MenuItemCompat.setOnActionExpandListener deprecate

Question

I have some code that sets a boolean if the search view is open or not.

MenuItemCompat.setOnActionExpandListener(action_search, new MenuItemCompat.OnActionExpandListener() {
            @Override
            public boolean onMenuItemActionExpand(MenuItem item){
                isSearch = true;
                return true;
            }
            @Override
            public boolean onMenuItemActionCollapse(MenuItem item){
                isSearch = false;
                return true;
            }
        });

It works. I'm happy with the way it responds. However, it it shows as deprecated, the setOnActionExpandListener is crossed out with the warning

android.support.v4.view.MenuItemCompat.setOnActionExpandListener is deprecated

Suggestions?

Answer 1

This interface was deprecated in API level 26.1.0.

Instead of MenuItemCompat.OnActionExpandListener

Use MenuItem.OnActionExpandListener directly.

Official Documentation

Sample:

  MenuItem menuItemSearch = menu.findItem(R.id.action_search);

     menuItemSearch.setOnActionExpandListener(new MenuItem.OnActionExpandListener() {
        @Override
        public boolean onMenuItemActionExpand(MenuItem menuItem) {
            isSearch = true;
            return true;
        }

        @Override
        public boolean onMenuItemActionCollapse(MenuItem menuItem) {
            isSearch = false;
            return true;
        }
    });

Bonus

setting OnQueryTextListener and OnCloseListener

    MenuItem menuItemSearch = menu.findItem(R.id.action_search);

  final SearchView searchView = (SearchView) menuItemSearch.getActionView();

     searchView.setOnQueryTextListener(new SearchView.OnQueryTextListener() {
        @Override
        public boolean onQueryTextSubmit(String s) {

          //Do something

            return false;
        }

        @Override
        public boolean onQueryTextChange(String s) {
            return false;
        }
    });

    searchView.setOnCloseListener(new SearchView.OnCloseListener() {
        @Override
        public boolean onClose() {

        // do something
            return false;
        }
    });

Use MenuItem.setOnActionExpandListener(MenuItem.OnActionExpandListener) directly.

SAMPLE CODE

MenuItem item = menu.findItem(R.id.action_order);
item.setOnActionExpandListener(new MenuItem.OnActionExpandListener() {
     @Override
      public boolean onMenuItemActionExpand(MenuItem menuItem) {
          isSearch = true;
          return true;
