Hi the search widget in the action bar of my application is not displaying the default text for some reason. I am sure I might be missing something.
The code looks like below:-
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.activity_main, menu);
try{
SearchView searchView = (SearchView) menu.findItem(R.id.action_search).getActionView();
searchView.setOnQueryTextListener(this);
}catch(Exception e){
Log.v(TAG,"inflated"+e.getMessage()+"--"+e.getClass()+"-"+e.getClass());
}
return true;
}
menu/activity_main
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:id="#+id/action_search"
android:title="#string/search_title"
android:icon="#android:drawable/ic_menu_search"
android:showAsAction="ifRoom|collapseActionView"
android:actionViewClass="android.widget.SearchView" />
</menu>
values/strings.xml
<resources>
<string name="search_title">Search Data</string>
</resources>
The search widget is working perfectly , the only thing is the default text "Search Data" is not showing..
Can someone tell me what am I doing wrong
Try to use this
searchView.setQueryHint(getResources().getString(R.string.search_title));

I am trying to implement a search functionality in my application.
I am trying to display search icon in toolbar, but instead of single search icon multiple icons are getting displayed. One icon is getting displayed from menu.xml file and other icon is getting displayed from the line setHasOptionsMenu(true);.
If I do not use "setHasOptionsMenu(true)" line then onOptionsItemSelectedMenu method will not get called, if I do not give search icon in menu.xml file then search icon will not get displayed. Please let me know how to come out of the issue. I am trying hard with no fruits. Please help me come out of this issue.
My current toolbar looks as shown in the image below:
My menu.xml file:
<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="com.blo.ifo.ifocusblogs.ActivityForFragments">
<item
android:id="#+id/action_settings"
android:orderInCategory="100"
android:title="#string/action_settings"
app:showAsAction="never" />
<item android:id="#+id/search"
android:title="#string/search_label"
android:icon="#mipmap/ic_menu_search"
app:showAsAction="collapseActionView|ifRoom"
app:actionViewClass="android.support.v7.widget.SearchView" />
</menu>
I had the same problem
my problem
and this was the solution that I've found:
add "menu.clear();" to "onPrepareOptionsMenu" in MainActivity
solution
#Override
public boolean onPrepareOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
menu.clear();
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main,menu);
MenuItem itemSearch = menu.findItem(R.id.action_search);
mSearchView = (SearchView) itemSearch.getActionView();
SearchManager searchManager = (SearchManager) getSystemService(Context.SEARCH_SERVICE);
mSearchView.setSearchableInfo( searchManager.getSearchableInfo(getComponentName()));
mSearchView.setQueryHint(getResources().getString(R.string.searchProduct));
mSearchView.setOnQueryTextListener(new SearchView.OnQueryTextListener() {
#Override
public boolean onQueryTextSubmit(String s) {
return false;
}
#Override
public boolean onQueryTextChange(String newText) {
if (TextUtils.isEmpty(newText)){
adapter.getFilter().filter("");
listview.clearTextFilter();
}else {
adapter.getFilter().filter(newText.toString());
}
return true;
}
});
return true;
}
I am building a chat application just like Whatsapp. I have build the search functionality successfully in my application using the SearchView in the ActionBar. This is what I have done so far:
Instead of this I want the SearchView with navigation up and down arrows (like in Whatsapp) when I click on the search button. This is what I want to achieve:
Here is my code for the Search button:
// SearchView
SearchView searchView = (SearchView) menu.findItem(R.id.action_search)
.getActionView();
searchView.setQueryHint("Search...");
searchView.setOnQueryTextListener(new SearchView.OnQueryTextListener() {
#Override
public boolean onQueryTextSubmit(String query) {
adapter.filter(query);
return false;
}
#Override
public boolean onQueryTextChange(String newText) {
adapter.filter(newText);
return true;
}
});
This is the xml file in my menu folder:
<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" >
<item
android:id="#+id/action_settings"
android:orderInCategory="100"
android:title="#string/action_settings"
app:showAsAction="never"/>
<item android:id="#+id/action_search"
android:title="#string/action_search"
app:showAsAction="never|collapseActionView"
app:actionViewClass="android.support.v7.widget.SearchView" />
</menu>
Please tell me how to achieve this. Thanks
I'm coming back to my main activity from a fragment and for some logic I have to change the appearence of an icon on the action bar menu.
This is the menu on the action bar:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
tools:context="it.gn.sfa.Main">
<item
android:id="#+id/action_search"
android:actionViewClass="android.widget.SearchView"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_action_search"
android:showAsAction="collapseActionView|ifRoom"
android:title="Search" />
<item
android:id="#+id/action_filter"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_action_filter_empty"
android:showAsAction="ifRoom"
android:title="Filter" />
<item
android:id="#+id/action_new"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_action_new"
android:showAsAction="ifRoom"
android:title="New" />
</menu>
I have to change the sencond item (the one with id = action_filter).
I've tried different solutions, found on different post. The most rated is
mOptionsMenu.getItem(0).setIcon(getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.ic_action_filter));
but seems not to work.
On the other side getActionBar().setIcon(getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.ic_action_filter)); changes the logo, and I don't want so.
How can i change only the second item on menu?
try this one
mOptionsMenu.findItem(R.id.action_filter).setIcon(R.drawable.ic_action_filter);
Assuming you have it all set up for mOptionsMenu in
private Menu mOptionsMenu;
...
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
// inflating your menu here
mOptionsMenu = menu;
return super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
}
Hope it helps :)
I hope it will be help for you
getSupportActionBar().setHomeButtonEnabled(true);
getSupportActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
getSupportActionBar().setTitle(Html.fromHtml("<font color='#ffffff'>" + "Messages" + "</font>"));
getSupportActionBar().setBackgroundDrawable(new ColorDrawable(getResources().getColor(R.color.messagebar_color)));
getSupportActionBar().setHomeAsUpIndicator(R.drawable.back_arrow_black);
You have to modify your onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu)
I changed the color of my search bar programmatically. I am posting the code here. Hope it helps.
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater();
inflater.inflate(R.menu.items, menu);
menu.getItem(0).setIcon(getTintedDrawable(R.drawable.search, R.color.blue));
return super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
}
Where getTintedDrawable() is a function that i created which returns a drawable. So all you need to do is replace getTintedDrawable(R.drawable.search, R.color.blue) by your drawable.
NOTE: I have used menu.getItem(0) my code since I had only 1 item defined in menu/items.xml. If you have multiple try different values (from 0 to one less than number of menu items). My guess would be that its the number at which the item is defined but I'm not too sure.
I manage to rotate/change the icon this way:
MenuItem item = getToolbar().getMenu().findItem(Menu.FIRST);
<prepare the image view from drawable here>
item.setActionView(imageView);
Seems to work OK.
You could also simply use the item.setIcon() instead.
In my android app .. I am trying t put a search edittext with seARCH icon .. but I cant see the search icon in action bar rather the title is seeing in overflow. I am giving my code below
activity
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
<item android:id="#+id/action_search"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_action_search"
android:title="#string/action_search"
android:showAsAction="always"/>
<item
android:id="#+id/action_settings"
android:title="Settings"/>
</menu>
MainActvity
public class MainActivity extends ActionBarActivity
{
WebView wv1;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
wv1 = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.wView1);
wv1.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
wv1.loadUrl("http://www.example.com/songs/");
}
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater();
inflater.inflate(R.menu.activity_main_actions, menu);
return super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
}
}
Use Search Manager n search view in onCreateOptionsMenu
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater();
inflater.inflate(R.menu.activity_main_actions, 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.setSearchableInfo(searchManager
.getSearchableInfo(getComponentName()));
return super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
}
and in your main.xml add this item for search
<item android:id="#+id/action_search"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_action_search"
android:title="#string/action_search"
android:showAsAction="ifRoom"
android:actionViewClass="android.widget.SearchView"/>
I think you must return `true` instead of
super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu)
in `onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu)` method
Excuses. That was wrong.
I think this problem has something to do with the base class you are using. Your are subclassing ActionBarActivity instead of Activity. This means that you are using compatibility for previous versions. For this to work, you need to set your application's Theme to Theme.AppCompat (or a similar one), and also include the Support Library. Look here
I just realized how to fix the problem!
your menu xml file should have an starting tag like:
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:myApp="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto" >
you can replace
myApp
with any names you want, NOW the important part is when you define an action item:
<item
android:id="#+id/actionitem_switch_view"
android:title="#string/view_as"
android:showAsAction="always"
myApp:showAsAction="always"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_action_view_as_list"/>
You'd have two showAsAction tags,one for API<11 devices and one for the others,
Look closely that the two showAsAction tags are different,one is from Android namespace and the other's from the tag you defined in menu Starting point
So, I want to make a query to JSON with "SearchView" in Actionbar but SearchView is for Search as the name suggests.
I mean to get the symbolic appearance and the possibility to transfer data from them after the assignment of items to the variables (EditText, Button)
I searched the web on this subject but found nothing.
I have basic layout with this view :
XML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item
android:id="#+id/menu_search"
android:actionViewClass="android.widget.SearchView"
android:icon="#drawable/action_search"
android:showAsAction="always|collapseActionView"
android:title="Search"/>
</menu>
Java :
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater();
SearchView searchView = (SearchView) menu.findItem(R.id.menu_search).getActionView();
inflater.inflate(R.menu.search_in_menu, menu);
return true;
}
Any suggestions?
(I'm a beginner)
