When I try to configure SearchView like in documentation I get this error if using ActionBarSherlock:
FATAL EXCEPTION: main
java.lang.ClassCastException: android.widget.SearchView cannot be cast to com.actionbarsherlock.widget.SearchView

My code is exactly as in example:
import com.actionbarsherlock.view.*;
import com.actionbarsherlock.widget.SearchView;
......
@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
getSupportMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
SearchManager searchManager = (SearchManager) getSystemService(Context.SEARCH_SERVICE);
SearchView searchView = (SearchView)menu.findItem(R.id.action_search).getActionView();
searchView.setSearchableInfo(searchManager.getSearchableInfo(getComponentName()));
searchView.setIconifiedByDefault(true);
searchView.setSubmitButtonEnabled(true);
return true;
}
Didn't find description of this nowhere so asking you: what's this?
By the way, if I use import android.widget.SearchView;
instead of import com.actionbarsherlock.widget.SearchView;
the application compiles and works with API greater than 11 but I need it on version 10.
My apologies guys, but this was my mistake.
Be aware of what class are you referencing in menu xml resource. In my case it was:
<item android:id="@+id/action_search"
android:title="@string/action_search"
android:icon="@drawable/action_search_light"
android:showAsAction="always|collapseActionView"
android:actionViewClass="android.widget.SearchView"/>
and this caused cast error. Changed actionViewClass to com.actionbarsherlock.widget.SearchView and got exactly what was expecting!
