onQueryTextSubmit never called

In my activity I have a searchView that is correctly displayed but the listeners are never called when a user submits a query. What have I done wrong ?
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.list_container);
SearchView searchView = (SearchView) findViewById(R.id.search_view);
searchView.setOnQueryTextListener(new SearchView.OnQueryTextListener() {
#Override
public boolean onQueryTextChange(String query) {
listPresenter.onSearch(query);
return true;
}
#Override
public boolean onQueryTextSubmit(String query) {
listPresenter.onSearch(query);
return true;
}
});
}

It seems that the problem was coming from the return true that should be a return false inside onQueryTextChange and onQueryTextSubmit

How to get a text from SearchView?

I need to get a text from SearchView and compare it to strings in my activity's ListView and show a Toast if the word in a SearchView is in my ListView. How do I do that? Here's my working code for the SearchView:
MenuItem ourSearchItem = menu.findItem(R.id.menu_item_search);
SearchView sv = (SearchView) ourSearchItem.getActionView();
sv.setOnQueryTextListener(new SearchView.OnQueryTextListener() {
#Override
public boolean onQueryTextSubmit(String query) {
return false;
}
#Override
public boolean onQueryTextChange(String newText) {
adapter.getFilter().filter(newText);
return false;
}
});

To get text of SearchView, use searchView.getQuery().

try this code :
MenuItem ourSearchItem = menu.findItem(R.id.menu_item_search);
SearchView sv = (SearchView) ourSearchItem.getActionView();
sv.setOnQueryTextListener(new SearchView.OnQueryTextListener() {
#Override
public boolean onQueryTextSubmit(String query) {
Toast.makeText(getContext(), query, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
return true;
}
#Override
public boolean onQueryTextChange(String newText) {
adapter.getFilter().filter(newText);
}
return false;
}
});

Searchview hide Toast message in android

I'm using a filtering SearchView. Everything works fine but, when you leave the keyboard to type and press a button, a kind of toast is shown. Anyone know how to remove it?
this is a my code:
searchView = (SearchView) view.findViewById(R.id.buscador_lineas_transporte);
searchView.setOnQueryTextListener(new OnQueryTextListener() {
#Override
public boolean onQueryTextSubmit(String query) {
return false;
}
#Override
public boolean onQueryTextChange(String newText) {
if(TextUtils.isEmpty(newText)){
lvLineasTransporte.clearTextFilter();
}
else{
lvLineasTransporte.setFilterText(newText);
}
return true;
}
});

How to let SearchView keep its last query content after reopen?

When using search view, I have a requirement from customer that they want to retain the search content after reopen the search view. My Search view is on a list view and do a real timing filtering based on what user input into the search box. When closed the search box by either click the back button on the phone or click the soft back button on the top left on action bar, the search box closed, search view iconfied. But when reopen it next time, the search query used last time is also been cleared, which I do not want.
My question is that is there a way I can keep the search view content there. Just hiding the search box, but not clear the content?
My related code are as follow:
MenuItem search;
SearchView searchView;
#Override
public void onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu, MenuInflater inflater) {
inflater.inflate(R.menu.menu_locationlist_fragment, menu);
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.HONEYCOMB) {
search = menu.findItem(R.id.action_search_location_list);
searchView = (SearchView) MenuItemCompat.getActionView(search);
SearchManager searchManager = (SearchManager) getActivity().getSystemService(Context.SEARCH_SERVICE);
searchView.setSearchableInfo(searchManager.getSearchableInfo(getActivity().getComponentName()));
searchView.setIconifiedByDefault(false);
searchView.setOnQueryTextListener(this);
searchView.setOnQueryTextFocusChangeListener(new View.OnFocusChangeListener() {
#Override
public void onFocusChange(View v, boolean hasFocus) {
//This will make sure, when user closed search view, the list will be restored.
if(!hasFocus) {
Log.i(Tags.LOCATIONLIST,"Search Close");
search.collapseActionView();
} else {
}
}
}
});
ImageView closeButton = (ImageView)searchView.findViewById(R.id.search_close_btn);
closeButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
EditText searchEditText = (EditText)searchView.findViewById(R.id.search_src_text);
searchEditText.setText("");
if (((LocationListAdapter)locationListView.getAdapter())!=null) {
((LocationListAdapter) locationListView.getAdapter()).getFilter().filter("");
}
}
});
}
}
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
switch (item.getItemId()) {
case R.id.action_search_location_list:
((BaseActivity) getActivity()).onSearchRequested();
return true;
case R.id.action_refresh_location_list:
refreshLocationList();
return true;
default:
return false;
}
}
#Override
public boolean onQueryTextSubmit(String s) {
return false;
}
#Override
public boolean onQueryTextChange(String s) {
if (((LocationListAdapter)locationListView.getAdapter())!=null) {
if (TextUtils.isEmpty(s)) {
locationListView.clearTextFilter();
} else {
((LocationListAdapter) locationListView.getAdapter()).getFilter().filter(s);
//locationListView.setFilterText(s.toString());
}
}
return true;
}

Use
SearchView searchView = (SearchView) menu.findItem(R.id.menu_search).getActionView();
searchView.setIconified(false);
Any query text is cleared when iconified. So setIconified to false. And i have used android.widget.SearchView

Save your String in a variable (e.g. myWantedString) and
override setOnClickListener that trigers everytime you open the SearchView and use setQuery. Your code should be:
searchView.setOnSearchClickListener(new View.OnClickListener()
{
#Override
public void onClick(View v)
{
searchView.setQuery(myWantedString, false);
}
});
To save your string each time the SearchView closes implement setOnCloseListener and override onClose():
searchView.setOnCloseListener(new SearchView.OnCloseListener()
{
#Override
public boolean onClose()
{
myWantedString = searchView.getQuery();
return false;
}
});

searchView.setQuery() works if was called with a delay after menu item expansion.
MenuItemCompat.setOnActionExpandListener(searchItem, new MenuItemCompat.OnActionExpandListener() {
#Override
public boolean onMenuItemActionExpand(MenuItem item) {
final SearchView searchView = (SearchView) MenuItemCompat.getActionView(item);
// set query text with a delay
searchView.post(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
searchView.setQuery(query, false);
}
});
return true;
}
#Override
public boolean onMenuItemActionCollapse(MenuItem item) {
return true;
}
});

You can create an Activity which can be called when the user searches and the search result can be stored in the Bundle during the callback method onPause or onSaveInstanceState , when the Activity is called once again restore it from the bundle.

MenuItem searchItem = menu.findItem(R.id.action_search);
SearchView searchView = (SearchView) searchItem.getActionView();
searchView.setIconified(false);
searchView.setOnSearchClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
searchView.setQuery("SEARCH_WORD", false);
}
});

Sets a listener to inform when the search button is pressed. This is only relevant when the text field is not visible by default. Calling setIconified(false) can also cause this listener to be informed.

Collapse searchview after submit

I am using searchview in my application ( without action bar). How can I collapse searchview after query text submit?
I have these listeners ;
#Override
public boolean onQueryTextSubmit(String query) {
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager)thisFr.getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(globalSearch.getWindowToken(), 0);
return false;
}
#Override
public boolean onQueryTextChange(String newText) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
return false;
}
I don't use ActionBar so I don't have a function like collapseActionView().

you need to call setIconified(true) twice to actually collapse your search view, with first call text is cleared with second call keyboard and search view get closed.

You can do it this way in your activity, tested with actionbarsherlock (it even hides the keyboard, make sure to return false in onQueryTextSubmit):
private MenuItem searchMenuItem;
public MenuItem getSearchMenuItem() {
return searchMenuItem;
}
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// ...
searchMenuItem = menu.findItem(R.id.menu_search);
// ...
searchView.setOnQueryTextListener(new OnQueryTextListener() {
#Override
public boolean onQueryTextSubmit(String query) {
MenuItem searchMenuItem = getSearchMenuItem();
if (searchMenuItem != null) {
searchMenuItem.collapseActionView();
}
return false;
}
#Override
public boolean onQueryTextChange(String newText) {
// ...
return true;
}
});
// ...
return super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
}

If you are using the SearchView in the OptionsMenu, you ca call invalidateOptionsMenu()

//close suggestion list on query text submit
searchView.setIconified(true);

final MenuItem searchterm = menu.findItem(R.id.search);
SearchView searchView = null;
searchView = (SearchView) searchterm.getActionView();
searchView.setOnQueryTextListener(new SearchView.OnQueryTextListener() {
#Override
public boolean onQueryTextSubmit(String query) {
searchterm.collapseActionView();
}});
