompleteTextViewStyle</item>
<item name="suggestionRowLayout">#layout/search_view_suggestion_row</item>
<item name="android:maxWidth">9999dp</item>
</style>
<style name="AutoCompleteTextViewStyle" parent="Widget.AppCompat.Light.AutoCompleteTextView">
<item name="android:popupBackground">#drawable/search_suggestions_bg</item>
<item name="android:popupElevation">0dp</item>
</style>
<style name="ToolbarTheme" parent="ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar">
<item name="searchViewStyle">#style/SearchViewTheme</item>
</style>

3) Last part, make the magic happen in code:
Setup and initialize SearchView in your desired activity
private MenuItem mSearchItem;
private Toolbar mToolbar;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
...
mToolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
setSupportActionBar(mToolbar);
}
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
mSearchItem = menu.findItem(R.id.m_search);
MenuItemCompat.setOnActionExpandListener(mSearchItem, new MenuItemCompat.OnActionExpandListener() {
#Override
public boolean onMenuItemActionCollapse(MenuItem item) {
// Called when SearchView is collapsing
if (mSearchItem.isActionViewExpanded()) {
animateSearchToolbar(1, false, false);
}
return true;
}
#Override
public boolean onMenuItemActionExpand(MenuItem item) {
// Called when SearchView is expanding
animateSearchToolbar(1, true, true);
return true;
}
});
return true;
}
public void animateSearchToolbar(int numberOfMenuIcon, boolean containsOverflow, boolean show) {
mToolbar.setBackgroundColor(ContextCompat.getColor(this, android.R.color.white));
mDrawerLayout.setStatusBarBackgroundColor(ContextCompat.getColor(this, R.color.quantum_grey_600));
if (show) {
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP) {
int width = mToolbar.getWidth() -
(containsOverflow ? getResources().getDimensionPixelSize(R.dimen.abc_action_button_min_width_overflow_material) : 0) -
((getResources().getDimensionPixelSize(R.dimen.abc_action_button_min_width_material) * numberOfMenuIcon) / 2);
Animator createCircularReveal = ViewAnimationUtils.createCircularReveal(mToolbar,
isRtl(getResources()) ? mToolbar.getWidth() - width : width, mToolbar.getHeight() / 2, 0.0f, (float) width);
createCircularReveal.setDuration(250);
createCircularReveal.start();
} else {
TranslateAnimation translateAnimation = new TranslateAnimation(0.0f, 0.0f, (float) (-mToolbar.getHeight()), 0.0f);
translateAnimation.setDuration(220);
mToolbar.clearAnimation();
mToolbar.startAnimation(translateAnimation);
}
} else {
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP) {
int width = mToolbar.getWidth() -
(containsOverflow ? getResources().getDimensionPixelSize(R.dimen.abc_action_button_min_width_overflow_material) : 0) -
((getResources().getDimensionPixelSize(R.dimen.abc_action_button_min_width_material) * numberOfMenuIcon) / 2);
Animator createCircularReveal = ViewAnimationUtils.createCircularReveal(mToolbar,
isRtl(getResources()) ? mToolbar.getWidth() - width : width, mToolbar.getHeight() / 2, (float) width, 0.0f);
createCircularReveal.setDuration(250);
createCircularReveal.addListener(new AnimatorListenerAdapter() {
#Override
public void onAnimationEnd(Animator animation) {
super.onAnimationEnd(animation);
mToolbar.setBackgroundColor(getThemeColor(MainActivity.this, R.attr.colorPrimary));
mDrawerLayout.setStatusBarBackgroundColor(getThemeColor(MainActivity.this, R.attr.colorPrimaryDark));
}
});
createCircularReveal.start();
} else {
AlphaAnimation alphaAnimation = new AlphaAnimation(1.0f, 0.0f);
Animation translateAnimation = new TranslateAnimation(0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, (float) (-mToolbar.getHeight()));
AnimationSet animationSet = new AnimationSet(true);
animationSet.addAnimation(alphaAnimation);
animationSet.addAnimation(translateAnimation);
animationSet.setDuration(220);
animationSet.setAnimationListener(new Animation.AnimationListener() {
#Override
public void onAnimationStart(Animation animation) {
}
#Override
public void onAnimationEnd(Animation animation) {
mToolbar.setBackgroundColor(getThemeColor(MainActivity.this, R.attr.colorPrimary));
}
#Override
public void onAnimationRepeat(Animation animation) {
}
});
mToolbar.startAnimation(animationSet);
}
mDrawerLayout.setStatusBarBackgroundColor(getThemeColor(MainActivity.this, R.attr.colorPrimaryDark));
}
}
private boolean isRtl(Resources resources) {
return resources.getConfiguration().getLayoutDirection() == View.LAYOUT_DIRECTION_RTL;
}
private static int getThemeColor(Context context, int id) {
Resources.Theme theme = context.getTheme();
TypedArray a = theme.obtainStyledAttributes(new int[]{id});
int result = a.getColor(0, 0);
a.recycle();
return result;
}
Few things to notice about the code:
1) The animation will adjust it's start point based on your set of number of menu items and if the toolbar has overflow icon, it will detect if layout is LTR or RTL automatically.
2) I'm using navigation drawer activity, so I set StatusBar color to mDrawerLayout, if you are using regular activity, you can set StatusBar color this way:
getWindow().setStatusBarColor(ContextCompat.getColor(this, R.color.quantum_grey_600));
3) The circular reveal animation will only work on KitKat and above.
It is actually quite easy to do this, if you are using android.support.v7 library.
Step - 1
Declare a menu item
<item android:id="#+id/action_search"
android:title="Search"
android:icon="#drawable/abc_ic_search_api_mtrl_alpha"
app:showAsAction="ifRoom|collapseActionView"
app:actionViewClass="android.support.v7.widget.SearchView" />
Step - 2
Extend AppCompatActivity and in the onCreateOptionsMenu setup the SearchView.
import android.support.v7.widget.SearchView;
public class YourActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
...
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.menu_home, menu);
// Retrieve the SearchView and plug it into SearchManager
final SearchView searchView = (SearchView) MenuItemCompat.getActionView(menu.findItem(R.id.action_search));
SearchManager searchManager = (SearchManager) getSystemService(SEARCH_SERVICE);

The idea is very simple - you have to write your own AutoCompleteTextView using EditText, TextWatcher and RecyclerView with Filterable adapter.
EditText gives you a text field with ability to input characters
TextWatcher allows you to watch for text changes
RecyclerView can be placed anywhere, so you can show the search results just like on your screenshot
Filterable adapter helps to present data filtered with the entered text
So:
make a layout with EditText on the top, with RecyclerView filling the remaining space. Add the icon, shadow, etc.
add a TextWatcher and update the adapter on each text change
If you'd like to see my solution in action, check out my project on github:
https://github.com/ZieIony/Carbon
The Auto complete demo can be sound in the sample app in 'Demos' section.
Taking a hint from #Zielony's answer I did the following:
1) Instead if using an ActionBar or ToolBar I built my own layout (basically a RelativeLayout with burger menu, search and other menu buttons and a EditText for search)
2) Used a theme without an ActionBar, placed my custom layout at the top of the activity so that it appeared like an ActionBar.
3) In the search button's OnClickListener I do 2 things:
Hide the menu buttons and show the 'search' EditText.
Add a fragment to display search suggestions and search
Show the soft keyboard input
3) Added OnClickListeners for the other menu buttons.
4) Added a TextWatcher on the 'search' EditText to display search hints and results from the server.
This is how it appears now:
I think I've figured it out.
I'm now using just an EditText inside of the Toolbar.
I now have this:
First inside onCreate() of my activity I added the EditText with an image view on the right hand side to the Toolbar like this:
// Setup search container view
searchContainer = new LinearLayout(this);
Toolbar.LayoutParams containerParams = new Toolbar.LayoutParams(ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT);
containerParams.gravity = Gravity.CENTER_VERTICAL;
searchContainer.setLayoutParams(containerParams);
// Setup search view
toolbarSearchView = new EditText(this);
// Set width / height / gravity
int[] textSizeAttr = new int[]{android.R.attr.actionBarSize};
int indexOfAttrTextSize = 0;
TypedArray a = obtainStyledAttributes(new TypedValue().data, textSizeAttr);
int actionBarHeight = a.getDimensionPixelSize(indexOfAttrTextSize, -1);
a.recycle();
LinearLayout.LayoutParams params = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(0, actionBarHeight);
params.gravity = Gravity.CENTER_VERTICAL;
params.weight = 1;
toolbarSearchView.setLayoutParams(params);
// Setup display
toolbarSearchView.setBackgroundColor(Color.TRANSPARENT);
toolbarSearchView.setPadding(2, 0, 0, 0);
toolbarSearchView.setTextColor(Color.WHITE);
toolbarSearchView.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER_VERTICAL);
toolbarSearchView.setSingleLine(true);
toolbarSearchView.setImeActionLabel("Search", EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_UNSPECIFIED);
toolbarSearchView.setHint("Search");
toolbarSearchView.setHintTextColor(Color.parseColor("#b3ffffff"));
try {
// Set cursor colour to white
// http://stackoverflow.com/a/26544231/1692770
// https://github.com/android/platform_frameworks_base/blob/kitkat-release/core/java/android/widget/TextView.java#L562-564
Field f = TextView.class.getDeclaredField("mCursorDrawableRes");
f.setAccessible(true);
f.set(toolbarSearchView, R.drawable.edittext_whitecursor);
} catch (Exception ignored) {
}
// Search text changed listener
toolbarSearchView.addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher() {
#Override
public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int count, int after) {
}
#Override
public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int before, int count) {
Fragment mainFragment = getFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.container);
if (mainFragment != null && mainFragment instanceof MainListFragment) {
((MainListFragment) mainFragment).search(s.toString());
}
}
#Override
public void afterTextChanged(Editable s) {
// http://stackoverflow.com/a/6438918/1692770
if (s.toString().length() <= 0) {
toolbarSearchView.setHintTextColor(Color.parseColor("#b3ffffff"));
}
}
});
((LinearLayout) searchContainer).addView(toolbarSearchView);
// Setup the clear button
searchClearButton = new ImageView(this);
Resources r = getResources();
int px = (int) TypedValue.applyDimension(TypedValue.COMPLEX_UNIT_DIP, 16, r.getDisplayMetrics());
LinearLayout.LayoutParams clearParams = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
clearParams.gravity = Gravity.CENTER;
searchClearButton.setLayoutParams(clearParams);
searchClearButton.setImageResource(R.drawable.ic_close_white_24dp); // TODO: Get this image from here: https://github.com/google/material-design-icons
searchClearButton.setPadding(px, 0, px, 0);
searchClearButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
toolbarSearchView.setText("");
}
});
((LinearLayout) searchContainer).addView(searchClearButton);
// Add search view to toolbar and hide it
searchContainer.setVisibility(View.GONE);
toolbar.addView(searchContainer);
This worked, but then I came across an issue where onOptionsItemSelected() wasn't being called when I tapped on the home button. So I wasn't able to cancel the search by pressing the home button. I tried a few different ways of registering the click listener on the home button but they didn't work.
Eventually I found out that the ActionBarDrawerToggle I had was interfering with things, so I removed it. This listener then started working:
toolbar.setNavigationOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
// toolbarHomeButtonAnimating is a boolean that is initialized as false. It's used to stop the user pressing the home button while it is animating and breaking things.
if (!toolbarHomeButtonAnimating) {
// Here you'll want to check if you have a search query set, if you don't then hide the search box.
// My main fragment handles this stuff, so I call its methods.
FragmentManager fragmentManager = getFragmentManager();
final Fragment fragment = fragmentManager.findFragmentById(R.id.container);
if (fragment != null && fragment instanceof MainListFragment) {
if (((MainListFragment) fragment).hasSearchQuery() || searchContainer.getVisibility() == View.VISIBLE) {
displaySearchView(false);
return;
}
}
}
if (mDrawerLayout.isDrawerOpen(findViewById(R.id.navigation_drawer)))
mDrawerLayout.closeDrawer(findViewById(R.id.navigation_drawer));
else
mDrawerLayout.openDrawer(findViewById(R.id.navigation_drawer));
}
});
So I can now cancel the search with the home button, but I can't press the back button to cancel it yet. So I added this to onBackPressed():
FragmentManager fragmentManager = getFragmentManager();
final Fragment mainFragment = fragmentManager.findFragmentById(R.id.container);
if (mainFragment != null && mainFragment instanceof MainListFragment) {
if (((MainListFragment) mainFragment).hasSearchQuery() || searchContainer.getVisibility() == View.VISIBLE) {
displaySearchView(false);
return;
}
}
I created this method to toggle visibility of the EditText and menu item:
public void displaySearchView(boolean visible) {
if (visible) {
// Stops user from being able to open drawer while searching
mDrawerLayout.setDrawerLockMode(DrawerLayout.LOCK_MODE_LOCKED_CLOSED);
// Hide search button, display EditText
menu.findItem(R.id.action_search).setVisible(false);
searchContainer.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
// Animate the home icon to the back arrow
toggleActionBarIcon(ActionDrawableState.ARROW, mDrawerToggle, true);
// Shift focus to the search EditText
toolbarSearchView.requestFocus();
// Pop up the soft keyboard
new Handler().postDelayed(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
toolbarSearchView.dispatchTouchEvent(MotionEvent.obtain(SystemClock.uptimeMillis(), SystemClock.uptimeMillis(), MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN, 0, 0, 0));
toolbarSearchView.dispatchTouchEvent(MotionEvent.obtain(SystemClock.uptimeMillis(), SystemClock.uptimeMillis(), MotionEvent.ACTION_UP, 0, 0, 0));
}
}, 200);
} else {
// Allows user to open drawer again
mDrawerLayout.setDrawerLockMode(DrawerLayout.LOCK_MODE_UNLOCKED);
// Hide the EditText and put the search button back on the Toolbar.
// This sometimes fails when it isn't postDelayed(), don't know why.
toolbarSearchView.postDelayed(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
toolbarSearchView.setText("");
searchContainer.setVisibility(View.GONE);
menu.findItem(R.id.action_search).setVisible(true);
}
}, 200);
// Turn the home button back into a drawer icon
toggleActionBarIcon(ActionDrawableState.BURGER, mDrawerToggle, true);
// Hide the keyboard because the search box has been hidden
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(toolbarSearchView.getWindowToken(), 0);
}
}
I needed a way to toggle the home button on the toolbar between the drawer icon and the back button. I eventually found the method below in this SO answer. Though I modified it slightly to made more sense to me:
private enum ActionDrawableState
{
BURGER, ARROW
}
private void toggleActionBarIcon(final ActionDrawableState state, final ActionBarDrawerToggle toggle, boolean animate) {
if (animate) {
float start = state == ActionDrawableState.BURGER ? 1.0f : 0f;
float end = Math.abs(start - 1);
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.HONEYCOMB) {
ValueAnimator offsetAnimator = ValueAnimator.ofFloat(start, end);
offsetAnimator.setDuration(300);
offsetAnimator.setInterpolator(new AccelerateDecelerateInterpolator());
offsetAnimator.addUpdateListener(new ValueAnimator.AnimatorUpdateListener() {
#Override
public void onAnimationUpdate(ValueAnimator animation) {
float offset = (Float) animation.getAnimatedValue();
toggle.onDrawerSlide(null, offset);
}
});
offsetAnimator.addListener(new Animator.AnimatorListener() {
#Override
public void onAnimationStart(Animator animation) {
}
#Override
public void onAnimationEnd(Animator animation) {
toolbarHomeButtonAnimating = false;
}
#Override
public void onAnimationCancel(Animator animation) {
}
#Override
public void onAnimationRepeat(Animator animation) {
}
});
toolbarHomeButtonAnimating = true;
offsetAnimator.start();
}
} else {
if (state == ActionDrawableState.BURGER) {
toggle.onDrawerClosed(null);
} else {
toggle.onDrawerOpened(null);
}
}
}
This works, I've managed to work out a few bugs that I found along the way. I don't think it's 100% but it works well enough for me.
EDIT: If you want to add the search view in XML instead of Java do this:

Here is how I tried to implement it, please check this out.

You can use AutoCompleteTextView to achieve this, Follow the link below
How to build Gmail like search box in the action bar?
In my action bar, I have defined a menu item that can show text "DONE" by the code below:
Menu.xml:
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
<item android:id="#+id/action_register_text"
android:actionLayout="#layout/action_done_text"
android:title="#string/action_done"
android:showAsAction="always"/>
</menu>
action_done_text.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/expand_activities_button"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:clickable="true"
android:focusable="true"
android:addStatesFromChildren="true">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/register_action_bar_done"
android:layout_width="53dp"
android:layout_height="35dp"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:layout_marginRight="10dip"
android:gravity="center"
android:text="DONE" />
</FrameLayout>
I have onCreateOptionsMenu implement properly in the code, and the view can show the text correctly, but just when I tap on the DONE text, onOptionsItemSelected is not called. To me, it seems like the click event is not recognized.
I was wondering if the above way is not a good way to add a text menu item?
Use this as shown in onOptionsItemSelected not called when using actionLayout (SherlockActionBar)
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
getSupportMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.map_menu, menu);
for (int i = 0; i < menu.size(); i++) {
MenuItem item = menu.getItem(i);
if (item.getItemId() == R.id.menu_more) {
itemChooser = item.getActionView();
if (itemChooser != null) {
itemChooser.setOnClickListener(this);
}
}
}
return super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
}
