Menu item main.xml file :

This is Menu item. custom action bar like edittext in the action bar You have to create a custom layout. Here custom action_bar.xml file :

Then in the fragment class you to override. Just Copy and paste this code.

@Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setHasOptionsMenu(true);
    }

    @Override
    public void onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu, MenuInflater inflater) {
        // TODO Add your menu entries here
        super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu, inflater);
         getActivity().getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
         View v = (View) menu.findItem(R.id.menu_search).getActionView();
         inputSearch = (EditText)v.findViewById(R.id.inputSearch);

            inputSearch.addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher() {

                @Override
                public void afterTextChanged(Editable s) {
                    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                    // clientAdapter.getFilter().filter(s.toString());
                }

                @Override
                public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int count,
                        int after) {
                    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                    // ListData.this.clientAdapter.getFilter().filter(s);
                }

                @Override
                public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int before,
                        int count) {
                    // TODO Auto-generated method stub

                    adapter.getFilter().filter(s.toString());

                }

            });

    }
