show url in searchview android

Question

I want to show the current URL of the WebView in a SearchView menu item. I know that to get the URL, I need to use the WebView method getUrl(), but I don`t know how to show it after searching the query.

Here my code:

@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
    super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
    MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater();
    inflater.inflate(R.menu.menu_main, menu);

    MenuItem searchItem =  menu.findItem(R.id.action_search);

    final SearchView searchView = (SearchView)searchItem.getActionView();
    searchView.setOnQueryTextListener(new SearchView.OnQueryTextListener() {
        @Override
        public boolean onQueryTextSubmit(String query) {
            String url = "https://www.google.com/search?q="+query;
            PlaceholderFragment.mWebView.loadUrl(url);
            searchView.clearFocus();
            return true;
        }

        @Override
        public boolean onQueryTextChange(String newText) {
            return false;
        }
    });
    return true;
}

Also how do I add the capability to copy and paste this URL?

Answer 1

can you use something like that ? You will get user changed url in shouldOverrideUrlLoading method

PlaceholderFragment.mWebView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient(){
    @Override
    public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView wView, String url)
    {
       searchView.setQuery(url, false);
        wView.loadUrl(url);
        return true;
    }
});
final SearchView searchView = (SearchView)searchItem.getActionView();
    searchView.setOnQueryTextListener(new SearchView.OnQueryTextListener() {
        @Override
        public boolean onQueryTextSubmit(String query) {
            String url = "https://www.google.com/search?q="+query;
            PlaceholderFragment.mWebView.loadUrl(url);
            searchView.clearFocus();
            return true;
        }

        @Override
        public boolean onQueryTextChange(String newText) {
            return false;
        }
    });

If any issue, let me now

Update

 @Override
    public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
     getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.menu, menu);
            searchView = (SearchView) menu.findItem(R.id.action_search).getActionView();

        int id = searchView.getContext().getResources().getIdentifier("android:id/search_src_text", null, null);
        EditText editText = (EditText) searchView.findViewById(id);
}

Menu xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item
        android:id="@+id/action_search"
        android:actionLayout="@layout/my_search_view"
        android:actionViewClass="android.widget.SearchView"
        android:icon="@android:drawable/ic_menu_search"
        android:showAsAction="always"
        android:title="Search" />
</menu>

Now ,you can use that edittext . It is simply hack of searchview ...

Now you can do selectAll on click of searchView

editText.selectAll();
