I currently have a SearchView
in the action bar of my app. When I click the search icon, the SearchView
expands and the keyboard pops up as expected. Clicking the "X" in the SearchView
box closes the SearchView
as expected. However, when the SearchView
is activated and I press the "back" button, my app is exited. This is the correct behavior, but what I am trying to do now is to capture back button press and just have it close the SearchView
(not my app) when the SearchView
is visible. Is there a way to invoke the SearchView
OnCloseListener()
programmatically on a back button press? For example, something like this:
// On a back button press, if we are currently searching, // close the SearchView. Otherwise, invoke normal back button // behavior. public boolean onKeyDown(int keyCode, KeyEvent event) { if (keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK) { if (isSearchViewVisible) { SearchView searchView = (SearchView) menu.findItem(R.id.searchBox) .getActionView(); // This method does not exist searchView.invokeClose(); return true; } } return super.onKeyDown(keyCode, event); }
or use: myToolBar. collapseActionView(); This will make the searchView to collapse before you press the back then the back action will be called.
The collapseActionView flag indicates how to display the widget when the user is not interacting with it: If the widget is on the app bar, the app should display the widget as an icon. If the widget is in the overflow menu, the app should display the widget as a menu item.
Based on @MarcinOrlowski answer, also you can use:
@Override public void onBackPressed() { if (!searchView.isIconified()) { searchView.setIconified(true); } else { super.onBackPressed(); } }
