Action Bar Sherlock SearchView not expanding on click of it

I have one Sherlock Fragment Activity from which i am setting the different sherlock fragments using fragment pager adapter.

Now to show the searchview in each of the fragment i have placed this method in onCreate of Fragment::

This method will show menu items in the ActionBar of the fragment.

@Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setHasOptionsMenu(true);
    }

I have now also set the onCreateOptionMenu() like this ::

@Override
public void onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu, MenuInflater inflater) 
{
    super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu, inflater);

    inflater.inflate(R.menu.menu, menu);
    final MenuItem searchItem = menu.findItem(R.id.menu_item_search);
    final SearchView searchView = (SearchView) searchItem.getActionView();
    searchView.setQueryHint("Search Here");
}

Now the strange things happens that in my first fragment i have done the same thing and the searchview get opened successfully.

If

  • i go to the first fragment,open the searchview then go to the second
  • fragment the searchview will get opened.

Same thing happens for third fragment

  • go to 3rd fragment,
  • open searchview,
  • back to the second frgment,searchview get opened.

But if i go to directly on the second fragment the searchview not get opened.

Hope i am clear.

Any clue about this? Any suggestion/links will be appreciated..

Thanks in Advance...

Solution

  • I have achieved what i want finally but with one problem.. I don't know whatever i have done is the hack/patch or the correct way but it is working fine in <3.0 but now find the issue in >=3.0.

    What i have done is ::

    In My Container Activity i have declare the onCreateOptionsMenu() and onPrepareOptionsMenu() ::

    @Override
    public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) 
    {
        super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
        getSupportMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.menu, menu);
        return true;
    }
    public boolean onPrepareOptionsMenu(Menu menu) 
    {
        if(versionStatus==0)
        {
            menu.findItem(R.id.root_menu).setVisible(false);
        }
        return super.onPrepareOptionsMenu(menu);
    }

    Now in each Fragment's onCreateOptionsMenu() i have done something like this ::
    I have checked the build version of OS and based on that i manupulate my option menu like below ..

    @Override
    public void onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu, MenuInflater inflater) 
    {
        super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu, inflater);
        int currentapiVersion = android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT;
        int versionStatus = 0;
        if (currentapiVersion == android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES.FROYO || currentapiVersion == android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES.GINGERBREAD)
        {
            versionStatus=0;
        }
        else if(currentapiVersion >= android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES.HONEYCOMB)
        {
            versionStatus=1;
        }
        if(versionStatus==1)
        {
            inflater.inflate(R.menu.menu, menu);
            menu.findItem(R.id.menu_item_search).setVisible(false);

            final MenuItem searchItem = menu.findItem(R.id.menu_item_search);
            SearchView searchView = (SearchView) searchItem.getActionView();
            searchView.setQueryHint("Search Products");
            searchView.setIconifiedByDefault(false);
            searchView.setOnQueryTextListener(this);
        }
        else
        {
            inflater.inflate(R.menu.menu, menu);
            final MenuItem searchItem = menu.findItem(R.id.menu_item_search);
            SearchView searchView = (SearchView) searchItem.getActionView();
            searchView.setQueryHint("Search Products");
            searchView.setIconifiedByDefault(false);
            searchView.setOnQueryTextListener(this);
        }
    }

    It's working fine in 2.3.3 but problem m facing now is in 3.0 +

    1)not able to see the hint after expanding the searchview
    2)expand the searchview in first fragment... enter image description here

    3)Move to second fragment(without collapsing the searchview ) enter image description here

    4)Now in second fragment expand the searchview of current fragment enter image description here

    5)in Current Fragment Pressed Back then the result is mess :(

    enter image description here

    EDIT ::

    I have done the following changes in my Container Activity and now its working fine,Finally i have achieved what i want....

      @Override
        public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) 
        {
            super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
            if(versionStatus==0)
            {
                getSupportMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.menu, menu);
            }
            return true;
        }
        public boolean onPrepareOptionsMenu(Menu menu) 
        {
            if(versionStatus==0)
            {
                menu.findItem(R.id.root_menu).setVisible(false);
            }
            return super.onPrepareOptionsMenu(menu);
        }
