SearchView.OnCloseListener does not get invoked

Question

Im using an action bar and adding a searchView to it. I have implemented the searchView.onCLoseListener but this does not seem to be getting invoked. Any suggestions ?

Answer 1

In order call onClose() method from SearchView.OnCloseListener. I made it working in the following way. Add this to your searchview

searchView.setIconifiedByDefault(true);
searchView.setOnCloseListener(this);

---

Now implement this onclick listener

  searchView.findViewById(R.id.search_close_btn)
                .setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
                    @Override
                public void onClick(View v) {
                    Log.d("called","this is called.");
                    searchView.setQuery("",false);
                    searchView.setIconified(true);

                }
            });

This worked for me. Sharing so that it can help somebody else also. Thanks
