I'm trying to implement SearchView according to some online tutorials. But when i clicked the search icon, it did not expand, instead another search icon appeared to the left and i must click again; this time it worked. Are there something i'm missing here?
Here are the captured images, sorry i can't post these to stackoverflow yet. http://1drv.ms/186yI2Y
If i delete collapseActionView
then it worked, but i can't customize search icon.
<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/search"
android:title="@string/search_title"
android:icon="@drawable/ic_action_search"
app:showAsAction="collapseActionView|ifRoom"
app:actionViewClass="android.widget.SearchView"/>
</menu>
In MainActivity.java
@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.menu_main, menu);
// Associate searchable configuration with the SearchView
SearchManager searchManager = (SearchManager) getSystemService(Context.SEARCH_SERVICE);
MenuItem searchItem = menu.findItem(R.id.search);
mSearchView = (SearchView) searchItem.getActionView();
mSearchView.setSearchableInfo(searchManager.getSearchableInfo(getComponentName()));
mSearchView.setIconifiedByDefault(true);
mSearchView.setOnSearchClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
showResultsFragment();
}
});
return true;
}
@Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
boolean toggleHandled = mDrawerToggle.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
return toggleHandled || super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
Thank in advance!
in your menu xml i changed app:actionViewClass="android.support.v7.widget.SearchView"
<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/search"
android:title="wrwrwr"
android:icon="@drawable/abc_ic_menu_copy_mtrl_am_alpha"
app:showAsAction="collapseActionView|ifRoom"
app:actionViewClass="android.support.v7.widget.SearchView"/>
</menu>
and in your activity
import android.support.v7.widget.SearchView; //don't import android.widget.SearchView
