Appcompat v21. How to collapse SearchView by BackButton

Question

With old appcompat we used SearchView in ActionBar and When I press Back Button I would collapse the SearchView.

But now I switched to Appcompat v21 and use ToolBar instead of it. But now SearchView does not collapse when I press Back button.

How can I solve this problem?

Best Regards.

I faced the same problem and I solved it as follow:
1- let your activity or fragment implements SearchView.OnFocusChangeListener
2- add mSearchView.setOnQueryTextFocusChangeListener(this);
3- add

@Override
 public void onFocusChange(View v, boolean hasFocus) {
    if(!hasFocus) {
         MenuItemCompat.collapseActionView(searchMenuItem);
    }
}

It works for me :)

You can overwrite the onBackPressed() Method:

  @Override
public void onBackPressed()
{
     super.onBackPressed();  // optional depending on your needs
     finish();
}

This should do the trick.
