How to dismiss/close/collapse SearchView in ActionBar in MainActivity?

Question

I\'m trying to clear and close SearchView after entering a value. I found a solution but it closes the search and won\'t perform any action if I try to search again.

Answer 1

Use:

searchMenuItem.collapseActionView();

Instead of:

searchView.onActionViewCollapsed();

If you are using AppCompat library, then use:

MenuItemCompat.collapseActionView(searchMenuItem);
