I would like to use ACTION_COLLAPSE_ACTION_VIEW in ActionBar. So I would have search and search suggestions in ActionBar. Is it possible to make show this input text, without need of clicking menu first?
My Activity is only for search purpose so it's not nice when user need first click on search.
I managed to solve my problem by using custom view and displaying there some input field.

Is it possible to easily show a simple menu, similar to this one in a screenshot from Chrome? I want a menu to show when there is a selection to manipulate to allow the user to Slect All, Cut, Copy, Paste.
Is this a standard control or something that should be easy to get working? What is the name of this control. This control is not showing automatically for our custom EditText view, which is fully functional in every other way.
Will I have to create my own custom control and display it in the correct location, manually? I have done similar work for an equivalent custom control in iOS, where the menu I want is called an Edit Menu, and it is trivial to show and hide that menu.

I'm using the AutoCompleteTextView to allow users to search a from a list of countries. I want to have some default text preloaded in the search bar before the user clicks on it, such as "Search" or "Find Nearest Country". Is it possible to do this? If so how?
Right now, the app opens directly into the search box with the keyboard pulled up. Rather, I want the users to click on the bar before searching.

A TextView's hint seems to be exactly what you need. See android:hint for the XML attribute or setHint() for the corresponding Java method.
To prevent the keyboard from popping as soon as your activity is entered, you should set the android:windowSoftInputMode attribute in the activity declaration to stateHidden.
I use android SearchView which is in action bar. I have some ListView on which I search. I want to after I entered some search text this text remain in search bar, and I can delete this text to get my initial list. I saw applications which work like this. Please help me and also please tell me good tutorials for dynamic search while typing and for searchview callbacks.
I wanted to know whether using the SearchView widgit or the EditText widgit with a Button widgit was a better implementation of a search bar I wanted to create (a search bar meaning you type in a word and u click go and it'll take you to some sort of result).
Its depends on your requirement of your database is huge that the hint results cant be displayed in single screen then better to use edit-text with a go button for search.if you have limited data in list-view or something you can use edit search box.
