I've created a search view using search widget, and when I open and search it works normally, the problem is when I go to any activity, including the searchview activity, and back using backbutton or finish() the activity, the search widget stops working. I mean, I still can type on widget, but the button to search(return) stops working, the searchable activity doesn't open anymore.
In the HomeActivity.java(main) I set up the search widget:
@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.menu_home_settings, menu);
// Get the SearchView and set the searchable configuration
SearchManager searchManager = (SearchManager) getSystemService(Context.SEARCH_SERVICE);
SearchView searchView = (SearchView) menu.findItem(R.id.action_search).getActionView();
// Assumes current activity is the searchable activity
searchView.setSearchableInfo(searchManager.getSearchableInfo(getComponentName()));
searchView.setIconifiedByDefault(false); // Do not iconify the widget; expand it by default
// Change Text color from search bar
final EditText searchEditText = (EditText) searchView.findViewById(android.support.v7.appcompat.R.id.search_src_text);
searchEditText.setImeOptions(DEFAULT_KEYS_SEARCH_LOCAL);
return true;
}
in Searchable.java
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_searchable);
Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.app_bar);
setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
if(getSupportActionBar() != null && toolbar != null) {
getSupportActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
toolbar.setTitle("");
}
.
.
.
@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.menu_search, menu);
// Get the SearchView and set the searchable configuration
SearchManager searchManager = (SearchManager) getSystemService(Context.SEARCH_SERVICE);
SearchView searchView = (SearchView) menu.findItem(R.id.action_search).getActionView();
// Assumes current activity is the searchable activity
searchView.setSearchableInfo(searchManager.getSearchableInfo(getComponentName()));
searchView.setIconifiedByDefault(false);
final EditText searchEditText = (EditText) searchView.findViewById(android.support.v7.appcompat.R.id.search_src_text);
searchEditText.setImeOptions(DEFAULT_KEYS_SEARCH_LOCAL);
return true;
}
@Override
protected void onNewIntent(Intent intent) {
setIntent( intent );
handleSearch( getIntent() );
}
public void handleSearch(Intent intent){
if( Intent.ACTION_SEARCH.equalsIgnoreCase( intent.getAction() )){
String query = intent.getStringExtra(SearchManager.QUERY);
setTitle(query);
executeSearchShow(query);
}
}
So as I said, using backButton to back or calling finish() on activity the searchview widget stops working, but if I use homeUpButton it works normally.
I've override onBackPressed in Searchable activity and it works, but if I back from another activity(that I need to finish) to home the widget still stopping to work.
@Override
public void onBackPressed() {
onNavigateUp();
}
AndroidManifest.xml :
