Adding SearchView in Fragment

Question

Trying to include a searchview in actionbar. For this, I have done the following:

Created MenuSearch.xml in the menu folder as given below:

Answer 1

Your search_options_menu.xml should look like this:

Override onCreateOptionMenu method in your fragment setHasOptionsMenu(true); inside onCreate() on your fragment.

@Override
    public void onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu, MenuInflater inflater) {
        super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu, inflater);
       menu.clear();
        inflater.inflate(R.menu.search_option_menu, menu);
        MenuItem item = menu.findItem(R.id.action_search);
                SearchView searchView = (SearchView) MenuItemCompat.getActionView(menuItem);
        MenuItemCompat.setShowAsAction(item, MenuItemCompat.SHOW_AS_ACTION_COLLAPSE_ACTION_VIEW | MenuItemCompat.SHOW_AS_ACTION_IF_ROOM);
        MenuItemCompat.setActionView(item, searchView);
        searchView.setOnQueryTextListener(new SearchView.OnQueryTextListener() {
            @Override
            public boolean onQueryTextSubmit(String query) {
                return false;
            }
            @Override
            public boolean onQueryTextChange(String newText) {
                    //Do search code here
                return true;
            }
        });

    }
