Material Search View

Cute library to implement SearchView in a Material Design Approach. Works from Android API 14 (ICS) and above.

Usage

Add the dependencies to your gradle file:

allprojects {

  repositories {

...

maven {
 url 'https://jitpack.io' 
}

  
}
 
}
 dependencies {

compile 'com.github.claudiodegio:MsvSearch:1.0.0' 
}

Add MaterialSearchView to your layout file along with the Toolbar (Add this block at the bottom of your layout, in order to display it over the rest of the view):

<!— Must be last for right layering display —> <FrameLayout
  android:id="@+id/toolbar_container"
  android:layout_width="match_parent"
  android:layout_height="wrap_content">

<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar

android:id="@+id/toolbar"

android:layout_width="match_parent"

android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"

android:background="@color/theme_primary" />
  <com.claudiodegio.msv.MaterialSearchView

android:id="@+id/sv"

android:elevation="5dip"

android:layout_width="match_parent"

android:layout_height="wrap_content">
  </com.claudiodegio.msv.MaterialSearchView> </FrameLayout>

Add the search item into the menu file:

 <item

android:id="@+id/action_search"

android:icon="@drawable/ic_action_action_search"

android:orderInCategory="100"

android:title="@string/abc_search_hint"

app:showAsAction="always" />

Add define it in the onCreateOptionsMenu:

 @Override  public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {

getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.menu_main, menu);

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

searchView.setMenuItem(item);

 return true;
  
}
