Can i use editText as Search bar in android? I am not trying to make a search bar inside a toolbar so i am thinking that editText would be fine but i am not sure and that is why i am asking. I have made my research but there is no new content on this topic and the android documentation with the search bar widget is confusing to me. And another question i have is how can i display the data after the request from the search bar is made. Should i display it in the same fragment or should i start a new activity?
Thanks in advance.
Yes, You can use editText for searching, but you have to code searching capability manually. You can show search result both in fragment and in activity.
My Recommendation is to display it in the same fragment.
