Question

Im using an action bar and adding a searchView to it. I have implemented the searchView.onCLoseListener but this does not seem to be getting invoked. Any suggestions ?

My code looks something like this :

SearchView searchView = new SearchView(getContext());
searchView.setOnCloseListener(new OnCloseListener() {

  public boolean onClose() {
    searchView.setVisibility(SearchView.GONE);
    // Do Something

    return true;
  }
});

Ok. i got the mistake. We cant add a searchCommand and do

setShowAsAction(MenuItem.SHOW_AS_ACTION_COLLAPSE_ACTION_VIEW)

Doing this would remove the searchText if any and hence we cant do a onClose().
