Implement MenuItemCompat.setOnActionExpandListener, to listen to the events when the search bar expands/collapses. Does it help? — Yash, Feb 17 '16 at 05:19

add below line to all menu items except search

    app:showAsAction="ifRoom"

and in your search item add

    app:iconifiedByDefault="true"

You have to implement MenuItemCompat interface to get those events. that will allow you to listen open and close and many more events. so check it.

I used the same. But here I'm having events on search like onQueryTextSubmit or onQueryTextChange. But question is on click on search I want to hide entire action bar except search and list. Just like whatsapp. – Kishore Kumar Korada Feb 17 '16 at 05:29
