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 must suggest to use setOnSearchClickListener listner to detect SearchView click as According to Android docs :

setOnSearchClickListener

void setOnSearchClickListener (View.OnClickListener listener)

Sets a listener to inform when the search button is pressed.

@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
    MenuInflater menuInflater = getMenuInflater();
    menuInflater.inflate(R.menu.orders_menu, menu);
    MenuItem searchItem = menu.findItem(R.id.action_search);
    SearchManager searchManager = (SearchManager) getSystemService(Context.SEARCH_SERVICE);

    if (searchView != null) {
        searchView = (SearchView) searchItem.getActionView();
        searchView.setOnSearchClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View view) {
              //perform your click operation here 
            }
        });
  return true;
}
