<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
android:id="@+id/toolbar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:elevation="10dp">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="@color/gray_500"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:gravity="center|right">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:background="@color/white"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:gravity="center|right">
<TextView
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="60dp"

<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1"

android:hint="Find your dil ki deal"
android:drawableLeft="@drawable/search"
android:gravity="center" >

</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
</android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar>
this is custom shape for EditText login_edittext.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item>
<shape>
<gradient
android:angle="270"
android:endColor="@color/white"
android:startColor="@color/white" />
<stroke
android:width="1dp"
android:color="@color/gray_500" />
<corners
android:radius="1dp" />
<padding
android:bottom="10dp"
android:left="10dp"
android:right="10dp"
android:top="10dp" />
</shape>
</item>
</selector>
this is just sketch... you need to change back color ,size ,image etc.....
Just add an edit text as part of your toolbar, something like this:
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="@color/primaryColor"
android:elevation="4dp">
<EditText
android:id="@+id/searchEditText"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center"
/>
</android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar>
I believe the view you are looking for is a SearchView
. You can define on your menu.xml
that you want to add it to your ActionBar/ToolBar. Like this:
<?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:icon="@drawable/search_icon"
android:title="@string/search"
app:actionViewClass="android.support.v7.widget.SearchView"
app:showAsAction="always" />
</menu>
Back on your Activity or Fragment you can manipulate the search view behavior and looks:
@Override
public void onPrepareOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
super.onPrepareOptionsMenu(menu);
MenuItem searchViewMenuItem = menu.findItem(R.id.search);
searchView = (SearchView) searchViewMenuItem.getActionView();
ImageView v = (ImageView) searchView.findViewById(android.support.v7.appcompat.R.id.search_button);
v.setImageResource(R.drawable.search_icon); //Changing the image
if (!searchFor.isEmpty()) {
searchView.setIconified(false);
searchView.setQuery(searchFor, false);
}
searchView.setQueryHint(getResources().getString(R.string.search_hint));
searchView.setOnQueryTextListener(new SearchView.OnQueryTextListener() {
@Override
public boolean onQueryTextSubmit(String query) {
//Do your search
}
@Override
public boolean onQueryTextChange(String newText) {
if(newText.isEmpty()) clearSearch();
return false;
}
});
}
That is a simpler way to do it. The most advised way is to actually have an activity to respond to your search intents. For more info on that behalf visit: http://developer.android.com/intl/pt-br/guide/topics/search/search-dialog.html
