searchView.setOnSearchClickListener( new OnClickListener() {

            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                Log.v(MyApp.TAG, "search view On Search Click");


                ActionBar bar = FattureActivity.this.getActionBar();
                bar.setNavigationMode(ActionBar.NAVIGATION_MODE_STANDARD);
            }
        });



        searchView.setOnCloseListener( new OnCloseListener() {

            @Override
            public boolean onClose() {
                Log.v(MyApp.TAG, "search view On Close");


                ActionBar bar = FattureActivity.this.getActionBar();

                bar.setNavigationMode(ActionBar.NAVIGATION_MODE_LIST);


                return false;
            }
        });
