In your onCreate method you can use:
onCreate method:
// enabling action bar app icon and behaving it as toggle button
getActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
getActionBar().setHomeButtonEnabled(true);
handleIntent(getIntent());
OnCreateOptionsMenu:
@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.feed, menu);
// Associate searchable configuration with the SearchView
SearchManager searchManager = (SearchManager) getSystemService(Context.SEARCH_SERVICE);
SearchView searchView = (SearchView) menu.findItem(R.id.action_search)
.getActionView();
searchView.setSearchableInfo(searchManager
.getSearchableInfo(getComponentName()));
return true;
}
Menu:
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
tools:context="br.com.srtorcedor.FeedActivity">
<item android:id="@+id/action_search"
android:icon="@drawable/abc_ic_search"
android:title="@string/search_title"
android:showAsAction="always"
android:actionViewClass="android.widget.SearchView"/>
</menu>
Searchable.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<searchable xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:label="@string/app_label"
android:hint="@string/search_hint" >
</searchable>
In the fragment, you need to put the following methods:
private void handleIntent(Intent intent) {
if (Intent.ACTION_SEARCH.equals(intent.getAction())) {
String query = intent.getStringExtra(SearchManager.QUERY);
doSearch(query);
}
}
public void onNewIntent(Intent intent) {
setIntent(intent);
handleIntent(intent);
}
private void doSearch(String queryStr) {
Log.i("Your search: ",queryStr);
}
Doing it, you will see the search widget on the action bar. I hope it can work with y'all.
