This is how I navigate through my app:
- Open fragment with list
- Filter list by a text entered in searchview
- Tap on listitem (list fragment gets replaced by detail fragment)
- Navigate back (detail fragment gets replaced by list fragment)
When I navigate from list- to detail-fragment, I want to keep the current filter of the searchview in a string variable. I store the value of the searchview when onQueryTextChange is executed.
The problem:
I can't store the actual filter-value because onQueryTextChange gets called when I navigate from list to detail because something cleared the text of the searchview.
// ...
searchView.setOnQueryTextListener(new SearchView.OnQueryTextListener() {
@Override
public boolean onQueryTextSubmit(String s) {
return false;
}
@Override
public boolean onQueryTextChange(String s) {
searchReceived(s);
return true;
}
});
// ...
public void searchReceived(String searchQuery)
{
this.stateHolder.searchQuery = searchQuery;
// more code...
}
When I want to restore the filter when navigating back, it just filters with an empty string because the wrong value got stored in this.stateHolder.searchQuery
.
Stack:
onQueryTextChange():139, EmployeeListFragment$1 {com.example.exampleapp.fragment}
onTextChanged():1153, SearchView {android.widget}
access$2000():92, SearchView {android.widget}

doInvalidatePanelMenu():789, PhoneWindow {com.android.internal.policy.impl}
run():221, PhoneWindow$1 {com.android.internal.policy.impl}
How can I prevent the searchview from being cleared by the system when navigating?
Thanks.
After 2 days of Googling i got the solution that will definitely helps you.
I have just cut and pasted
code from onCreateOptionMenu()
to onPrepareOptionMenu()
I do not know why it happens, I think listener of searchView
is not going to be NULL
by the way you can change your code this way.
@Override
public void onPrepareOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
super.onPrepareOptionsMenu(menu);
getSherlockActivity().getSupportMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.menu_all_order, menu);
searchView = (SearchView) menu.findItem(R.id.menu_all_order_search).getActionView();
searchView.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_NUMBER);
searchView.setQueryHint("Enter Order No");
searchView.setOnQueryTextListener(this);
}
and Remove:
@Override
public void onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu, MenuInflater inflater) {
super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu, inflater);
}
Thanks :)
I see you didn't find a solution yet, I have same problem posted here:
I found that when invalidateOptionsMenu
is called also the method onQueryTextChange
is called because the View launch dispatchRestoreInstanceState
with the previous value after you've cleared the search for example. Do you call invalidateOptionsMenu
maybe?
Maybe, inside onQueryTextChange
, you can check a boolean on some current state of your application objects to know if the method content should be executed. In my case I use mDrawerLayout.isDrawerOpen(..)
to allow the search.
Also you can implement the SearchView.OnQueryTextListener
on each Class you use, on a Fragment
or on the Main Activity class, somewhere in the class you could set a boolean module variable that you will check inside onQueryTextChange.
The problem is ActionBar (and subcomponents) are collapsed when the fragment holding it is replaced. When this happens the SearchView query is cleared as seen in onActionViewCollapsed. Workarounds include:
Prevent collapsing
Remove setShowAsAction(MenuItem.SHOW_AS_ACTION_COLLAPSE_ACTION_VIEW);
from the searchview's creation code or android:showAsAction="collapseActionView"
from its xml code.
This will affect how/when the view's close/voicesearch buttons are displayed upon attempting to collapse it
It would also be possible to prevent collapsing by overriding SearchView's onActionViewCollapsed() method to do nothing but would accomplish the same.
Ignore query changes when appropriate
When the fragment is not valid (being replaced) then ignore query changes that would otherwise cause the fragment to alter its saved query text or layout (changing the layout would cause an exception if the fragment doesn't actually have view content).
public boolean onQueryTextChange(String newText) {
if (!isVisible()) {
// The fragment was replaced so ignore
return true;
}
// Text was actually changed, perform search
return true;
}
This would be the better option as it doesn't affect the functionality of the searchview.
I modified the menu item attribute showAsAction
from android:showAsAction="always|collapseActionView"
to android:showAsAction="always"
. Now the look and behavior of the searchview has changed a bit, but the searchQuery doesn't get cleared!
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item
android:id="@+id/actionSearch"
android:icon="@android:drawable/ic_menu_search"
android:actionViewClass="android.widget.SearchView"
android:showAsAction="always"
android:title="@android:string/search_go"
/>
</menu>
This is my solution:
@Override
public boolean onQueryTextChange(final String newText) {
if (searchTF.isIconified())
return false;
// put the "real" onQueryTextChange actions here
return true;
}
