Android SearchView onclick

Question

I have a searchView which looks like this:

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

I don't see why you need to to set OnClickListener on it. By clicking on a SearchView you will update text cursor. To perform search you have a keyboard IME action. If clicking on it would perform search it would be impossible to change cursor etc. It is the generally wrong behaviour to make something else than focus / update cursor in text fields.

As far as I remember - you don't need to hide keyboard in OnQueryTextListener. It should hite automatically. Handle your search in OnQueryTextSubmit
