#Example
Here is a simple example of using MaterialSearchBar
private List<String> lastSearches; private MaterialSearchBar searchBar; @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
searchBar = (MaterialSearchBar) findViewById(R.id.searchBar);
searchBar.setHint("Custom hint");
searchBar.setSpeechMode(true);
//enable searchbar callbacks
searchBar.setOnSearchActionListener(this);
//restore last queries from disk
lastSearches = loadSearchSuggestionFromDisk();
searchBar.setLastSuggestions(list);
//Inflate menu and setup OnMenuItemClickListener
searchBar.inflateMenu(R.menu.main);
searchBar.getMenu().setOnMenuItemClickListener(this);
}
@Override protected void onDestroy() {
super.onDestroy();
//save last queries to disk
saveSearchSuggestionToDisk(searchBar.getLastSuggestions());
}
@Override public void onSearchStateChanged(boolean enabled) {
String s = enabled ? "enabled" : "disabled";
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "Search " + s, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
@Override public void onSearchConfirmed(CharSequence text) {
startSearch(text.toString(), true, null, true);
}
@Override public void onButtonClicked(int buttonCode) {
switch (buttonCode){
case MaterialSearchBar.BUTTON_NAVIGATION:
drawer.openDrawer(Gravity.LEFT);
break;
case MaterialSearchBar.BUTTON_SPEECH:
openVoiceRecognizer();
