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

If you have set the

searchView.setIconifiedByDefault(false)

then, your searchView never closes as it is always in expanded mode. This is the reason why your onClose() is not being invoked.
