How to close a SearchView programmatically on back pressed?

Question

I have the same question which I found here which I will re-iterate because the solution is not 100% exactly what I need:

I currently have a SearchVie

Answer 1

try

@Override
public void onBackPressed() {

View view = this.getCurrentFocus();
if (view != null) {  
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager)getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(view.getWindowToken(), 0);
}
if (!searchView.isIconified()) {
    searchView.setIconified(true);
} else {
    super.onBackPressed();
}
}

Answer 2

Add a method to close the keyboard within onBackPressed() here is the code to hide keyboard.

private void hideKeyboard() {
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) 
    getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(mInputField.getWindowToken(), 0);
}

Answer 3

I did it like this in the activity where the SearchView is located

@Override
    public void onBackPressed() {
        super.onBackPressed();
        if (!searchView.isIconified()) {
            searchView.setIconified(true);
        }
    }

Answer 4

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
    MenuItem menuItemSearch;

    @Override
    protected void onResume() {
      if(menuItemSearch!=null)
        MenuItemCompat.collapseActionView(menuItemSearch);  // while activity begins, searchView is closed if remained open.
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onPrepareOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
      menuItemSearch = menu.findItem(R.id.menuSearch);
    }
}

Answer 5

Based on @Archana answer, the onBackPressed() should be like :

@Override
public void onBackPressed() {    
    hideSoftKeyboard();
    if (!searchView.isIconified()) {
        searchView.setIconified(true);
    } else {
        super.onBackPressed();
    }
}

private void hideSoftKeyboard(){
    View view = activity.getCurrentFocus ();
    if (view != null) {
        InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) activity.getSystemService (Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
        imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow (view.getWindowToken (), 0);
    }
}

or you can also override the onKeyDown()

@Override
public boolean onKeyDown (int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
    if (keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK) {
        hideSoftKeyboard ();
        if (! searchView.isIconified ()) {
            searchView.setIconified (true);
        } 
        return true;
    }
    return super.onKeyDown (keyCode, event);
}

private void hideSoftKeyboard() {
    View view = activity.getCurrentFocus ();
    if (view != null) {
        InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) activity.getSystemService (Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
        imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow (view.getWindowToken (), 0);
    }
}

Answer 6

@Override
public void onBackPressed() {    
    if (!searchView.isIconified()) {
        searchView.setIconified(true);
        searchView.onActionViewCollapsed()
    } else {
        super.onBackPressed();
    }
}

below method is Clear your text Only

searchView.setIconified(true); 

below This methods is close your search view

searchView.onActionViewCollapsed()
