Answer 1

If you are using search dialog you can do something like this for Kotlin

override fun onOptionsItemSelected(item: MenuItem): Boolean {
    val id = item.itemId

    return if (id == R.id.search_button) {
        val searchManager = this.getSystemService(Context.SEARCH_SERVICE) as SearchManager
        searchManager.setOnDismissListener {
            // return the activity to the normal state
        }
        // set activity to search state then request search
        onSearchRequested()
    } else super.onOptionsItemSelected(item)

}

Answer 2

MenuItemCompat.setOnActionExpandListener is now deprecated

use

menu.findItem(R.id.action_search)setOnActionExpandListener(new MenuItem.OnActionExpandListener() {
    @Override
    public boolean onMenuItemActionExpand(MenuItem menuItem) {
        return false;
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onMenuItemActionCollapse(MenuItem menuItem) {
        return false;
    }
});

instead

Here is a way of doing it -

@Override
public void onBackPressed() {

    // Write your code here

    super.onBackPressed();
}

Answer 4

If you use android.support.v7.widget.SearchView as menu item:

<menu
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto">

    <item
        android:id="@+id/action_search"
        android:title=""
        app:showAsAction="ifRoom|collapseActionView"
        app:actionViewClass="android.support.v7.widget.SearchView"/>
</menu>

You can handle back button (for expanded state) with:

@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
    getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.menu, menu);
    MenuItem searchItem = menu.findItem(R.id.action_search);
    searchItem.expandActionView();
    MenuItemCompat.setOnActionExpandListener(searchItem, new MenuItemCompat.OnActionExpandListener() {
        @Override
        public boolean onMenuItemActionExpand(MenuItem item) {
            return true;
        }

        @Override
        public boolean onMenuItemActionCollapse(MenuItem item) {
            // Write your code here
            return true;
        }
    });
}
