The user presses the hide keyboard button or the back button. So I need to clear focus on the SearchView when the user is hiding the keyboard.
I tried this but it's not working. focus remains when the user hides the keyboard.
searchView.setOnQueryTextListener(new SearchView.OnQueryTextListener() {
@Override
public boolean onQueryTextSubmit(String query) {
searchView.clearFocus();
return false;
}
@Override
public boolean onQueryTextChange(String newText) {
app.requests.getApi().search(newText).enqueue(SearchFragment.this);
return false;
}
});
and this:
searchView.setOnQueryTextFocusChangeListener(new View.OnFocusChangeListener() {
@Override
public void onFocusChange(View v, boolean hasFocus) {
if (hasFocus) {
app.functions.logWrite("has focus to searchview");
} else {
//code
}
}
});
Okay so try this it needs the use of a library unfortunately but it makes it easier.
In your build.gradle: add this:
dependencies {
implementation 'net.yslibrary.keyboardvisibilityevent:keyboardvisibilityevent:3.0.0-RC2'
}
Register for the keyboard events using KeyboardVisibilityEvent library like this in the fragment/class where SearchView is declared:
KeyboardVisibilityEvent.setEventListener(
getActivity(),
new KeyboardVisibilityEventListener() {
@Override
public void onVisibilityChanged(boolean isOpen) {
if (!isOpen) {
View focusedView = getWindow().getCurrentFocus();
if (focusedView != null && focusedView instanceof SearchView) { // does SearchView have focus?
searchView.clearFocus();
}
}
}
});
searchView.clearFocus(); works on the assumption you have another focusable view in the hierarchy, if not add this to your fragments layout:
android:focusableInTouchMode="true"
Alternatively simply call focus(); on any other view element you want to receive focus.
This is what I use for handling back button clicks for SearchView, by Overriding onBackPressed()
@Override
public void onBackPressed() {
if (!searchView.isIconified()) {
searchView.setIconified(true);
ANY_VIEW_IN_YOUR_LAYOUT.requestFocus();
} else
super.onBackPressed();
}
Hope this helps. Feel free to ask for clarifications...
