Android SearchView.OnQueryTextListener OnQueryTextSubmit not fired on empty query string

Question

I am using Android 4.1.2. I have a SearchView widget on an ActionBar. Documentation on SearchView.OnQueryTextListener

Answer 1

ive an easier work around: use onQueryTextChange, but only render if its empty.

searchView.setOnQueryTextListener(new SearchView.OnQueryTextListener() {
            @Override
            public boolean onQueryTextSubmit(String query) {
                    renderList(true);
                    return false;
            }

            @Override
            public boolean onQueryTextChange(String newText) {
                    if (searchView.getQuery().length() == 0) {
                            renderList(true);
                    }
                    return false;
            }
    });
