how to get the events of searchview in android

Question

I'm using a search view in my application. Now i just want to get the text typed in the SearchView text box and display it on another textview. If i typed the text and click a button i can do the same. But i don't want to use any extra buttons. I just want to display the result when i am pressing enter key.

Try to use setOnQueryTextListener of SearchView

new SearchView.OnQueryTextListener() {     @Override     public boolean onQueryTextChange(String newText) {         // your text view here         textView.setText(newText);         return true;     }      @Override     public boolean onQueryTextSubmit(String query) {         textView.setText(query);         return true;     } }
