Remove searchView icon

Remove searchView icon - android

In my app, I'm using a SearchView in the actionbar that it's always expanded like this:
My main.xml is this:
<item
android:id="#+id/menu_search"
android:actionViewClass="android.widget.SearchView"
android:showAsAction="always"
android:title="Search" />
MainActivity.java:
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
MenuItem searchViewItem = menu.findItem(R.id.menu_search);
SearchView searchView = (SearchView) searchViewItem.getActionView();
searchView.setIconifiedByDefault(false);
return true;
}
I would like to remove the search icon and expand the editText.
Regards

Getting SearchView from MenuItem returns View and not SearchView

I'm trying to fetch my SearchView from the Toolbar within a Fragment.
Im infalting a menu item in the onCreateOptionsMenu.
Problem : searchItem.getActionView() returns a "View" and not a "SearchView". See code below
#Override
public void onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu, MenuInflater inflater){
inflater.inflate(R.menu.menu_search, menu);
final MenuItem searchItem = menu.findItem(R.id.search);
SearchView searchView = searchItem.getActionView(); // This one is red - "returns View, should return Searchview"
}
XML for menu item (menu_search.xml):
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto">
<item android:title="#string/search"
android:id="#+id/search"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_search"
app:showAsAction="ifRoom|collapseActionView"
app:actionViewClass="android.support.v7.widget.SearchView" />
</menu>

Try this :
MenuItem search = menu.findItem(R.id.search);
SearchView searchView = (SearchView) search.getActionView();

Action bar only shows one item next to search view

I want to have a search view and two buttons in the Action Bar. So I created menu/options_menu.xml:
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:id="#+id/action_search"
android:title="Search"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_menu_search"
android:showAsAction="always"
android:actionViewClass="android.widget.SearchView" />
<item
android:title="Route"
android:id="#+id/action_route"
android:icon="#drawable/route"
android:showAsAction="always" />
<item
android:title="Cancel"
android:id="#+id/action_cancel"
android:icon="#drawable/cancel"
android:showAsAction="always" />
</menu>
I am inflating it in code:
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater();
inflater.inflate(R.menu.options_menu, menu);
SearchManager searchManager = (SearchManager) getSystemService(Context.SEARCH_SERVICE);
SearchView searchView = (SearchView) menu.findItem(R.id.action_search).getActionView();
searchView.setSearchableInfo(searchManager.getSearchableInfo(getComponentName()));
searchView.setIconifiedByDefault(false);
return true;
}
This is what I get:
As you can see, only the first item ("route") is shown.
I can make second item ("cancel") visible if I let iconify the search widget:
//searchView.setIconifiedByDefault(false);
However, I want to have search widget expanded and both items visible. Is it possible?
Update
I managed to make them visible by setting android:orderInCategory="1" for "Route" and "Cancel" and android:orderInCategory="2" for the search widget:
This is almost what I wanted. The issue is that I want search widget to go first (leftmost), and then these two items. Is it possible?
Update 2
I tried "recommended" way. I set for SearchView:
android:showAsAction="always|collapseActionView"
After I click on search icon, I get expanded view:
Two problems:
(Minor) Navigation UI occupies a room on the left thus reducing space available for SearchView.
(Major) Android icon appears as a part of navigation UI. Can I get rid of it?

Created one demo, check it :
menu.xml :
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto">
<item android:id="#+id/action_search"
android:title="Search"
android:icon="#android:drawable/ic_search_category_default"
app:actionLayout="#layout/searchview"
app:showAsAction="always|collapseActionView"/>
<item
android:title="Route"
android:id="#+id/action_route"
android:icon="#mipmap/ic_launcher"
app:showAsAction="always" />
<item
android:title="Cancel"
android:id="#+id/action_cancel"
android:icon="#mipmap/ic_launcher"
app:showAsAction="always" />
</menu>
searchview.xml :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<SearchView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
Java :
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater();
inflater.inflate(R.menu.menu, menu);
SearchManager searchManager = (SearchManager) getSystemService(Context.SEARCH_SERVICE);
MenuItem searchItem = menu.findItem(R.id.action_search);
SearchView searchView = (SearchView) menu.findItem(R.id.action_search).getActionView();
if(searchItem!=null) {
searchView.setSearchableInfo(searchManager.getSearchableInfo(getComponentName()));
searchView.setIconifiedByDefault(false);
}
return true;
}
Edited Java Based on Requirement (Always open searchview) :
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater();
inflater.inflate(R.menu.menu, menu);
SearchManager searchManager = (SearchManager) getSystemService(Context.SEARCH_SERVICE);
MenuItem searchItem = menu.findItem(R.id.action_search);
searchItem.expandActionView();
final SearchView searchView = (SearchView) menu.findItem(R.id.action_search).getActionView();
if(searchItem!=null) {
searchView.setSearchableInfo(searchManager.getSearchableInfo(getComponentName()));
searchView.setIconifiedByDefault(false);
// This listener use for handle back press if you want to go back without collapsing searchview
MenuItemCompat.setOnActionExpandListener(searchItem,new MenuItemCompat.OnActionExpandListener() {
#Override
public boolean onMenuItemActionExpand(MenuItem item) {
return true;
}
#Override
public boolean onMenuItemActionCollapse(MenuItem item) {
onBackPressed();
return false;
}
});
}
return true;
}
Screenshots :

I did it by setting a maximum width for the search view, equal to screen width, minus the action item width.
res/menu/search.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

searchView = (SearchView) menu.findItem(R.id.action_search).getActionView();
searchView.setIconified(false);
searchView.setMaxWidth(getSearchViewMaxWidth());
searchView.setOnCloseListener(new SearchView.OnCloseListener() {
#Override
public boolean onClose() {
performSearch("");
return true; // Disable dismissing the search view
}
});
searchView.setOnQueryTextListener(new SearchView.OnQueryTextListener() {
#Override
public boolean onQueryTextSubmit(String query) {
performSearch(query);
return true;
}
#Override
public boolean onQueryTextChange(String newText) {
return false;
}
});
}
#Px
private int getSearchViewMaxWidth() {
final int screenWidth = getResources().getDisplayMetrics().widthPixels;
final int actionItemWidth = getResources().getDimensionPixelSize(R.dimen.action_item_width);
return screenWidth - actionItemWidth;
}
res/values/dimens.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
<!-- ... -->
<dimen name="action_item_width">48dp</dimen>
</resources>

Change your onCreateOptionsMenu as follows to explicitly set the menu items visible when the SearchView menu item has focus.
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater();
inflater.inflate(R.menu.options_menu, menu);
SearchManager searchManager = (SearchManager) getSystemService(Context.SEARCH_SERVICE);
SearchView searchView = (SearchView) menu.findItem(R.id.action_search).getActionView();
searchView.setSearchableInfo(searchManager.getSearchableInfo(getComponentName()));
searchView.setIconifiedByDefault(false);
if (menu.getItem(0).isFocused()) //detect if search view has focus
{
//explicitly set menu items visible
menu.getItem(1).setVisible(true);
menu.getItem(2).setVisible(true);
}
return true;
}

you can customize width of expanded search view by this
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater();
inflater.inflate(R.menu.options_menu, menu);
SearchManager searchManager = (SearchManager) getSystemService(Context.SEARCH_SERVICE);
SearchView searchView = (SearchView) menu.findItem(R.id.action_search).getActionView();
searchView.setSearchableInfo(searchManager.getSearchableInfo(getComponentName()));
searchView.setIconifiedByDefault(false);
ActionBar.LayoutParams params = new ActionBar.LayoutParams(ActionBar.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, ActionBar.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT);
params.width=500;
searchView.setLayoutParams(params);
menu.findItem(R.id.action_search).expandActionView();
return true;
}

try this:
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:id="#+id/action_search"
android:title="Search"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_menu_search"
android:orderInCategory="1"
android:showAsAction="collapseActionView|ifRoom"
android:actionViewClass="android.widget.SearchView" />
<item
android:title="Route"
android:id="#+id/action_route"
android:icon="#drawable/route"
android:orderInCategory="2"
android:showAsAction="always" />
<item
android:title="Cancel"
android:id="#+id/action_cancel"
android:icon="#drawable/cancel"
android:orderInCategory="2"
android:showAsAction="always" />
</menu>

Regards search view in android

I implemented search view for filtering items in listview. It's working fine. My problem is search view showing > ( next icon ) in action bar. What is this? how can i remove this?
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater();
inflater.inflate(R.menu.search_menu, menu);
SearchManager searchManager = (SearchManager)
getSystemService(Context.SEARCH_SERVICE);
searchMenuItem = menu.findItem(R.id.search);
searchView = (SearchView) searchMenuItem.getActionView();
searchView.setSearchableInfo(searchManager.
getSearchableInfo(getComponentName()));
searchView.setSubmitButtonEnabled(true);
searchView.setOnQueryTextListener(this);
return true;
}

Showing android.support.v7.widget.SearchView at right align

I'm trying to move the SearchView to the right on the toolbar but it's not working. Here is how I set the alignment in onCreateOptionsMenu:
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.menu_main, menu);
MenuItem searchViewItem = menu.findItem(R.id.action_search);
SearchView searchView = (SearchView) searchViewItem.getActionView();
searchView.setIconifiedByDefault(false);
searchView.setLayoutParams(new Toolbar.LayoutParams(Gravity.RIGHT));
return true;
}
menu.xml
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
tools:context=".MainActivity">
<item
android:id="#+id/action_search"
android:title="#string/action_search"
android:orderInCategory="100"
android:icon="#mipmap/ic_action_search"
app:showAsAction="always"
app:actionViewClass="android.support.v7.widget.SearchView"/>
</menu>
Here is a demo image which shows how the SearchView currently appears:

changing the position of the search icon

I use SearchView in OptionsMenu:
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:id="#+id/action_search"
android:title="Search"
android:icon="#drawable/icon_search"
android:showAsAction="always"
android:actionViewClass="android.widget.SearchView" />
</menu>
In main activity:
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.menu_search, menu);
View inflatedView = getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.arrow, null);
MenuItem searchItem = menu.findItem(R.id.action_search);
mSearchView = (SearchView) searchItem.getActionView();
setupSearchView(searchItem);
return (super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu));
}
The search icon located on the right in menu. How to change its position in my menu? I want that it is located left.
