The onQueryTextSubmit in SearchView is processed twice in Android Java

Question

Why the onQueryTextSubmit method in SearchView is processed twice? I need one result, how can I do it?

This is my code:

 public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
    getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.menu_main, menu);
    SearchView searchView = (SearchView) menu.findItem(R.id.action_search).getActionView();
    searchView.setOnQueryTextListener(new SearchView.OnQueryTextListener() {
        @Override
        public boolean onQueryTextSubmit(String query) {
            if (query != null)
                audioRequest(query);
            return false;
        }

        @Override
        public boolean onQueryTextChange(String newText) {
            return false;
        }
    });
    return true;
}

Answer 1

SearchView has the following OnEditorActionListener on Android API 28:

private final OnEditorActionListener mOnEditorActionListener = new OnEditorActionListener() {

    /**
     * Called when the input method default action key is pressed.
     */
    public boolean onEditorAction(TextView v, int actionId, KeyEvent event) {
        onSubmitQuery();
        return true;
    }
};

And in my debugger, I see that onEditorAction is called with both KeyEvent.action == KeyEvent.ACTION_DOWN and then KeyEvent.action == ACTION_UP.

This seems like a bug in SearchView.

You can use the following code to prevent onQueryTextSubmit from getting executed twice:

searchView.clearFocus();
