I've made a custom toolbar with a title and functioning popup menu, but I can't seem to get a search menu to show up in the toolbar. The search menu icon doesn't even show in the toolbar for this activity and I can't figure out why.
Main activity:
import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity; import androidx.appcompat.widget.SearchView; import androidx.recyclerview.widget.LinearLayoutManager; import androidx.recyclerview.widget.RecyclerView; import androidx.appcompat.widget.Toolbar; import android.content.Intent; import android.os.Bundle; import android.view.Menu; import android.view.MenuItem; import android.view.View; import android.widget.ImageView; import android.widget.PopupMenu; import android.widget.TextView; import java.util.ArrayList; public class Skills_main extends AppCompatActivity implements SkillsRecyclerViewInterface { ArrayList<SkillsListModel> skillsListModels = new ArrayList<>(); @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.activity_skills_main); RecyclerView recyclerView = findViewById(R.id.skillsRecyclerView); Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar); setSupportActionBar(toolbar); setUpSkillsListModels(); SkillsRecyclerViewAdapter adapter = new SkillsRecyclerViewAdapter(this, skillsListModels, this); recyclerView.setAdapter(adapter); recyclerView.setLayoutManager(new LinearLayoutManager(this)); ImageView menuIcon = findViewById(R.id.menu_icon); TextView title = findViewById(R.id.toolbar_title); String skillsTable = "Skills"; title.setText(skillsTable); menuIcon.setOnClickListener(this::showMenu); } private void setUpSkillsListModels() { String[] skillsHeaders = getResources().getStringArray(R.array.skillHeaders); String[] skillDescriptions = getResources().getStringArray(R.array.skillDescriptions); for (int i = 0; i < skillsHeaders.length; i++) { skillsListModels.add(new SkillsListModel(skillsHeaders[i],skillDescriptions[i])); } } private void showMenu(View v){ PopupMenu popupMenu = new PopupMenu(Skills_main.this,v); popupMenu.getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.popup_menu, popupMenu.getMenu()); popupMenu.setOnMenuItemClickListener(item -> { if(item.getItemId()== R.id.appInfo) { Intent intent = new Intent(Skills_main.this, App_Info_Page.class); startActivity(intent); } if(item.getItemId()==R.id.appHome) { Intent intent = new Intent(Skills_main.this, MainActivity.class); startActivity(intent); } return true; }); popupMenu.show(); } @Override public void onItemClick(int position) { Intent intent = new Intent(Skills_main.this, SkillsDescriptions.class); intent.putExtra("TITLE", skillsListModels.get(position).getSkillsTitle()); intent.putExtra("DESCRIPTION", skillsListModels.get(position).getSkillsDescription()); startActivity(intent); } @Override public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) { getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.search_menu, menu); MenuItem item = menu.findItem(R.id.action_search); SearchView searchView = (SearchView) item.getActionView(); searchView.setOnQueryTextListener(new SearchView.OnQueryTextListener() { @Override public boolean onQueryTextSubmit(String query) { return false; } @Override public boolean onQueryTextChange(String newText) { return false; } }); return super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu); } } Toolbar XML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <androidx.appcompat.widget.Toolbar xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:background="@color/list_background" android:elevation="8dp" android:id="@+id/toolbar" android:fitsSystemWindows="true"> <RelativeLayout android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content"> <ImageView android:id="@+id/menu_icon" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:paddingVertical="15dp" android:contentDescription="@string/app_info" android:src="@drawable/baseline_menu_24" /> <TextView android:id="@+id/toolbar_title" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_alignParentStart="true" android:layout_centerVertical="true" android:layout_marginStart="40dp" android:fontFamily="@font/graduate" android:text="@string/app_name" android:textColor="#E3CDB3" android:textSize="22sp" /> </RelativeLayout> </androidx.appcompat.widget.Toolbar> Search menu XML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"> <item android:id="@+id/action_search" android:title="Search" android:icon="@drawable/baseline_search_24" app:showAsAction="ifRoom|collapseActionView" app:actionViewClass="androidx.appcompat.widget.SearchView"/> </menu> I added the setSupportActionBar(toolbar) lines to attempt to get the toolbar to behave like an action bar. I also tried using an ImageView similarly to how I made the Popup Menu, but still the search menu did not function.
