Material Search View

Cute library to implement SearchView in a Material Design Approach. Works from Android API 14 (ICS) and above.

Usage

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>

Create a menu resource file and add the search item into the menu file:

	<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/ic_magnify_white_24dp"
            app:showAsAction="always"
            />
    </menu>

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;
    }

Implement following methods from OnSearchViewListener

    @Override
    public void onSearchViewShown() {

    }

    @Override
    public void onSearchViewClosed() {

    }

    @Override
    public boolean onQueryTextSubmit(String query) {
        // handle text submit and then return true
        return false;
    }

    @Override
    public void onQueryTextChange(String newText) {

    }

Hook your OnSearchViewListener and don't forget to add toolbar and set it as support action bar!!

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(@Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.test_msv_simple);

        Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
        setSupportActionBar(toolbar);

        mSearchView = (MaterialSearchView) findViewById(R.id.sv);
        mSearchView.setOnSearchViewListener(this); // this class implements OnSearchViewListener
    }

More detailed and advanced examples coming soon!
