getActionView is deprecated?

Question

Today I decide to translate my android app from Java to Kotlin ! :) But I was very surprise when I type this :

val searchItem = menu.findItem(R.id.action_sea         


        

Answer 1

The Javadoc says:

Use getActionView() directly.

Hence, what you should do is:

val searchView = searchItem.getActionView() as SearchView
