Question

How to build ActionBar with collapsible search view with single action item visible, when search view is expanded? To be more descriptive, this is what I need:

Answer 1

After considering the suggestions from comments, many googling and testing succeeded in obtaining the desired effect. I'm not proud of this solution but it works, it's not too complicated and should be enough for this case.

In resume what I did:

1. Placed SearchView with custom "add item" button in customView of ActionBar.
2. Removed collapseActionView and android:actionLayout from search item in menu.xml
3. Collapsing/expanding SearchView programmatically.

Some code to better understand what I did. Maybe this can be useful for someone.

menu.xml

// ... other menu items

actionbar_search.xml

MainActivity.java

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    // ...
    actionBar.setCustomView(R.layout.actionbar_search);
    actionBarCustomView = ab.getCustomView();
    searchView = ((SearchView) actionBarCustomView.findViewById(R.id.search_view));
    searchView.setOnCloseListener(new SearchView.OnCloseListener() {
        @Override
        public boolean onClose() {
            searchView.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
            return false;
        }
    });
}

@Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
    switch (item.getItemId()) {
        // ...
        case R.id.menu_search:
            if (searchView.getVisibility() == View.VISIBLE) {
                searchView.setIconified(true);
                searchView.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
            } else {
                searchView.setMaxWidth(abCustomView.getWidth() - addButton.getWidth());
                searchView.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
                searchView.setIconified(false);
            }
            break;
        // ...
    }
    return true;
}

@Override
public void onBackPressed() {

    if (searchView.getVisibility() == View.VISIBLE) {
        searchView.setIconified(true);
        searchView.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
        return;
    }

    // ...
}
