问题
The SearchView element doesn't have any properties for changing the text color. The default text color is black and doesn't work on our dark background. Is there a way to change the color of the text without resorting to hacks?
I found this similar question related to changing the text size, but so far, it doesn't have any answers: How to set SearchView TextSize?
回答1:
Add
<item name="android:editTextColor">@android:color/white</item>
to the parent theme and that should change the entered text. You can also use
<item name="android:textColorHint">@android:color/white</item>
to change the hint text for the SearchView. (Note that you can replace the @android:color/white with whatever appropriate value you're hoping to use)
回答2:
Try something like this : You would get a handle to the textview from the sdk and then change it since they don't expose it publicly.
int id = searchView.getContext().getResources().getIdentifier("android:id/search_src_text", null, null);
TextView textView = (TextView) searchView.findViewById(id);
textView.setTextColor(Color.WHITE);
回答3:
This works for me.
SearchView searchView = (SearchView) findViewById(R.id.search);
EditText searchEditText = (EditText) searchView.findViewById(android.support.v7.appcompat.R.id.search_src_text);
searchEditText.setTextColor(getResources().getColor(R.color.white));
searchEditText.setHintTextColor(getResources().getColor(R.color.white));
回答4:
I wanted to do something similar. I finally had to find the TextView among the SearchView children:
for (TextView textView : findChildrenByClass(searchView, TextView.class)) {
textView.setTextColor(Color.WHITE);
}
If you want the util method:
public static <V extends View> Collection<V> findChildrenByClass(ViewGroup viewGroup, Class<V> clazz) {
return gatherChildrenByClass(viewGroup, clazz, new ArrayList<V>());
}
private static <V extends View> Collection<V> gatherChildrenByClass(ViewGroup viewGroup, Class<V> clazz, Collection<V> childrenFound) {
for (int i = 0; i < viewGroup.getChildCount(); i++)
{
final View child = viewGroup.getChildAt(i);
if (clazz.isAssignableFrom(child.getClass())) {
childrenFound.add((V)child);
}
if (child instanceof ViewGroup) {
gatherChildrenByClass((ViewGroup) child, clazz, childrenFound);
}
}
return childrenFound;
}

This is best achieved through custom styles. Overload the action bar widget style with your own custom style. For holo light with dark action bar, put this in your own styles file such as res/values/styles_mytheme.xml:
<style name="Theme.MyTheme" parent="@android:style/Theme.Holo.Light.DarkActionBar">
<item name="android:actionBarWidgetTheme">@style/Theme.MyTheme.Widget</item>
<!-- your other custom styles -->
</style>
<style name="Theme.MyTheme.Widget" parent="@android:style/Theme.Holo">
<item name="android:textColorHint">@android:color/white</item>
<!-- your other custom widget styles -->
</style>
Make sure your application is using theme custom theme as described in enter link description here

Thanks to @CzarMatt I added AndroidX support.
For me the following works. I used a code from a link: Change text color of search hint in actionbar using support library.
searchView = (SearchView) menu.findItem(R.id.action_search).getActionView();
EditText txtSearch = ((EditText)searchView.findViewById(androidx.appcompat.R.id.search_src_text));
txtSearch.setHint(getResources().getString(R.string.search_hint));
txtSearch.setHintTextColor(Color.LTGRAY);
txtSearch.setTextColor(Color.WHITE);
Changing action bar searchview hint text color advices another solution. It works but sets only hint text and color.
searchView.setQueryHint(Html.fromHtml("<font color = #ffffff>" + getResources().getString(R.string.search_hint) + "</font>"));
回答7:
You can do so by setting the editTextColor attribute in the style.
<style name="SearchViewStyle" parent="Some.Relevant.Parent">
<item name="android:editTextColor">@color/some_color</item>
</style>
and you apply this style to Toolbar or the SearchView in the layout.
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
android:theme="@style/SearchViewStyle">
<android.support.v7.widget.SearchView />
</android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar>
回答8:
if you use - android.support.v7.widget.SearchView
SearchView searchView = (SearchView) item.getActionView();
EditText editText = (EditText) searchView.findViewById(android.support.v7.appcompat.R.id.search_src_text);
editText.setTextColor(Color.WHITE);

Create a Style for your Toolbar
<style name="AppTheme.Toolbar" parent="ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.ActionBar">
<item name="android:editTextColor">@color/some_color</item>
</style>
And set it as the theme for the Toolbar
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
android:theme="@style/AppTheme.Toolbar"
...
回答10:
If you're using the android.support.v7.widget.SearchView, it's possible without having to use reflection.
Here's how I'm doing it in my app:
EditText text = (EditText) searchView.findViewById(android.support.v7.appcompat.R.id.search_src_text);
ImageView searchCloseIcon = (ImageView) searchView.findViewById(android.support.v7.appcompat.R.id.search_close_btn);
View searchPlate = searchView.findViewById(android.support.v7.appcompat.R.id.search_plate);
if (searchPlate != null) {
searchPlate.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.search_background);
}
if (text != null){
text.setTextColor(resources.getColor(R.color.white));
text.setHintTextColor(getResources().getColor(R.color.white));
SpannableStringBuilder magHint = new SpannableStringBuilder(" ");
magHint.append(resources.getString(R.string.search));
Drawable searchIcon = getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.ic_action_view_search);
int textSize = (int) (text.getTextSize() * 1.5);
searchIcon.setBounds(0, 0, textSize, textSize);
magHint.setSpan(new ImageSpan(searchIcon), 0, 1, Spannable.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);
// Set the new hint text
text.setHint(magHint);
}
if (searchCloseIcon != null){
searchCloseIcon.setImageDrawable(getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.ic_action_close));
}
They don't expose the ids publicly for the non appcompat SearchView, but they do for AppCompat if you know where to look. :)
回答11:
I had this problem, and this works for me.
@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.customer_menu, menu);
SearchManager searchManager = (SearchManager) getSystemService(Context.SEARCH_SERVICE);
SearchView searchView = (SearchView) menu.findItem(R.id.menu_customer_search).getActionView();
searchView.setSearchableInfo(searchManager.getSearchableInfo(getComponentName()));
searchView.setOnQueryTextListener(this);
//Applies white color on searchview text
int id = searchView.getContext().getResources().getIdentifier("android:id/search_src_text", null, null);
TextView textView = (TextView) searchView.findViewById(id);
textView.setTextColor(Color.WHITE);
return true;
}
回答12:
Yes it is possible using following method.
public static EditText setHintEditText(EditText argEditText, String argHintMessage, boolean argIsRequire) {
try {
if (argIsRequire) {
argHintMessage = " " + argHintMessage;
//String text = "<font color=#8c8c8c>"+argHintMessage+"</font> <font color=#cc0029>*</font>";
String text = "<font color=#8c8c8c>" + argHintMessage + "</font>";
argEditText.setHint(Html.fromHtml(text));
} else {
argEditText.setHint(argHintMessage);
}
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return argEditText;
}
Calling of this method look like this..
metLoginUserName=(EditText)this.findViewById(R.id.etLoginUserName);
metLoginPassword=(EditText)this.findViewById(R.id.etLoginPassword);
/**Set the hint in username and password edittext*/
metLoginUserName=HotSpotStaticMethod.setHintEditText(metLoginUserName, getString(R.string.hint_username),true);
metLoginPassword=HotSpotStaticMethod.setHintEditText(metLoginPassword, getString(R.string.hint_password),true);
using it i have successfully add red color * mark in hint using this method. You should change this method according to your requirement. I hope its helpful to you ....:)

If you base your app theme on the holo theme you will get a white instead of a black text in your SearchView
<style name="Theme.MyTheme" parent="android:Theme.Holo">
I did not find any other way to change the textcolor of the searchview without using dirty hacks.
回答14:
Use this one, it's right. :D
AutoCompleteTextView searchText = (AutoCompleteTextView) searchView.findViewById(R.id.abs__search_src_text);
searchText.setHintTextColor(getResources().getColor(color.black));
searchText.setTextColor(getResources().getColor(color.black));
回答15:
this is working for me.
final SearchView searchView = (SearchView) MenuItemCompat.getActionView(item);
searchView.setOnQueryTextListener(this);
searchEditText = (EditText) searchView.findViewById(android.support.v7.appcompat.R.id.search_src_text);
searchEditText.setTextColor(getResources().getColor(R.color.white));
searchEditText.setHintTextColor(getResources().getColor(R.color.white));
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.JELLY_BEAN)
{
searchEditText.setBackgroundColor(getResources().getColor(R.color.c_trasnparent));
searchEditText.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER);
searchEditText.setCompoundDrawables(null,null,R.drawable.ic_cross,null);
}
回答16:
Most cleanest way is:
Toolbar uses theme ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.Actionbar.
Now make child of it like:
toolbarStyle parent "ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.Actionbar"
add this item in that style
item name "android:editTextColor">yourcolor
Done.
One more very important thing is, in toolbar put the layout_height ="?attr/actionbarSize". By default it is wrap_content.For me text was not even visible in searchview it fixed that problem.
回答17:
Yes we can,
SearchView searchView = (SearchView) findViewById(R.id.sv_symbol);
To apply the white color for the SerachView Text,
int id = searchView.getContext().getResources().getIdentifier("android:id/search_src_text", null, null);
TextView textView = (TextView) searchView.findViewById(id);
textView.setTextColor(Color.WHITE);
Happy coding !!!!

Change color of typed text:
((EditText)((SearchView)findViewById(R.id.searchView)).findViewById(((SearchView)findViewById(R.id.searchView)).getContext().getResources().getIdentifier("android:id/search_src_text", null, null))).setTextColor(Color.WHITE);
Change color of hint text:
((EditText)((SearchView)findViewById(R.id.searchView)).findViewById(((SearchView)findViewById(R.id.searchView)).getContext().getResources().getIdentifier("android:id/search_src_text", null, null))).setHintTextColor(Color.LTGRAY);

回答20:
A SearchView object extends from LinearLayout, so it holds other views. The trick is to find the view holding the hint text and change the colour programmatically. The problem with trying to find the view by id is that the id is dependent from the theme used in the application. So depending on the theme used, the findViewById(int id) method might return null. A better approach that works with every theme is to traverse the view hierarchy and find the widget containing the hint text:
// get your SearchView with its id
SearchView searchView = (SearchView) menu.findItem(R.id.search).getActionView();
// traverse the view to the widget containing the hint text
LinearLayout ll = (LinearLayout)searchView.getChildAt(0);
LinearLayout ll2 = (LinearLayout)ll.getChildAt(2);
LinearLayout ll3 = (LinearLayout)ll2.getChildAt(1);
SearchView.SearchAutoComplete autoComplete = (SearchView.SearchAutoComplete)ll3.getChildAt(0);
// set the hint text color
autoComplete.setHintTextColor(getResources().getColor(Color.WHITE));
// set the text color
autoComplete.setTextColor(Color.BLUE);
Using this method, you can also change the look of other widgets in the SearchView hierarchy, such as the EditText holding the search query. Unless Google decides to change the view hierarchy of a SearchView shortly, you should be able to change the appearance of the widget with this method for some time.

It is possible to customize searchview by using appcompat v7 library.I used appcompat v7 library and defined custom style for it. In drawable folder put bottom_border.xml file which looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
<item>
<shape >
<solid android:color="@color/blue_color" />
</shape>
</item>
<item android:bottom="0.8dp"
android:left="0.8dp"
android:right="0.8dp">
<shape >
<solid android:color="@color/background_color" />
</shape>
</item>
<!-- draw another block to cut-off the left and right bars -->
<item android:bottom="2.0dp">
<shape >
<solid android:color="@color/main_accent" />
</shape>
</item>
</layer-list>
In values folder styles_myactionbartheme.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
<style name="AppnewTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light">
<item name="android:windowBackground">@color/background</item>
<item name="android:actionBarStyle">@style/ActionBar</item>
<item name="android:actionBarWidgetTheme">@style/ActionBarWidget</item>
</style>
<!-- Actionbar Theme -->
<style name="ActionBar" parent="Widget.AppCompat.Light.ActionBar.Solid.Inverse">
<item name="android:background">@color/main_accent</item>
<!-- <item name="android:icon">@drawable/abc_ic_ab_back_holo_light</item> -->
</style>
<style name="ActionBarWidget" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light">
<!-- SearchView customization-->
<!-- Changing the small search icon when the view is expanded -->
<!-- <item name="searchViewSearchIcon">@drawable/ic_action_search</item> -->
<!-- Changing the cross icon to erase typed text -->
<!-- <item name="searchViewCloseIcon">@drawable/ic_action_remove</item> -->
<!-- Styling the background of the text field, i.e. blue bracket -->
<item name="searchViewTextField">@drawable/bottom_border</item>

<!-- <item name="android:textCursorDrawable">@null</item> -->
<!-- <item name="android:textColorHighlight">@color/search_view_selected_text</item> -->

</resources>
I defined custommenu.xml file for displaying menu:
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:com.example.actionbartheme="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto" >
<item android:id="@+id/search"
android:title="@string/search_title"
android:icon="@drawable/search_buttonn"
com.example.actionbartheme:showAsAction="ifRoom|collapseActionView"
com.example.actionbartheme:actionViewClass="android.support.v7.widget.SearchView"/>
</menu>
Your activity should extend ActionBarActivity instead of Activity. Here is onCreateOptionsMenu method.
@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu)
{
// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater();
inflater.inflate(R.menu.custommenu, menu);
}
In manifest file:
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
android:label="@string/app_name"
android:theme="@style/AppnewTheme" >

for appcompat-v7 Toolbar with searchView (provided via MenuItemCompat):
Setting the Toolbar theme to @style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light will yield dark color (black) for the hint text and for the entered text, but won't affect the cursor* color. Accordingly, setting the Toolbar theme to @style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark will yield light color (white) for the hint text and the entered text, the cursor* will be white anyway.
Customising the above themes:
android:textColorPrimary --> color of the entered text
editTextColor --> color of the entered text (will override the affect of android:textColorPrimary if set)
android:textColorHint --> color of the hint
*note: Am yet to determine how the Cursor color can be controlled (without using the reflection solution).

回答29:
change searchView style in toolbar with androidx.
firstly,set search view style in your toolbar Style (change parent them with your own app base them):
<!-- toolbar style -->
<style name="ToolbarStyle" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
<!-- search view about -->
<item name="android:editTextColor">@color/colorWhitePrimaryText</item>
<item name="android:textColorHint">@color/colorWhiteSecondaryText</item>
<item name="android:textCursorDrawable">@drawable/drawable_cursor_white</item>
<item name="closeIcon">@mipmap/ic_close</item>
<item name="searchHintIcon">@mipmap/ic_search_white</item>
<item name="searchIcon">@mipmap/ic_search_white</item>
<item name="android:longClickable">false</item>
<item name="android:queryHint">@string/toolbar_search</item>
</style>
then, use it in your toolbar layout:
android:theme="@style/ToolbarStyle"
with this, you can change most style of searchView except for query hint.
finally set query hint at your toolbar menu's options:
toolbar.setOnMenuItemClickListener(item -> {
switch (item.getItemId()){
case R.id.toolbar_search:
SearchView searchView = (SearchView) item.getActionView();
searchView.setQueryHint("default query");
searchView.setOnQueryTextListener(new SearchView.OnQueryTextListener() {
@Override
public boolean onQueryTextSubmit(String query) {
return false;
}
@Override
public boolean onQueryTextChange(String newText) {
return false;
}
});
return true;
default:
return false;
}
