public class SearchView
extends LinearLayout implements CollapsibleActionView

java.lang.Object
↳	android.view.View
	↳	android.view.ViewGroup
		↳	android.widget.LinearLayout
			↳	android.widget.SearchView

---

A widget that provides a user interface for the user to enter a search query and submit a request to a search provider. Shows a list of query suggestions or results, if available, and allows the user to pick a suggestion or result to launch into.

When the SearchView is used in an ActionBar as an action view for a collapsible menu item, it needs to be set to iconified by default using setIconifiedByDefault(true). This is the default, so nothing needs to be done.

If you want the search field to always be visible, then call setIconifiedByDefault(false).

From class android.view.ViewGroup int CLIP_TO_PADDING_MASK We clip to padding when FLAG_CLIP_TO_PADDING and FLAG_PADDING_NOT_NULL are set at the same time. int FOCUS_AFTER_DESCENDANTS This view will get focus only if none of its descendants want it. int FOCUS_BEFORE_DESCENDANTS This view will get focus before any of its descendants. int FOCUS_BLOCK_DESCENDANTS This view will block any of its descendants from getting focus, even if they are focusable. int LAYOUT_MODE_CLIP_BOUNDS This constant is a layoutMode. int LAYOUT_MODE_OPTICAL_BOUNDS This constant is a layoutMode. int PERSISTENT_ALL_CACHES This constant was deprecated in API level 28. The view drawing cache was largely made obsolete with the introduction of hardware-accelerated rendering in API 11.

In the rare cases where caching layers are useful, such as for alpha animations, View.setLayerType(int, android.graphics.Paint) handles this with hardware rendering. For software-rendered snapshots of a small part of the View hierarchy or individual Views it is recommended to create a Canvas from either a Bitmap or Picture and call View.draw(android.graphics.Canvas) on the View. However these software-rendered usages are discouraged and have compatibility issues with hardware-only rendering features such as Config.HARDWARE bitmaps, real-time shadows, and outline clipping.

• setIconifiedByDefault(boolean)

android:imeOptions

The IME options to set on the query text field.

Must be one or more (separated by '|') of the following constant values.

Constant	Value	Description
actionDone	6	The action key performs a "done" operation, closing the soft input method. Corresponds to EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_DONE.
actionGo	2	The action key performs a "go" operation to take the user to the target of the text they typed. Typically used, for example, when entering a URL. Corresponds to EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_GO.
actionNext	5	The action key performs a "next" operation, taking the user to the next field that will accept text. Corresponds to EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_NEXT.
actionNone	1	This editor has no action associated with it. Corresponds to EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_NONE.
actionPrevious	7	The action key performs a "previous" operation, taking the user to the previous field that will accept text. Corresponds to EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_PREVIOUS.
actionSearch	3	The action key performs a "search" operation, taking the user to the results of searching for the text the have typed (in whatever context is appropriate). Corresponds to EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_SEARCH.
actionSend	4	The action key performs a "send" operation, delivering the text to its target. This is typically used when composing a message. Corresponds to EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_SEND.
actionUnspecified	0	There is no specific action associated with this editor, let the editor come up with its own if it can. Corresponds to EditorInfo.IME_NULL.
flagForceAscii	80000000	Used to request that the IME should be capable of inputting ASCII characters. The intention of this flag is to ensure that the user can type Roman alphabet characters in a TextView used for, typically, account ID or password input. It is expected that IMEs normally are able to input ASCII even without being told so (such IMEs already respect this flag in a sense), but there could be some cases they aren't when, for instance, only non-ASCII input languages like Arabic, Greek, Hebrew, Russian are enabled in the IME. Applications need to be aware that the flag is not a guarantee, and not all IMEs will respect it. However, it is strongly recommended for IME authors to respect this flag especially when their IME could end up with a state that has only non-ASCII input languages enabled. Corresponds to EditorInfo.IME_FLAG_FORCE_ASCII.
flagNavigateNext	8000000	Used to specify that there is something interesting that a forward navigation can focus on. This is like using actionNext, except allows the IME to be multiline (with an enter key) as well as provide forward navigation. Note that some IMEs may not be able to do this, especially when running on a small screen where there is little space. In that case it does not need to present a UI for this option. Like actionNext, if the user selects the IME's facility to forward navigate, this will show up in the application at InputConnection.performEditorAction(int). Corresponds to EditorInfo.IME_FLAG_NAVIGATE_NEXT.
flagNavigatePrevious	4000000	Like flagNavigateNext, but specifies there is something interesting that a backward navigation can focus on. If the user selects the IME's facility to backward navigate, this will show up in the application as an actionPrevious at InputConnection.performEditorAction(int). Corresponds to EditorInfo.IME_FLAG_NAVIGATE_PREVIOUS.
flagNoAccessoryAction	20000000	Used in conjunction with a custom action, this indicates that the action should not be available as an accessory button when the input method is full-screen. Note that by setting this flag, there can be cases where the action is simply never available to the user. Setting this generally means that you think showing text being edited is more important than the action you have supplied. Corresponds to EditorInfo.IME_FLAG_NO_ACCESSORY_ACTION.
flagNoEnterAction	40000000	Used in conjunction with a custom action, this indicates that the action should not be available in-line as a replacement for the "enter" key. Typically this is because the action has such a significant impact or is not recoverable enough that accidentally hitting it should be avoided, such as sending a message. Note that TextView will automatically set this flag for you on multi-line text views. Corresponds to EditorInfo.IME_FLAG_NO_ENTER_ACTION.
flagNoExtractUi	10000000	Used to specify that the IME does not need to show its extracted text UI. For input methods that may be fullscreen, often when in landscape mode, this allows them to be smaller and let part of the application be shown behind. Though there will likely be limited access to the application available from the user, it can make the experience of a (mostly) fullscreen IME less jarring. Note that when this flag is specified the IME may not be set up to be able to display text, so it should only be used in situations where this is not needed. Corresponds to EditorInfo.IME_FLAG_NO_EXTRACT_UI.
flagNoFullscreen	2000000	Used to request that the IME never go into fullscreen mode. Applications need to be aware that the flag is not a guarantee, and not all IMEs will respect it. Corresponds to EditorInfo.IME_FLAG_NO_FULLSCREEN.
flagNoPersonalizedLearning	1000000	Used to request that the IME should not update any personalized data such as typing history and personalized language model based on what the user typed on this text editing object. Typical use cases are: When the application is in a special mode, where user's activities are expected to be not recorded in the application's history. Some web browsers and chat applications may have this kind of modes. When storing typing history does not make much sense. Specifying this flag in typing games may help to avoid typing history from being filled up with words that the user is less likely to type in their daily life. Another example is that when the application already knows that the expected input is not a valid word (e.g. a promotion code that is not a valid word in any natural language). Applications need to be aware that the flag is not a guarantee, and some IMEs may not respect it.

Called when the window containing this view gains or loses focus. Note that this is separate from view focus: to receive key events, both your view and its window must have focus. If a window is displayed on top of yours that takes input focus, then your own window will lose focus but the view focus will remain unchanged.

Parameters
hasWindowFocus	boolean: True if the window containing this view now has focus, false otherwise.

setIconified

Added in API level 11

public void setIconified (boolean iconify)

Iconifies or expands the SearchView. Any query text is cleared when iconified. This is a temporary state and does not override the default iconified state set by setIconifiedByDefault(boolean). If the default state is iconified, then a false here will only be valid until the user closes the field. And if the default state is expanded, then a true here will only clear the text field and not close it.

Parameters
iconify	boolean: a true value will collapse the SearchView to an icon, while a false will expand it.

setIconifiedByDefault

Added in API level 11

public void setIconifiedByDefault (boolean iconified)

Sets the default or resting state of the search field. If true, a single search icon is shown by default and expands to show the text field and other buttons when pressed. Also, if the default state is iconified, then it collapses to that state when the close button is pressed. Changes to this property will take effect immediately.

The default value is true.

Protected methods

onDetachedFromWindow

Added in API level 11

protected void onDetachedFromWindow ()

This is called when the view is detached from a window. At this point it no longer has a surface for drawing.
If you override this method you must call through to the superclass implementation.

onLayout

Added in API level 11

protected void onLayout (boolean changed, 
                int left, 
                int top, 
                int right, 
                int bottom)

Called from layout when this view should assign a size and position to each of its children. Derived classes with children should override this method and call layout on each of their children.

Parameters
changed	boolean: This is a new size or position for this view
left	int: Left position, relative to parent
top	int: Top position, relative to parent
right	int: Right position, relative to parent
bottom	int: Bottom position, relative to parent

onMeasure

Added in API level 11

protected void onMeasure (int widthMeasureSpec, 
                int heightMeasureSpec)

Measure the view and its content to determine the measured width and the measured height. This method is invoked by measure(int, int) and should be overridden by subclasses to provide accurate and efficient measurement of their contents.

CONTRACT: When overriding this method, you must call setMeasuredDimension(int, int) to store the measured width and height of this view. Failure to do so will trigger an IllegalStateException, thrown by measure(int, int). Calling the superclass' onMeasure(int, int) is a valid use.

The base class implementation of measure defaults to the background size, unless a larger size is allowed by the MeasureSpec. Subclasses should override onMeasure(int, int) to provide better measurements of their content.

If this method is overridden, it is the subclass's responsibility to make sure the measured height and width are at least the view's minimum height and width (getSuggestedMinimumHeight() and getSuggestedMinimumWidth()).

Parameters
widthMeasureSpec	int: horizontal space requirements as imposed by the parent. The requirements are encoded with View.MeasureSpec.
heightMeasureSpec	int: vertical space requirements as imposed by the parent. The requirements are encoded with View.MeasureSpec.

onRestoreInstanceState

Added in API level 11

protected void onRestoreInstanceState (Parcelable state)

Hook allowing a view to re-apply a representation of its internal state that had previously been generated by onSaveInstanceState(). This function will never be called with a null state.
If you override this method you must call through to the superclass implementation.

Parameters
state	Parcelable: The frozen state that had previously been returned by onSaveInstanceState().

onSaveInstanceState

Added in API level 11

protected Parcelable onSaveInstanceState ()

Hook allowing a view to generate a representation of its internal state that can later be used to create a new instance with that same state. This state should only contain information that is not persistent or can not be reconstructed later. For example, you will never store your current position on screen because that will be computed again when a new instance of the view is placed in its view hierarchy.

Some examples of things you may store here: the current cursor position in a text view (but usually not the text itself since that is stored in a content provider or other persistent storage), the currently selected item in a list view.
If you override this method you must call through to the superclass implementation.

Returns
Parcelable	Returns a Parcelable object containing the view's current dynamic state, or null if there is nothing interesting to save.
