Android searchView clear text button listener

Question

how I can set a listener into 'clear text' button in searchView (not close). And no, onQueryTextChange set to empty does not solve my problem.

Greetings

Try to get clearButton from SearchView and set OnClickListener like below:

ImageView clearButton = searchView.findViewById(androidx.appcompat.R.id.search_close_btn);
clearButton.setOnClickListener(v -> {
    if(searchView.getQuery().length() == 0) {
        searchView.setIconified(true);
    } else {

        // Do your task here
        searchView.setQuery("", false);
    }
});
