Android support library - SearchView on toolbar doesn't call onSearchRequested
During the changes from Holo to Material using the google support library, I found that the onSearchRequested
callback Activity is not being called. Both operations, the one that starts the search ( ProjectDetail
) and the one that is the target of the search ( ResultList
), are expanded android.support.v7.app.ActionBarActivity
.
The search works, but it never reaches the callback onSearchRequested
, so I cannot set additional parameters for the search.
There are many similar questions, but none of the solutions have worked so far, so I am asking here. I've been struggling with this for hours and maybe I'm missing something terribly obvious as despair obscures my vision :) Enough please help!
Fragment shape Manifest
:
<application>
<meta-data
android:name="android.app.default_searchable"
android:value=".ResultList" />
<activity android:name="my.package.ProjectDetail">
<meta-data
android:name="android.app.default_searchable"
android:value=".ResultList"/>
</activity>
<activity android:name="my.package.ResultList" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.SEARCH" />
</intent-filter>
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="com.google.android.gms.actions.SEARCH_ACTION" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
</intent-filter>
<meta-data android:name="android.app.searchable" android:resource="@xml/searchable" />
</activity>
</application>
This is the value onCreateOptionsMenu
in action that triggers the search:
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.search, menu);
MenuItem searchItem = menu.findItem(R.id.menu_search);
SearchView searchView = (SearchView) MenuItemCompat.getActionView(searchItem);
SearchManager searchManager = (SearchManager) getSystemService(Context.SEARCH_SERVICE);
SearchableInfo info = searchManager.getSearchableInfo(getComponentName());
searchView.setSearchableInfo(info);
searchView.setIconifiedByDefault(true);
searchView.setQueryRefinementEnabled(true);
searchView.setQueryHint(getString(R.string.search_hint));
This is search.xml
overstated in the previous snippet, containing a MenuItem and an ActionView:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto">
<item android:id="@+id/menu_search"
android:title="@string/m_search"
android:icon="@android:drawable/ic_menu_search"
app:showAsAction="ifRoom|collapseActionView"
app:actionViewClass="android.support.v7.widget.SearchView" />
</menu>
And this is the onSearchRequested
callback to ProjectDetail
Activity:
@Override
public boolean onSearchRequested() {
L.dd("SEARCH", "REQUESTED IN PROJECT");
Bundle searchData = new Bundle();
searchData.putLong(Const.EXTRA_PROJECT_ID, projectId);
searchData.putLong(Const.EXTRA_ACCOUNT_ID, accountId);
startSearch(null, false, searchData, false);
return true;
}
Finally, this is searchable.xml
as stated in the manifest:
<?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"
android:searchSuggestAuthority="my.package.provider.SearchSuggestionsProvider"
android:searchSuggestSelection=" ?"
android:includeInGlobalSearch="true"
/>
Thanks in advance.

I had the same problem. Found one simple solution here . Generally speaking, you override a method startActivity
in a search activity and put parameters into an intent when the activity is equal to Intent.ACTION_SEARCH:
@Override
public void startActivity(Intent intent) {
// check if search intent
if (Intent.ACTION_SEARCH.equals(intent.getAction())) {
intent.putExtra("KEY", "VALUE");
}
super.startActivity(intent);
}
And then in the search operation, pass parameters like this:
private void handleIntent(Intent intent){
if (Intent.ACTION_SEARCH.equals(intent.getAction())){
mSearchedQuery = intent.getStringExtra(SearchManager.QUERY);
mExtraData = intent.getStringExtra("KEY");
}
