I have a SearchView in my actionbar now it works exactly as it should , any way i have one problem , when i click the submit button i.e the query is submitted and the results appear , when i return back to the activity from which i start the search from the SearchView is expanded , my question how can i close it i.e iconified it on submitting . this is my code .
searchView = (SearchView) item.getActionView();
SearchManager searchManager = (SearchManager) getSystemService(Context.SEARCH_SERVICE);
searchView.setSearchableInfo(searchManager
.getSearchableInfo(getComponentName()));
searchView.setIconifiedByDefault(true);
searchView.setIconified(true);
searchView.setQueryRefinementEnabled(true);
searchView
.setOnQueryTextListener(new SearchView.OnQueryTextListener() {
@Override
public boolean onQueryTextSubmit(String query) {
try {
searchView = (SearchView) item.getActionView();
SearchManager searchManager = (SearchManager) getSystemService(Context.SEARCH_SERVICE);
searchView.setSearchableInfo(searchManager
.getSearchableInfo(getComponentName()));
searchView.setIconifiedByDefault(true);
searchView.setIconified(true);
searchView.setQueryRefinementEnabled(true);
searchView
.setOnQueryTextListener(new SearchView.OnQueryTextListener() {
@Override
public boolean onQueryTextSubmit(String query) {
try {
} catch (Exception ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
}
return false;
}
@Override
public boolean onQueryTextChange(String newText) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
return false;
}
}); // doesnot work
} catch (Exception ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
}
return false;
}
@Override
public boolean onQueryTextChange(String newText) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
return false;
}
});
This solution works:
@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
getSupportMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.home_screen, menu);
SearchManager searchManager = (SearchManager) getSystemService(Context.SEARCH_SERVICE);
final MenuItem searchMenuItem = menu.findItem(R.id.menu_search);
final SearchView searchView = (SearchView) searchMenuItem
.getActionView();
searchView.setIconifiedByDefault(false);
if (searchManager != null && searchView != null) {
searchView.setSearchableInfo(searchManager
.getSearchableInfo(getComponentName()));
searchView
.setOnQueryTextFocusChangeListener(new View.OnFocusChangeListener() {
@Override
public void onFocusChange(View v, boolean hasFocus) {
if (!hasFocus) {
if (searchMenuItem != null) {
searchMenuItem.collapseActionView();
}// end if
if (searchView != null) {
searchView.setQuery("", false);
}// end if
}// end if
}
});
searchView
.setOnQueryTextListener(new SearchView.OnQueryTextListener() {
@Override
public boolean onQueryTextSubmit(String query) {
/**
* hides and then unhides search tab to make sure
* keyboard disappears when query is submitted
*/
if (searchView != null) {
searchView.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
searchView.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
}
return false;
}
@Override
public boolean onQueryTextChange(String newText) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
return false;
}
});
}
return super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
}
