I'm trying to implement an animated searchview (with a simple extend/collapse animation) but all the answers in this forum are not working.
<item
android:id="@+id/action_search"
android:orderInCategory="100"
android:title="@string/action_search"
app:actionViewClass="android.support.v7.widget.SearchView"
android:icon="@drawable/ic_search_white_48px"
app:showAsAction="always"/>
what i've done
@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
SearchView searchView = (SearchView) menu.findItem(R.id.action_search).getActionView();
//Get the ID for the search bar LinearLayout
int searchBarId = searchView.getContext().getResources().getIdentifier("android:id/search_bar", null, null);
//Get the search bar Linearlayout
LinearLayout searchBar = (LinearLayout)
searchView.findViewById(searchBarId);
//Give the Linearlayout a transition animation.
searchBar.setLayoutTransition(new LayoutTransition());
return true;
}
all the error:
