Please somebody help me! I trying add appcompat search view to my project. Unsuccessfully. When I change android.support.v7.widget.SearchView to SearchView (API > 10) everyt

Answer 1

I had the same issue when I was using Android Studio and Gradle to build my project. I would like to add a SearchView of v7 compat.

The solution is to change gradle plugin version from 0.9.1 or others to 0.9.0. It is a temporary way I found. It maybe a bug of gradle plugin. Hope that helps.

    dependencies {
        classpath "com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.9.0"
    }
