An implementation of a floating search box with search suggestions, also called persistent search bar.
- In your dependencies, add
compile 'com.github.arimorty:floatingsearchview:2.0.1'
- Add a FloatingSearchView to your view hierarchy, and make sure that it takes up the full width and height of the screen
- Listen to query changes and provide suggestion items that implement SearchSuggestion
Example:
<com.arlib.floatingsearchview.FloatingSearchView
android:id="@+id/floating_search_view"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
app:floatingSearch_searchBarMarginLeft="@dimen/search_view_inset"
app:floatingSearch_searchBarMarginTop="@dimen/search_view_inset"
app:floatingSearch_searchBarMarginRight="@dimen/search_view_inset"
app:floatingSearch_searchHint="Search..."
app:floatingSearch_suggestionsListAnimDuration="250"
app:floatingSearch_showSearchKey="false"
app:floatingSearch_leftActionMode="showHamburger"
app:floatingSearch_menu="@menu/menu_main"/>
mSearchView.setOnQueryChangeListener(new FloatingSearchView.OnQueryChangeListener() {
@Override
public void onSearchTextChanged(String oldQuery, final String newQuery) {
//get suggestions based on newQuery
//pass them on to the search view
mSearchView.swapSuggestions(newSuggestions);
}
});
Left action mode:
The left action can be configured as follows:
Add
app:floatingSearch_leftActionMode="[insert one of the options from table below]"
showHamburger | |
showSearch | |
showHome | |
noLeftAction |
Listen to hamburger button clicks:
mSearchView.setOnLeftMenuClickListener(
new FloatingSearchView.OnLeftMenuClickListener() { ...} );
Listen to home (back arrow) button clicks:
mSearchView.setOnHomeActionClickListener(
new FloatingSearchView.OnHomeActionClickListener() { ... });
Configure menu items:
Add a menu resource
app:floatingSearch_menu="@menu/menu_main"
In the menu resource, set items' app:showAsAction="[insert one of the options described in the table below]"
never | Puts the menu item in the overflow options popup |
ifRoom | Shows an action icon for the menu if the following conditions are met: 1. The search is not focused. 2. There is enough room for it. |
always | Shows an action icon for the menu if there is room, regardless of whether the search is focused or not. |
Listen for item selections
mSearchView.setOnMenuItemClickListener(new FloatingSearchView.OnMenuItemClickListener() {
@Override
public void onMenuItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
}
});
Configure suggestion item:
First, implement SearchSuggestion
Optional:
Set a callback for when a given suggestion is bound to the suggestion list.
mSearchView.setOnBindSuggestionCallback(new SearchSuggestionsAdapter.OnBindSuggestionCallback() {
@Override
public void onBindSuggestion(View suggestionView, ImageView leftIcon, TextView textView, SearchSuggestion item, int itemPosition) {
//here you can set some attributes for the suggestion's left icon and text. For example,
//you can choose your favorite image-loading library for setting the left icon's image.
}
});
