Cute library to implement SearchView in a Material Design Approach. Works from Android API 14 (ICS) and above.
Add the dependencies to your gradle file:
allprojects {
repositories {
...
maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
}
}
dependencies {
compile 'com.github.claudiodegio:MsvSearch:1.0.0'
}Add MaterialSearchView to your layout file along with the Toolbar (Add this block at the bottom of your layout, in order to display it over the rest of the view):
<!— Must be last for right layering display —>
<FrameLayout
android:id="@+id/toolbar_container"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
android:id="@+id/toolbar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
android:background="@color/theme_primary" />
<com.claudiodegio.msv.MaterialSearchView
android:id="@+id/sv"
android:elevation="5dip"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
</com.claudiodegio.msv.MaterialSearchView>
</FrameLayout>Add the search item into the menu file:
<item
android:id="@+id/action_search"
android:icon="@drawable/ic_action_action_search"
android:orderInCategory="100"
android:title="@string/abc_search_hint"
app:showAsAction="always" />Add define it in the onCreateOptionsMenu:
@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.menu_main, menu);
MenuItem item = menu.findItem(R.id.action_search);
searchView.setMenuItem(item);
return true;
}Pull requests are more than welcome, help me and others improve this awesome library.
