searchview

I know there's already a lot of answers for this question here, and I wouldn't be creating another thread if I hadn't already tried everything I saw here. Anyway, the question is pretty simple. I don't mind if the solution comes from XML styling or Java code (both solutions are welcome). I will show everything (most of it anyway) I've tried to solve it. First of all, the searview icon seems to be immutable by code since I can't change anything from it. My searchview is declared in menu.xml as this <item android:id="@+id/icon_search" android:title="Searchador" android:icon="@drawable/ic_search

I have implemented two fragments with ActionBar tabs. I am using Sherlock fragments. When I start a fragment I create a searchview on the action bar. The problem is: When I search something on the first fragment and without closing the searchview or deleting the text, I move to the next fragment, I get a collapsed searchview, which is fine. But when I again get back to my first fragment, I see a list sorted like before but the searchview is collapsed. The only way to get back the original list is to click the searchview once and closing it. How do I reset the searchview on the first fragment

I want to change the color of the back button in the toolbar when a search is displayed (the circled white arrow). I managed to change the color of all other elements and I am stuck with the back arrow color. I can set the collapseIcon (back arrow drawable) from xml: <android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar android:id="@+id/toolbar" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize" android:background="?attr/colorPrimary" app:layout_scrollFlags="enterAlways" app:popupTheme="@style/AppTheme.PopupOverlay" app:collapseIcon=I_WANT_TO_SET_THIS_PROGRAMMATICALLY> I set app

I have one Sherlock Fragment Activity from which i am setting the different sherlock fragments using fragment pager adapter. Now to show the searchview in each of the fragment i have placed this method in onCreate of Fragment:: This method will show menu items in the ActionBar of the fragment. @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setHasOptionsMenu(true); } I have now also set the onCreateOptionMenu() like this :: @Override public void onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu, MenuInflater inflater) { super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu, inflater);

I've followed this Android guide in order to add a search bar to an activity. The setup looks like this: res/menu/activity_main.xml: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" > <item android:id="@+id/search" android:title="@string/menu_search" android:icon="@android:drawable/ic_menu_search" android:showAsAction="collapseActionView|ifRoom" android:actionViewClass="android.widget.SearchView" /> <item android:id="@+id/menu_settings" android:orderInCategory="100" android:showAsAction="never" android:title="@string/menu_settings" android

I'm trying to implement android.support.v7.widget.SearchView with a collapseIcon on the Toolbar . Everything works fine i.e, the SearchView is working as expected but I'm unable to remove/ reduce the padding between the SearchView and collapseIcon , as visible in the attached screenshot. Any ideas on how can I do that? I've tried : app:contentInsetStartWithNavigation="0dp" app:contentInsetLeft="0dp" app:contentInsetStart="0dp" android:contentInsetLeft="0dp" android:contentInsetStart="0dp" but this doesn't work. The problem can be solved by setting the leftMargin = 0 in the layout parameters

I tried to update all the libraries, but i still got errors. I am able to run the app on the simulator, but when I export the APK and run it on a real android device, the app is not working. MinSdkVersion is 8, targetSdkVersion is 19. Please help!!! menu.xml <menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:example="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"> <item android:id="@+id/action_showTC" android:orderInCategory="100" android:showAsAction="never" android:title="Terms and Conditions"/> <item android:id="@+id/action_search" android:title="Search" android
