How To Handle Back Arrow Event In A Searchview

How can I handle the click event on the back arrow in the searchview widget: I tried this code but it doesn't work: searchtollbar.setNavigationOnClickListener(new View.OnClickList

Solution 1:

To handle that you have to override onOptionsItemSelected method.

@OverridepublicbooleanonOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
        // Handle item selectionswitch (item.getItemId()) {
            case android.R.id.home:
                // handle back event.returntrue;

            default:
                returnsuper.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
        }
    }

Solution 2:

Try with

MenuItem item = menu.findItem(R.id.action_search);

SearchView searchView = newSearchView(((MainActivity) mContext).getSupportActionBar().getThemedContext());
    item.setOnActionExpandListener(newMenuItem.OnActionExpandListener() {
        @OverridepublicbooleanonMenuItemActionExpand(MenuItem menuItem) {
            Log.d( TAG, "expand" );
            returntrue;
        }

        @OverridepublicbooleanonMenuItemActionCollapse(MenuItem menuItem) {
            Log.d( TAG, "collapse" );
           

            returntrue;
        }
    });
