Implement Search Bar on Activity Load

I want to load an activity and have the search bar visible right away with a magnifying glass available to click/search based on the term entered. Here is what I want to see when I load the activity:
Code:
public class FlickRActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_flick_r);
}
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.menu, menu);
MenuItem searchItem = menu.findItem(R.id.search);
SearchView searchView = (SearchView) MenuItemCompat.getActionView(searchItem);
searchView.setOnQueryTextListener(new SearchView.OnQueryTextListener() {
#Override
public boolean onQueryTextSubmit(String query) {
return false;
}
#Override
public boolean onQueryTextChange(String newText) {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),newText,Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
return false;
}
});
return true;
}
}
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/search"
android:title="#string/hint_search"
android:icon="#android:drawable/ic_menu_search"
app:showAsAction="collapseActionView|ifRoom"
app:actionViewClass="android.support.v7.widget.SearchView" />
</menu>

Just call searchItem.expandActionView();

Implementing toolbar invoking null object reference

I am having problems implementing the actionbar (which I think is now replaced by toolbar). What I want is a small drop down menu with the 3 dots where I can have a few options such as settings and credits. I have tried to set it up so that the menu appears on the homelistview.java page. I feel like I have been going in circles trying different solutions and getting a new error each time and it always points back to the same location mentioned below.
setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
I had originally thought it was because I didn't include setContentView(R.layout.activity_main); but it was not happy including 2 content views. Any help would be appreciated.
Here is my code.

Your Toolbar toolbar is declared/ initialized in the onCreate only, hence the scope is gone out of that method...
define the object as an activity variable and initialize it in the onCreate
public class HomeActivityListview extends AppCompatActivity {
ListView lv;
Context context;
ArrayList dogName;
ArrayList dogID;
public static int [] dogImages={R.drawable.dogpic};
public static String [] dogNames={};
private Toolbar toolbar; //define it here
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_home_activity_listview);
toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar); //but init here
setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
context=this;
lv=(ListView) findViewById(R.id.listView);
lv.setAdapter(new CustomAdapter(this, dogImages));
}

Set menu item text

I am having trouble setting the menu item text. I want when I start the activity to see the price of all my items in the basket. But whenever I start the shopping list activity I get below error:
java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke interface method 'android.view.MenuItem android.view.Menu.findItem(int)' on a null object reference
This is the code:
public class Shopping_list_activity extends AppCompatActivity{
private Menu menu;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.shopping_list_activity);
updateMenuTitles();
}
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.menu_shopping_list, menu);
this.menu = menu;
return true;
}
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
int id = item.getItemId();
if (id == R.id.menu_shopping_list_saveList) {
Toast.makeText(Shopping_list_activity.this, " Clicked", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
// else if (id == R.id.menu_shopping_list_total){
// Toast.makeText(Shopping_list_activity.this, getPriceOfDisplayedItems() + " total", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
// }
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
private void updateMenuTitles() {
MenuItem menuItem = menu.findItem(R.id.menu_shopping_list_total);
if (getPriceOfDisplayedItems() > 0) {
menuItem.setTitle(String.valueOf(getPriceOfDisplayedItems()));
} else {
menuItem.setTitle("Total: 0.00");
}
}
The getPriceOfDisplayedItems() displays the correct price.
And the XML file :
<?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"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools">
<item
android:id="#+id/menu_shopping_list_total"
android:title="#string/total"
app:showAsAction="always" />
</menu>
Can anyone help me with this problem?

I think onCreate method is called before onCreateOptions menu. That's why this.menu is null. Try moving invocation of updateMenuTitles to onCreateOptionsMenu.

You should add menu_shopping_list_saveList item in your 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"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools">
<item
android:id="#+id/menu_shopping_list_total"
android:title="#string/total"
app:showAsAction="always" />
<item
android:id="#+id/menu_shopping_list_saveList"
android:title="#string/total"
app:showAsAction="always" />
</menu>

How to link local HTML pages with strings in a navigation drawer?

I have a simple app with a webview to load local HTML pages, I put all my files inside assets, now in my navigation drawer I want to have some text/links that open these pages, I tried to follow some tuts on the web but somehow I can't make it happen.

As I understand you want to load yours html file from assets into WebView by clicking items in drawerMenu? If it's so you you need to add this lines to onClickListener of yours listView in drawer:
mDrawerList.setOnItemClickListener(new AdapterView.OnItemClickListener() {
#Override
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) {
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "Time for an upgrade!", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
//load file to webView
mWebView.loadUrl("REPLACE_IT_WITH_PATH_TO_FILE");
//close drawer
mDrawerLayout.closeDrawers();
}
});

Android SearchView Widget With List Item as a Result

anyone can give me a solution on how to use searchView widget(not in action bar) to show a list of result base on what the user type in searchView.
i am very new in developing android application and it happen that i want to try to create a simple application that can retrieve a data from the database.
i try to search from the internet and i found 'searchView' which i am able to search a data. i copy the code from the internet and modify some part. i read the code, i actually understand some code but not all, now from the MainActivity, i see that the 'onSearchRequested();' is called and then an intent is start with a searchView in action bar.
i try to modify the code with putting a searchView widget at the layout, i want to use this instead of 'onSearchRequested();' but im stock, dont know how show the 'ListView' as the result.
this what the run looks like:

and i want to change it like:
a searchView with result of list item but not in action bar
the code::
'MainActivity.java' // The original
public class MainActivity extends FragmentActivity{
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
Button btn = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btn_search);
btn.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
onSearchRequested(); // This will start eveything on button click
}
});
}
}
'MainActivity.java' // I already Modify
public class MainActivity extends FragmentActivity{
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
Button btn = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btn_search);
btn.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
onSearchRequested();
}
});
SearchView searchView = (SearchView)findViewById(R.id.searchView1);
//This is just some code trying to customize the SearchView
searchView.setQueryHint("Type Word...");
int searchPlateId = searchView.getContext().getResources().getIdentifier("android:id/search_plate", null, null);
View searchPlate = searchView.findViewById(searchPlateId);
if (searchPlate!=null) {
searchPlate.setBackgroundColor(Color.WHITE);
int searchTextId = searchPlate.getContext().getResources().getIdentifier("android:id/search_src_text", null, null);
TextView searchText = (TextView) searchPlate.findViewById(searchTextId);
if (searchText!=null) {
searchText.setTextColor(Color.DKGRAY);
searchText.setHintTextColor(Color.LTGRAY);
}
}
// and im stock here, dont now what next to do
}
}
SearchableActivity.java //Nothings modify here
public class SearchableActivity extends FragmentActivity implements LoaderCallbacks<Cursor> {
ListView mLVCountries;
SimpleCursorAdapter mCursorAdapter;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_searchable);
// Getting reference to Country List
mLVCountries = (ListView)findViewById(R.id.lv_countries);
// Setting item click listener
mLVCountries.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) {
Intent countryIntent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), CountryActivity.class);
// Creating a uri to fetch country details corresponding to selected listview item
Uri data = Uri.withAppendedPath(CountryContentProvider.CONTENT_URI, String.valueOf(id));
// Setting uri to the data on the intent
countryIntent.setData(data);
// Open the activity
startActivity(countryIntent);
}
});
// Defining CursorAdapter for the ListView
mCursorAdapter = new SimpleCursorAdapter(getBaseContext(),
android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1,
null,
new String[] { SearchManager.SUGGEST_COLUMN_TEXT_1},
new int[] { android.R.id.text1}, 0);
// Setting the cursor adapter for the country listview
mLVCountries.setAdapter(mCursorAdapter);
// Getting the intent that invoked this activity
Intent intent = getIntent();
// If this activity is invoked by selecting an item from Suggestion of Search dialog or
// from listview of SearchActivity
if(intent.getAction().equals(Intent.ACTION_VIEW)){
Intent countryIntent = new Intent(this, CountryActivity.class);
countryIntent.setData(intent.getData());
startActivity(countryIntent);
finish();
}else if(intent.getAction().equals(Intent.ACTION_SEARCH)){ // If this activity is invoked, when user presses "Go" in the Keyboard of Search Dialog
String query = intent.getStringExtra(SearchManager.QUERY);
doSearch(query);
}
}
private void doSearch(String query){
Bundle data = new Bundle();
data.putString("query", query);
// Invoking onCreateLoader() in non-ui thread
getSupportLoaderManager().initLoader(1, data, this);
}
/** This method is invoked by initLoader() */
#Override
public Loader<Cursor> onCreateLoader(int arg0, Bundle data) {
Uri uri = CountryContentProvider.CONTENT_URI;
return new CursorLoader(getBaseContext(), uri, null, null , new String[]{data.getString("query")}, null);
}
/** This method is executed in ui thread, after onCreateLoader() */
#Override
public void onLoadFinished(Loader<Cursor> arg0, Cursor c) {
mCursorAdapter.swapCursor(c);
}
#Override
public void onLoaderReset(Loader<Cursor> arg0) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
}

Again, Please im just a newbie, if there's something wrong on my question im really sorry, i love programming and im just trying to learn. anyway, thank you very much!!! any help will be appreciated!

Just refer this link ..

It's not a big deal. If You know the CustomListView then it's easy for you.

Did not understand the whole question, but maybe you want to forget the onSearchRequested(); and change it with your customize searchView. try this,
you dont need to change anything on your code except in MainActivity. if you don't want onSearchRequested(); for some reason... here..
If you have a custom searchView in your actionbar and use it instead of searchView in your layout you may use this code:
public class MainActivity extends FragmentActivity{
static SearchView searchView;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
}
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater();
inflater.inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
//Your design here
MenuItem menuItem = menu.findItem(R.id.search);
SearchView searchView = (SearchView) menuItem.getActionView();
searchView.setIconifiedByDefault(false);
searchView.setQueryHint("Type something...");
int searchPlateId = searchView.getContext().getResources().getIdentifier("android:id/search_plate", null, null);
View searchPlate = searchView.findViewById(searchPlateId);
if (searchPlate!=null) {
searchPlate.setBackgroundColor(Color.DKGRAY);
int searchTextId = searchPlate.getContext().getResources().getIdentifier("android:id/search_src_text", null, null);
TextView searchText = (TextView) searchPlate.findViewById(searchTextId);
if (searchText!=null) {
searchText.setTextColor(Color.WHITE);
searchText.setHintTextColor(Color.WHITE);
}
}
//Maybe this is what you want
// Associate searchable configuration with the SearchView
SearchManager searchManager =
(SearchManager) getSystemService(Context.SEARCH_SERVICE);
searchView = (SearchView) menu.findItem(R.id.search).getActionView();
searchView.setSearchableInfo(
searchManager.getSearchableInfo(getComponentName()));
return true;
}
}
and in you res/menu/main.xml add this
<item android:id="#+id/search"
android:title="#string/search_title"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_search"
android:showAsAction="collapseActionView|ifRoom"
android:actionViewClass="android.widget.SearchView" />
and try to execute your project
or if you really want to use your custom searchView in your layout then this:
public class MainActivity extends FragmentActivity{
static SearchView searchView;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
searchView = (SearchView)findViewById(R.id.searchView1);
searchView.setQueryHint("Type Word...");
int searchPlateId = searchView.getContext().getResources().getIdentifier("android:id/search_plate", null, null);
View searchPlate = searchView.findViewById(searchPlateId);
if (searchPlate!=null) {
searchPlate.setBackgroundColor(Color.WHITE);
int searchTextId = searchPlate.getContext().getResources().getIdentifier("android:id/search_src_text", null, null);
TextView searchText = (TextView) searchPlate.findViewById(searchTextId);
if (searchText!=null) {
searchText.setTextColor(Color.DKGRAY);
searchText.setHintTextColor(Color.LTGRAY);
//This is what you want?
SearchManager searchManager = (SearchManager) getSystemService(Context.SEARCH_SERVICE);
searchView.getRootView();//Notice that i change this
searchView.setSearchableInfo(
searchManager.getSearchableInfo(getComponentName()));
}
}
}
