I'm working in my app and have a searchview inside toolbar but the hint has a small padding after the cursor.
How can I remove the padding?
Here is my searchview:
and I would like that:
here is my onCreateOptionsMenu:
SearchManager searchManager=(SearchManager)getSystemService(Context.SEARCH_SERVICE);
MenuItem item=menu.findItem(R.id.procura);
Drawable drawable = menu.findItem(R.id.procura).getIcon();
if (drawable != null) {
drawable.mutate();
drawable.setColorFilter(Color.BLACK, PorterDuff.Mode.SRC_ATOP);
}
searchView=(SearchView) MenuItemCompat.getActionView(item);
searchView.setSearchableInfo(searchManager.getSearchableInfo(getComponentName()));
searchView.setQueryHint(getResources().getString(R.string.app_hint));
try {
Field mDrawable = SearchView.class.getDeclaredField("mSearchHintIcon");
mDrawable.setAccessible(true);
Drawable drw = (Drawable) mDrawable.get(searchView);
drw.setBounds(0, 0, 0, 0);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
My styles:
<style name="SearchViewMy" parent="Widget.AppCompat.Light.SearchView">
<item name="submitBackground">@color/colorPrimary</item>
<item name="queryBackground">@color/colorPrimary</item>
<item name="android:colorFocusedHighlight">@color/colorAccent</item>
</style>
My menu:
<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/procura"
android:title="@string/app_hint"
android:icon="@mipmap/ic_search_black_24dp"
app:showAsAction="ifRoom|collapseActionView"
app:actionViewClass="android.support.v7.widget.SearchView"/>
I found the solution for my problem.
Just add this in the styles:
<item name="searchHintIcon">@null</item>
The styles now is that:
<style name="SearchViewMy" parent="Widget.AppCompat.Light.SearchView">
<item name="submitBackground">@color/colorPrimary</item>
<item name="queryBackground">@color/colorPrimary</item>
<item name="searchHintIcon">@null</item>
<item name="android:colorFocusedHighlight">@color/colorAccent</item>
</style>
And onCreateOptionsMenu now is that:
// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.menu_main, menu);
SearchManager searchManager=(SearchManager)getSystemService(Context.SEARCH_SERVICE);
MenuItem item=menu.findItem(R.id.procura);
searchView=(SearchView) MenuItemCompat.getActionView(item);
searchView.setSearchableInfo(searchManager.getSearchableInfo(getComponentName()));
searchView.setQueryHint(getResources().getString(R.string.app_hint));
return true;
