To implement search in android

Question

It is the part of my code..

SearchManager searchManager = (SearchManager)getSystemService(Context.SEARCH_SERVICE);
    SearchView searchView = (SearchView) menu.findItem(R.id.menu_search)
            .getActionView();
    searchView.setOnQueryTextListener(this);
    searchView.setSearchableInfo(searchManager.getSearchableInfo(getComponentName()));
    // searchManager.startSearch(oldval, selectInitialQuery, self, null, false);
    // searchView.setIconifiedByDefault(false);
    return super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);

This code is used in Activity for searching.. But I need to implement this code in Fragment.. Which changes are need to be done?? How to implement Search in fragment? Please Help..

Do you want to implement search globally on the device or just a value in a some List/Grid Component? — VikramV, Apr 12 '14 at 06:03

create search_menu.xml
place this file in menu folder in resources

<item
    android:id="@+id/action_search"
    android:icon="@android:drawable/ic_menu_search"
    android:title="@string/app_name"
   yournamespace:actionViewClass="android.support.v7.widget.SearchView"
    yournamespace:showAsAction="always"/>

create activity on override onCreateOptionsMenu.

in activity write following code

@Override public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {

MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater(); inflater.inflate(R.menu.activity_friends_search, menu);

        // Associate searchable configuration with the SearchView
    android.support.v7.widget.SearchView

        searchView = (SearchView) MenuItemCompat.getActionView(menu
                .findItem(R.id.action_search));
        AutoCompleteTextView searchText = (AutoCompleteTextView) searchView
                .findViewById(R.id.search_src_text);
        searchText.setHintTextColor(getResources().getColor(R.color.white));
        searchText.setTextColor(getResources().getColor(R.color.white));
        searchView.setQueryHint(getText(R.string.search_hint));
        searchText.requestFocus();
        searchView.setIconified(false);
        searchView.setOnQueryTextListener(new OnQueryTextListener() 
        {
            @Override
            public boolean onQueryTextChange(String query) {
            }
            @Override
            public boolean onQueryTextSubmit(String query) 
            {
            }   
        });

}

But I need to implement searching code in Fragment, Not in Activity. Please Help. Its urgent. — user3388240, Apr 12 '14 at 09:00
