Onquerytextlistenercompat Not Getting Triggered

I'm trying to make an app that uses SearchView compatible with devices running Android version 2.3 up to 4.4+. I currently have the following code inside an ActionBarActivity, whic

Solution 1:

I've solved this problem by not using SearchViewCompat I tested it's compatability from Gingerbread and to the latest version

in my search_menu.xml

<menuxmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"xmlns:yourapp="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" ><itemandroid:id="@+id/menu_item_search"android:icon="@android:drawable/ic_menu_search"android:orderInCategory="1"android:title="@string/menu_search"yourapp:actionViewClass="android.support.v7.widget.SearchView"yourapp:showAsAction="always|collapseActionView"/></menu>

and in my Main.xml

publicclassMainextendsActionBarActivityimplementsOnQueryTextListener {
    privateSearchView searchView;
    privateSearchManager searchManager;
        protectedvoidonCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        supportRequestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_INDETERMINATE_PROGRESS);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
    }


     @OverridepublicbooleanonCreateOptionsMenu(final Menu menu) {
                // Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.search_menu, menu);
                View view = MenuItemCompat.getActionView(menu.findItem(R.id.menu_item_filter)); 
    searchManager = (SearchManager) getSystemService(Context.SEARCH_SERVICE);
                MenuItem searchItem = menu.findItem(R.id.menu_item_search);
                searchView = (SearchView) MenuItemCompat.getActionView(searchItem);
                searchView.setSearchableInfo(searchManager.getSearchableInfo(getComponentName()));
                searchView.setQueryHint("Search...");
                searchView.setIconifiedByDefault(false); 
                searchView.setIconified(false);
                searchView.setOnQueryTextListener(Main.this);
                searchView.clearFocus();
                returnsuper.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
    }
    publicbooleanonQueryTextChange(String val) {

        if(!val.isEmpty()){
            Log.e(""+val);
        }
        returnfalse;
    }

    @OverridepublicbooleanonQueryTextSubmit(String val) {  
        Log.e(""+val);
        returnfalse;
    }
}
