Android SearchView onclick

Question

I have a searchView which looks like this:

private void setupSearchView() {
    mSearchView = (SearchView) getActivity().findViewById(
            R.id.search_vi         


        

Answer 1

I managed to do this in the following way:

Setup the search view on click listener

mSearchView.setOnClickListener(this);

Catch the onClick event:

@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
    switch (v.getId()) {
        case R.id.searchView:
            mSearchView.onActionViewExpanded();
            break;
    }
}

In this way the keyboard and search are activated if you click antwhere on the search bar.
