I am having a problem with implementing a SearchView that is driving me crazy. I have implemented a SearchView in the ActionBar following the method suggested in the answer for this question:
Implementing SearchView in action bar
I have modified the suggested code to my own needs, so the suggestions get filtered based on what is entered, and it works great, except that I cannot get an OnSuggestionListener to work!
Relevant parts of activity containing the SearchView Actionbar:
public class MyGroupsActivity extends ActionBarActivity {
private List<String> allItems;
private Menu menu;
private SearchView searchView;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_my_groups);
allItems = getAllItems();
}
@Override
@TargetApi(Build.VERSION_CODES.HONEYCOMB)
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.menu_my_groups, menu);
this.menu = menu;
// Associate searchable configuration with the SearchView
if(Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.HONEYCOMB) {
SearchManager manager = (SearchManager) getSystemService(Context.SEARCH_SERVICE);
searchView = (SearchView) menu.findItem(R.id.action_search).getActionView();
searchView.setSearchableInfo(manager.getSearchableInfo(getComponentName()));
searchView.setOnQueryTextListener(new SearchView.OnQueryTextListener() {
@Override
public boolean onQueryTextSubmit(String s) {
System.out.println("onQueryTextSubmit " + s);
return true;
}
@Override
public boolean onQueryTextChange(String query) {
loadHistory(query);
return true;
}
});
}
return true;
}
@TargetApi(Build.VERSION_CODES.HONEYCOMB)
private void loadHistory(String query) {
if(Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.HONEYCOMB) {
String[] columns = new String[] { "_id", "text" };
Object[] temp = new Object[] { 0, "default" };
MatrixCursor cursor = new MatrixCursor(columns);
List<String> result = new ArrayList<>();
for(int i = 0; i < allGroups.size(); i++) {
if(allItems.get(i).toLowerCase().contains(query.toLowerCase())){
temp[0] = i;
temp[1] = allItems.get(i);
cursor.addRow(temp);
result.add(allItems.get(i));
}
}
searchView.setSuggestionsAdapter(new SearchViewAdapter(this, cursor, result));
searchView.setOnSuggestionListener(new SearchView.OnSuggestionListener() {
@Override
public boolean onSuggestionSelect(int i) {
System.out.println("onSuggestionSelect");
Cursor cursor = (Cursor) searchView.getSuggestionsAdapter().getItem(i);
String feedName = cursor.getString(1);
searchView.setQuery(feedName, false);
searchView.clearFocus();
return true;
}
@Override
public boolean onSuggestionClick(int i) {
System.out.println("onSuggestionClick");
Cursor cursor = (Cursor) searchView.getSuggestionsAdapter().getItem(i);
String feedName = cursor.getString(1);
System.out.println(feedName + " clicked ");
searchView.setQuery(feedName, false);
searchView.clearFocus();
return true;
}
});
}
}
}
My CustomAdapter subclass:
public class SearchViewAdapter extends CursorAdapter {
private List<String> items;
private TextView text;
public SearchViewAdapter(Context context, Cursor cursor, List<String> items) {
super(context, cursor, false);
this.items = items;
}
@Override
public void bindView(View view, Context context, Cursor cursor) {
text.setText(items.get(cursor.getPosition()));
}
@Override
public View newView(Context context, Cursor cursor, ViewGroup parent) {
LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater) context.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.search_item, parent, false);
text = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.textView);
return view;
}
}
And my search_item.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:clickable="true"
android:focusable="true"
android:id="@+id/textView"
android:layout_margin="5dp"
android:textColor="@color/accent" />
</RelativeLayout>
I have tried with OnClickListener instead, I have tried putting it in the bindView method of the CustomAdapter, I have tried instantiating the adapter in onCreate, and so many other things that I cannot even remember them all now.. Nothing seems to work. All I get in the logcat when I click an item in the suggestion list is:
D/ViewRootImpl﹕ ViewPostImeInputStage ACTION_DOWN
So, to put it clear - how do I detect a click on a suggestion and fetch the value of the item?
Any help and comments on this are very much appreciated! Thanks!
