I am adding Search functionality to Action Bar in a SherlockListActivity however, when I try to instantiate SearchView its always null:
@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
getSupportMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.activity_main_menu, menu);
SearchView searchView = (SearchView) menu.findItem(R.id.activity_main_menu_search).getActionView();
searchView.setOnQueryTextListener(new SearchView.OnQueryTextListener(){
public boolean onQueryTextSubmit(String p1){
List<Application> auxList = Search.search(mContext, p1);
AdapterApp aux = new AdapterApp(mContext, auxList);
setListAdapter(aux);
getListView().setOnItemClickListener(aux.getItemClickListener());
return true;
}
public boolean onQueryTextChange(String p1){
return false;
}
});
return super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
}
activity_main_menu.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:id="@+id/activity_main_menu_search"
android:title="@string/search"
android:icon="@android:drawable/ic_menu_search"
android:showAsAction="ifRoom|collapseActionView"
android:actionViewClass="com.actionbarsherlock.widget.SearchView " />
<item android:id="@+id/activity_main_menu_purchase"
android:title="@string/purchase"
android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher_market_holo"
android:showAsAction="ifRoom|collapseActionView" />
</menu>
Also I have to say that I have correctly imported required classes:
import com.actionbarsherlock.app.ActionBar;
import com.actionbarsherlock.app.ActionBar.OnNavigationListener;
import com.actionbarsherlock.app.SherlockListActivity;
import com.actionbarsherlock.view.Menu;
import com.actionbarsherlock.view.MenuItem;
import com.actionbarsherlock.view.MenuItem.OnActionExpandListener;
import com.actionbarsherlock.widget.SearchView;
And this is stack trace. When SearchView is instantiated, log returns this:

Then, SearchView is null, so I get a NullPointerException when calling SearchView.setOnQueryTextListener();
