Today I decide to translate my android app from Java to Kotlin ! :) But I was very surprise when I type this :
val searchItem = menu.findItem(R.id.action_search)
val searchView = MenuItemCompat.getActionView(searchItem) as SearchView
And Android Studio told me : " 'getActionView(MenuItem!):View!' is deprecated. Deprecated in Java "
So before to ask you the solution I ask to Google what is the solution and I believed I find the solution : "Use getActionView() directly."
So I modified my code like this :
val searchView = MenuItemCompat.getActionView() as SearchView
But getActionView()
is still crossed so I don't understand at all...
I will be very happy if you can help me :) Thank you !
The Javadoc says:
Use getActionView() directly.
Hence, what you should do is:
val searchView = searchItem.getActionView() as SearchView
As suggested by egor, you can do like this
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.menu_items, menu);
MenuItem menuItem = menu.findItem(R.id.action_search);
SearchView searchView = (SearchView) menuItem.getActionView();
search(searchView);
return true;
You can use the same as provided on android developer website
@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// Inflate the options menu from XML
MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater();
inflater.inflate(R.menu.options_menu, menu);
// Get the SearchView and set the searchable configuration
SearchManager searchManager = (SearchManager) getSystemService(Context.SEARCH_SERVICE);
SearchView searchView = (SearchView) menu.findItem(R.id.menu_search).getActionView();
// Assumes current activity is the searchable activity
searchView.setSearchableInfo(searchManager.getSearchableInfo(getComponentName()));
searchView.setIconifiedByDefault(false); // Do not iconify the widget; expand it by default
return true;
}
Use actionView
directly in Kotlin, like this:
override fun onCreateOptionsMenu(menu: Menu?): Boolean {
menuInflater.inflate(R.menu.actions, menu)
val searchItem = menu?.findItem(R.id.action_search)
val searchView = searchItem?.actionView as SearchView
searchView.animate()
// TODO: Configure the search info and add any event listeners...
return super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu)
}
