How to disable searchview?

Question

Can you help me on how to disable searchview when button is pressed? I\'m trying this code:

searchView.setEnabled(false);
                searchView.setFocu         


        

Answer 1

SearchView isn't the actual EditText you type into, but rather is a LinearLayout which holds a bunch of views, including the EditText.

To get the view you actually want for disabling it:

EditText searchViewEditText = (EditText) searchView.findViewById(R.id.search_src_text);

Note, this only works if you're using support v7 SearchView, since the particular resource id is internal if you use the framework SearchView.
