MaterialSearchView

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

#Native version Maybe it would be useful to take a look into the new official approach http://www.materialdoc.com/search-filter/

Usage

Add the dependencies to your gradle file:

 dependencies {

compile 'com.miguelcatalan:materialsearchview:1.4.0'  
}

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.miguelcatalan.materialsearchview.MaterialSearchView

 android:id="@+id/search_view"

 android:layout_width="match_parent"

 android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
  </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;
  
}

Set the listeners:

 MaterialSearchView searchView = (MaterialSearchView) findViewById(R.id.search_view);
  searchView.setOnQueryTextListener(new MaterialSearchView.OnQueryTextListener() {

 @Override

 public boolean onQueryTextSubmit(String query) {

  //Do some magic

  return false;

 
}

  @Override

 public boolean onQueryTextChange(String newText) {

  //Do some magic

  return false;

 
}

}
);

searchView.setOnSearchViewListener(new MaterialSearchView.SearchViewListener() {

 @Override

 public void onSearchViewShown() {

  //Do some magic

 
}

  @Override

 public void onSearchViewClosed() {

  //Do some magic

 
}

}
);

Use VoiceSearch

Allow/Disable it in the code:

 searchView.setVoiceSearch(true);
 //or false

Handle the response:

 @Override
  protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {

if (requestCode == MaterialSearchView.REQUEST_VOICE && resultCode == RESULT_OK) {

 ArrayList<String> matches = data.getStringArrayListExtra(RecognizerIntent.EXTRA_RESULTS);

 if (matches != null && matches.size() > 0) {

  String searchWrd = matches.get(0);

  if (!TextUtils.isEmpty(searchWrd)) {

searchView.setQuery(searchWrd, false);

  
}

 
}

  return;

}

super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);

  
}

Add suggestions

Define them in the resources as a string-array:

 <string-array name="query_suggestions">

<item>Android</item>

<item>iOS</item>

<item>SCALA</item>

<item>Ruby</item>

<item>JavaScript</item>
  </string-array>

Add them to the object:

 searchView.setSuggestions(getResources().getStringArray(R.array.query_suggestions));

Style it!

 <style name="MaterialSearchViewStyle">

<!-- Background for the search bar -->

<item name="searchBackground">@color/theme_primary</item>

 <!-- Change voice icon -->

<item name="searchVoiceIcon">@drawable/ic_action_voice_search_inverted</item>

 <!-- Change clear text icon -->

<item name="searchCloseIcon">@drawable/ic_action_navigation_close_inverted</item>

 <!-- Change up icon -->

<item name="searchBackIcon">@drawable/ic_action_navigation_arrow_back_inverted</item>

<!-- Change icon for the suggestions -->

<item name="searchSuggestionIcon">@drawable/ic_suggestion</item>

 <!-- Change background for the suggestions list view -->

<item name="searchSuggestionBackground">@android:color/white</item>

 <!-- Change text color for edit text. This will also be the color of the cursor -->

<item name="android:textColor">@color/theme_primary_text_inverted</item>

 <!-- Change hint text color for edit text -->

<item name="android:textColorHint">@color/theme_secondary_text_inverted</item>

 <!-- Hint for edit text -->

<item name="android:hint">@string/search_hint</item>
  </style>

#Custom cursor Create the drawable:

 <shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">

<size android:width="2dp" />

<solid android:color="@color/theme_primary" />
  </shape>

And add it to the object:

 searchView.setCursorDrawable(R.drawable.custom_cursor);

Using AppBarLayout?

It is a little bit tricky but can be achieved using this:

 <RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
  xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
  android:id="@+id/container"
  android:layout_width="match_parent"
  android:layout_height="match_parent">

<!— Irrelevant stuff —>
  <android.support.v4.view.ViewPager

android:id="@+id/viewpager"

android:layout_width="match_parent"

android:layout_height="match_parent"

android:layout_below="@+id/appbarlayout"

app:layout_behavior="@string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior" />

<!— Must be last for right layering display —>
  <android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout

android:id="@+id/appbarlayout"

android:layout_width="match_parent"

android:layout_height="wrap_content"

android:background="@color/search_layover_bg">

 <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.miguelcatalan.materialsearchview.MaterialSearchView

  android:id="@+id/search_view"

  android:layout_width="match_parent"

  android:layout_height="wrap_content"

  android:visibility="gone" />

</FrameLayout>

 <android.support.design.widget.TabLayout

 android:id="@+id/tabs"

 android:layout_width="match_parent"

 android:layout_height="wrap_content"

 android:background="@color/theme_primary"

 app:tabGravity="fill"

 app:tabMode="fixed" />

</android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout>  </RelativeLayout>

Bonus

Close on backpressed:

 @Override
  public void onBackPressed() {

if (searchView.isSearchOpen()) {

 searchView.closeSearch();

}
 else {

 super.onBackPressed();

}

  
}
