I am using search view in my Flickr app but when I run, it just display the title of search view not it's search icon and when I click on the title it should display and area to type the search query but nothing happen it treat like a simple toolbar item
this is menu xml file
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<menu xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto">
<item
android:id="@+id/menu_item_search"
android:title="@string/search"
app:actionViewClass="android:support.v7.widget.searchView"
app:showAsAction="ifRoom"/>
<item android:id="@+id/menu_item_clear"
android:title="@string/clear_search"
app:showAsAction="never"/>
</menu>
and this is a picture of app in emulator
and when I refer to code and set a text listener for search view action view class it refer a null reference error
public void onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu, MenuInflater inflater) {
super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu, inflater);
inflater.inflate(R.menu.fragment_photo_gallery,menu);
MenuItem searchItem = menu.findItem(R.id.menu_item_search);
final SearchView searchView = (SearchView) searchItem.getActionView();
searchView.setOnQueryTextListener(new SearchView.OnQueryTextListener() {
@Override
public boolean onQueryTextSubmit(String s) {
Log.d(TAG,"QueryTextSubmit: "+s);
updateItems();
return true;
}
@Override
public boolean onQueryTextChange(String s) {
Log.d(TAG,"queryTextChanged: "+s);
return true;
}
});
}
and this is my logcat after crashing
