In my app I am using an android.support.v7.widget.SearchView (from support v7 library) to provide search from action bar.
I setup this view in MainActivity, with the following code:
MainActivity.java
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
this.menu = menu;
MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater();
inflater.inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
SearchManager searchManager = (SearchManager) getSystemService(Context.SEARCH_SERVICE);
SupportMenuItem searchMenuItem = (SupportMenuItem) menu.findItem(R.id.menu_search);
SearchView searchView = (SearchView) MenuItemCompat.getActionView(searchMenuItem);
searchView.setQueryRefinementEnabled(true);
searchView.setIconifiedByDefault(true);
searchView.setOnQueryTextListener(new SearchView.OnQueryTextListener() {
// OnQueryTextListener body
...
});
searchView.setSearchableInfo(searchManager.getSearchableInfo(getComponentName()));
return super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
}
Then in a Fragment i need to ensure that the SearchView is collapsed:
MyFragment.java
#Override
public void onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu, MenuInflater inflater) {
MenuItem searchMenuItem = menu.findItem(R.id.menu_search);
SearchView searchView = (SearchView) MenuItemCompat.getActionView(searchMenuItem);
searchView.clearFocus(); // Try to prevent SearchView to steal focus. No luck!
searchView.setIconified(true);
}
#Override
public void onResume() {
super.onResume();
setHasOptionsMenu(true);
// other stuff
}
The problem is that not only the SearchView does not collapse (I tried also with MenuItemCompat.collapseActionView(searchMenuItem) with no success: it returns always false), but also the SearchView "steals" focus at every fragment transaction (e.g. replace one fragment with another), so when the "new" fragment is displayed, the SearchView has focus, so it shows its suggestions.
I also noticed that if I do not call setHasOptionsMenu then the problem of "stealing focus" does not occur.
Is there something I am doing wrong?

I'd like to have small search icon in text hint like that:
but I get it like so:
I am using:
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.work, menu);
// Associate searchable configuration with the SearchView
SearchManager searchManager = (SearchManager) getSystemService(Context.SEARCH_SERVICE);
SearchView searchView = (SearchView) menu.findItem(R.id.action_search).getActionView();
searchView.setMaxWidth(Integer.MAX_VALUE);
searchView.setSearchableInfo(searchManager.getSearchableInfo(getComponentName()));
searchView.setIconifiedByDefault(false);
return true;
}
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 want to show Back button but distorted ToolBar is coming on left as in the following image.
#Override
public void onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu, MenuInflater inflater) {
inflater.inflate(R.menu.menu_main, menu);
MenuItem item = menu.findItem(R.id.action_search);
SearchView searchView = (SearchView) MenuItemCompat.getActionView(item);
TextView tv = (TextView) searchView.findViewById(android.support.v7.appcompat.R.id.search_src_text);
tv.setTextColor(getResources().getColor(android.R.color.white));
tv.setHintTextColor(getResources().getColor(android.R.color.white));
tv.setHint(getString(R.string.action_search));
ImageView imgCloseIcon = (ImageView) searchView.findViewById(android.support.v7.appcompat.R.id.search_close_btn);
imgCloseIcon.setImageResource(R.drawable.cross_btn);
searchView.setOnQueryTextListener(this);
}
How to show Back button and hide distorted ToolBar ??
I have used the below code and its working fine for me,
SearchView searchView = (SearchView) MenuItemCompat.getActionView(menu.findItem(R.id.action_search));
SearchManager searchManager = (SearchManager) getSystemService(SEARCH_SERVICE);
searchView.setSearchableInfo(searchManager
.getSearchableInfo(getComponentName()));
searchView.setOnQueryTextListener(queryTextListener);
In my application i am trying to add an searchView in actionbar. But while clicking on the search icon searchView is expanding to the entire actionbar while clicking the key down it is coming to normalView.
While clicking on the search icon. It is coming like this..
But I want a behavior like this..
options_menu.xml
<item
android:id="#+id/search"
myapp:actionViewClass="android.support.v7.widget.SearchView"
myapp:showAsAction="ifRoom|collapseActionView"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_action_search"
android:title="#string/search_title"/>
onCreateOptions() method
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.options_menu, menu);
SearchManager searchManager = (SearchManager) getSystemService(Context.SEARCH_SERVICE);
MenuItem searchItem = menu.findItem(R.id.search);
mSearchView = (SearchView) MenuItemCompat.getActionView(searchItem);
mSearchView.setSearchableInfo(searchManager
.getSearchableInfo(getComponentName()));
mSearchView.setBaselineAligned(false);
return super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
}
please help me..Thanks in advance...
Add this line in your onCreateOptionsMenu()
searchView.setIconifiedByDefault(false);
Any particular reason to write the property twice in menu.xml ?
I just commented the code like this...Now it is working properly...
case R.id.search:
//onSearchRequested();
return true;
I am trying to use SearchViewCompat with ActionBarSherlock in an API 8 app.
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
MenuItem item = menu.add("Search")
.setIcon(isLight ? R.drawable.ic_search_inverse : R.drawable.ic_search)
.setActionView(R.layout.collapsible_edittext);
item.setShowAsAction(
MenuItem.SHOW_AS_ACTION_ALWAYS |
MenuItem.SHOW_AS_ACTION_COLLAPSE_ACTION_VIEW);
// To use SearchViewCompat, I need to add it to the Menu item as well:
View searchView = SearchViewCompat.newSearchView(this);
// ...
SearchViewCompat.setOnQueryTextListener(...);
// ...
item.setActionView(searchView);
Please note that both the top and bottom code needs to call setActionView(). Does that mean it is not possible to do search?
If you are using the ActionBarSherlock Library ver 4.2, you can replace the API 11 SearchView Widget with a ActionBarSherlock SearchView Widget to make it backward compatible:
search.xml
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:id="#+id/menu_search"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_action_search"
android:title="#string/description_search"
android:orderInCategory="0"
android:actionViewClass="com.actionbarsherlock.widget.SearchView"
android:showAsAction="ifRoom|collapseActionView" />
</menu>
Activity class
//IMPORTANT!!!
import com.actionbarsherlock.widget.SearchView;
...
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
getSupportMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.search, menu);
setupSearchMenuItem(menu);
return true;
}
private void setupSearchMenuItem(Menu menu) {
MenuItem searchItem = menu.findItem(R.id.menu_search);
if (searchItem != null) {
SearchView searchView = (SearchView) searchItem.getActionView();
if (searchView != null) {
SearchManager searchManager =
(SearchManager) getSystemService(SEARCH_SERVICE);
searchView.setSearchableInfo(
searchManager.getSearchableInfo(getComponentName()));
}
}
}
}
What is the actual problem? SearchViewCompat will return null for pre-HC devices since the SearchView widget does not exist. This means you will have to provide your own custom action view that imitates the HC SearchView.
You can also backport the SearchView component from the Android sources and use that.
Otherwise, you can just use the existing search interfaces Android has, in which case for HC+ devices you use the action view to perform a search but on Froyo and Gingerbread devices the user clicks on the search icon and a search bar animates from the top.
Hope this helps.
At some point in your Activity:
public class HomeActivity extends SherlockFragmentActivity implements
SearchView.OnQueryTextListener {
// ...
SearchView searchView = (com.actionbarsherlock.widget.SearchView)
actionBarCustom.findViewById(R.id.search);
SearchManager sm = (SearchManager)getSystemService(SEARCH_SERVICE);
searchView.setSearchableInfo(sm.getSearchableInfo(getComponentName()));
searchView.setSubmitButtonEnabled(true);
searchView.setOnQueryTextListener(this);
And then filter your list adapter:
#Override
public boolean onQueryTextSubmit(String query) {
return true;
}
#Override
public boolean onQueryTextChange(String newText) {
mAdapter.getFilter().filter(newText.trim());
return false;
}
This way, your list adapter must implement filterable.
Better to use MenuItemCompat,I think this is helpful for you
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
MenuItem searchItem = menu.findItem(R.id.search);
SearchManager searchManager =(SearchManager)getSystemService(Context.SEARCH_SERVICE);
SearchView searchView = (SearchView)MenuItemCompat.getActionView(searchItem);
SearchableInfo info = searchManager.getSearchableInfo(getComponentName());
searchView.setSearchableInfo(info);
