SearchView's onClose listener never runs

Question

Got a SearchView (androidx, not support lib)

I have added its proper listeners like:

@Override
    public boolean onQueryTextSubmit(String query) {
       Toaster.show(this, "onQueryTextSubmit!");
        return true;
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onQueryTextChange(String query) {
       Toaster.show(this, "onQueryTextChange!");
        return true;
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onClose() {
       Toaster.show(this, "onClose!");
       return true;
}

Both onQueryTextSubmit and onQueryTextChange works well. However, when I click on the small X on the right side of the SearchView, the search view does get cleared, but the onClose listener never runs.

In the official docs it says about setOnCloseListener the following:

"Sets a listener to inform when the user closes the SearchView."

I think I use this properly, yet it is not triggered.

Any ideas?

Weird thing is in my project `searchview.setOnCloseListener` works. — Payam Asefi, Jun 13 '19 at 12:40
make sure you have register `setOnCloseListener()` to your searchview like this `searchview.setOnCloseListener(this)` — AskNilesh, Jun 13 '19 at 12:45

Ended up:

   View searchViewsCloseBtn = searchView.findViewById(R.id.search_close_btn);
        searchViewsCloseBtn.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
              Toaster.show(myContext, "I hate this platform.");
            }
        });

"R.id.search_close_btn" is the actual reference to the SearchView's close btn.

If you manually set an onClickListener it works.
