Rendering Problems Couldn't resolve resource @id/search_edit_frame

This is the rendering error I'm getting in my xml file. I think it has something to do with my support.v7.SearchView below is my xml:

 <RelativeLayout
    android:id="@+id/layout_ricerca"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="50dp"
    android:background="@drawable/search_border_backgroud"
    android:layout_marginStart="10dp"
    android:layout_marginEnd="10dp"
    android:layout_marginTop="20dp">

    <android.support.v7.widget.SearchView
        android:id="@+id/testo_ricerca"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:queryHint="@string/search_hint"
        android:textSize="25sp"
        android:layout_marginStart="5dp"
        android:iconifiedByDefault="false"/>

    <ImageButton
        android:id="@+id/tasto_ricerca"
        android:background="@color/trans"
        android:layout_marginTop="2dp"
        android:layout_width="45dp"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:layout_marginEnd="3dp"
        android:scaleType="centerInside"
        android:layout_alignParentEnd="true"
        android:src="@drawable/tasto_ricerca"/>
</RelativeLayout>

When I change the <android.support.v7.widget.SearchView to <SearchView the error disappears, but that's not a good solution for me because I would have to change all my java code to work with the SearchView instead of the android.support.v7.widget.SearchView.

Does anyone know how to fix this problem ? why does it happen? I don't think there is anything wrong with my xml.

Edit:

Added screenshot of the error

Answer 1

To resolve this issue, provide an

android:id="@+id/search_edit_frame"

attribute to a parent view such as

android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout

or any ViewGroup that is parent to your SearchView.

For example:

<android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout
  android:id="@+id/search_edit_frame"
  android:layout_width="match_parent"
  android:layout_height="@dimen/my_app_bar_height">

  <android.support.v7.widget.SearchView
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent" />

<android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout />

Answer 2

    android:id="@+id/search_edit_frame"

add above line to parent layout that did the trick for me

Answer 3

use this code

<SearchView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="@+id/searchView"
android:iconifiedByDefault="true"
android:queryHint="Search"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true" />
