I have SearchView menu in ActionBar, so when I click on the search menu icon I will be get following :

java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'android.graphics.drawable.Drawable$ConstantState android.graphics.drawable.Drawable.getConstantState()' on a null object reference

Error logged: uncaught

I don't understand why appears this error. Anybody know how to fix this?

EDIT:

searchable.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<searchable xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:label="@string/app_name"
android:hint="@string/search_hint" />

Activity onCreateOptionsMenu:

    getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main_page_menu, menu);
    SearchManager searchManager = (SearchManager) getSystemService(Context.SEARCH_SERVICE);
    SearchView searchView = (SearchView) menu.findItem(R.id.ac_search_gdz).getActionView();
    searchView.setSearchableInfo(searchManager.getSearchableInfo(getComponentName()));
    searchView.setIconifiedByDefault(false);

Menu xml:

<item
    android:id="@+id/ac_search_gdz"
    android:icon="@drawable/ic_menu_search"
    android:orderInCategory="700"
    android:title="@string/gdz_text"
    app:actionViewClass="android.support.v7.widget.SearchView"
    app:showAsAction="collapseActionView|ifRoom"
    android:visible="false"/>

when using In fragment:

public void onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu, MenuInflater inflater) { 
    searchMenuItem = menu.findItem(R.id.ac_search_gdz);
    searchMenuItem.setVisible(true);
    searchView = (SearchView) MenuItemCompat.getActionView(searchMenuItem);
    super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu, inflater);
}

In Manifest:

    ...
    <meta-data
        android:name="android.app.default_searchable"
        android:value=".ClassPage" /
    ...
    <activity
        android:name=".ClassPage" >
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.SEARCH" />
        </intent-filter>
     <meta-data android:name="android.app.searchable" android:resource="@xml/searchable"/>
    </activity>

  • Are you instantiating that view? – mariuss Oct 20 '15 at 11:14
  • @lazai no, I use simply android.support.v7.widget.SearchView. – SBotirov Oct 20 '15 at 11:15
  • Try this : mSearchView = (SearchView) MenuItemCompat.getActionView(searchItem); if you're not using MenuItemCompat already ; I don't know if this will work , please could you show some sample code where do you think it's the problem ? – mariuss Oct 20 '15 at 11:19

  • Are you using ProGuard? If so, it looks like you're missing a rule. Could you please also tell us which version of the `v7` support library you're using? Thanks! – fasteque Oct 20 '15 at 11:31
  • yes, have a keep line in proguard file: -keep class android.support.v7.widget.SearchView { *; } – SBotirov Oct 20 '15 at 11:33
