How do I close a SearchView programmatically?
Based on @MarcinOrlowski answer, also you can use:
@Overridepublic void onBackPressed() { if (!searchView.isIconified()) { searchView.setIconified(true); } else { super.onBackPressed(); }}
Use
searchView.setIconified(true)I also used MenuItemCompat.collapseActionView
MenuItemCompat.collapseActionView(menuItem)EDITED
This method was deprecated in API level 26.1.0. Use collapseActionView() directly.
There is a simple way to do this:
@Overridepublic void onBackPressed() { if (!searchView.isIconified()) { searchView.onActionViewCollapsed(); } else { super.onBackPressed(); }}or use:
myToolBar.collapseActionView();This will make the searchView to collapse before you press the back then the back action will be called.
Both solutions will work.
