android - collapse searchview after submit

Question

I am using searchview in my application ( without action bar). How can i collapse searchview after query text submit ?

I have these listeners ;

        @Override
        public boolean onQueryTextSubmit(String query) {

            InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager)thisFr.getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
            imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(globalSearch.getWindowToken(), 0);

            return false;
        }

        @Override
        public boolean onQueryTextChange(String newText) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub
            return false;
        }

I don't use ActionBar so i don't have a function like collapseActionView() .

Waiting for help

Thanks

Answer 1

You can do it this way in your activity, tested with actionbarsherlock (it even hides the keyboard, make sure to return false in onQueryTextSubmit):

private MenuItem searchMenuItem;

public MenuItem getSearchMenuItem() {
    return searchMenuItem;
}

@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
    // ...
    searchMenuItem = menu.findItem(R.id.menu_search);
    // ...
    searchView.setOnQueryTextListener(new OnQueryTextListener() {
        @Override
        public boolean onQueryTextSubmit(String query) {
            MenuItem searchMenuItem = getSearchMenuItem();
            if (searchMenuItem != null) {
                searchMenuItem.collapseActionView();
            }
            return false;
        }
        @Override
        public boolean onQueryTextChange(String newText) {
            // ...
            return true;
        }
    });
    // ...
    return super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
}

Answer 2

you need to call setIconified(true) twice to actually collapse your search view, with first call text is cleared with second call keyboard and search view get closed.

Answer 3

If you are using the SearchView in the OptionsMenu, you ca call invalidateOptionsMenu()

Answer 4

//close suggestion list on query text submit
searchView.setIconified(true);
