you should add onQueryTextListener
in searchView.
@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.category_menu, menu);
SearchView searchView = (SearchView) menu.findItem(R.id.category_search).getActionView();
SearchManager searchManager = (SearchManager) getSystemService(Context.SEARCH_SERVICE);
searchView.setSearchableInfo(searchManager.getSearchableInfo(new ComponentName(this, SearchResultsActivity.class)));
searchView..setOnQueryTextListener(new SearchView.OnQueryTextListener() {
@Override
public boolean onQueryTextSubmit(String query) {
startActivity(CategoryActivity.this, SearchResultActivity.class);
return true;
}
@Override
public boolean onQueryTextChange(String newText) {
return false;
}
});
return true;
}
