How to completely collapse a SearchView after an item selected?

I've been struggling with this for weeks.. I have a global search that offers up a custom listview with suggestions as a user types. When a user selects an option, I want the searchview to return to its completely collapsed state.

Instead, it shrinks down but stays in a slightly expanded view.

I've thrown EVERYTHING I can find at this thing to close it, but cannot for the life of me get the right method. Here's the function:

    final SearchView.OnCloseListener closeListener = new SearchView.OnCloseListener() {            @Override          public boolean onClose() {              return closeSearch();          }      };        protected boolean closeSearch() {      _searchView.clearFocus();      _searchView.setQuery("", false);      _searchView.setFocusable(false);      _searchMenuItem.collapseActionView();      isSearchFragmentVisible(false);      return false;  }  

Close search is then manually called when an item is selected from the custom "suggestion" listview.

Found it. The call should be _searchView.onActionViewCollapsed(). Why on earth you call a "listener" style method (ie, one that begins with 'on') is beyond me.

Instead of calling _searchView.onActionViewCollapsed() call menuItem.collapseActionView() where _searchView = menuItem.getActionView().

@sebastian that's not actually right.

I've been stucked at this issue for a while, but finally I've managed to handle it in the right way. You're suppose to call menuSearch.collapseActionView(); instead. This method will call onActionViewCollapsed, which you could override. So you don't call a listener ;)

MenuItem menuSearch = menu.findItem(R.id.itemSearch);  SearchView searchView = (SearchView) menuSearch.getActionView();  //Don't use next line  //searchView.onActionViewCollapsed();  menuSearch.collapseActionView();

This worked for me and it also closed the keyboard by Default

MenuItemCompat.collapseActionView(menuItem);

Returning false should have been sufficient based on the latest documentation and the source code iff iconifiedByDefault == true.

Did you by any chance define iconifiedByDefault="false" or called setIconifiedByDefault(false)?

Answer by Stephane for How to completely collapse a SearchView after an item selected?

You should clear the search, remove the focus and then call:

searchView.setIconified(true);

I've changed the 'Go' button to 'Next', so the only method that worked for me (on API 19) is typing closeBtn.performClick(); closeBtn.performClick(); (Clicking 'close' button twice) in the OnEditorActionListener of the AutoCompleteTextView. You can get the AutoCompleteTextView like this:

LinearLayout linearLayout1 = (LinearLayout) searchView.getChildAt(0);  LinearLayout linearLayout2 = (LinearLayout) linearLayout1.getChildAt(2);  LinearLayout linearLayout3 = (LinearLayout) linearLayout2.getChildAt(1);  AutoCompleteTextView autoComplete = (AutoCompleteTextView) linearLayout3.getChildAt(0);

If you're using Toolbar (android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar) and the corresponding SearchView (android.support.v7.widget.SearchView) with it, this works:

    searchView.setQuery("", false);      searchView.clearFocus();      searchView.setIconified(true);
