I am unable to use searchView with multiple fragments - android-fragments

Question

In my application I have two fragments Fragment Card, Fragment Note. I am using ViewPager and TabLayout to sliding between two fragments. I want to implement a search function in my application.
This is my MainActivity class in Kotlin
class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() {
private lateinit var viewPager:ViewPager
private lateinit var tabLayout:TabLayout
override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main)
setSupportActionBar(toolbar)
//toolbar.title = "Cards"
initComponent()
}
override fun onCreateOptionsMenu(menu: Menu?): Boolean {
menuInflater.inflate(R.menu.menu_main, menu)
val sv: SearchView = menu!!.findItem(R.id.action_bar_search).actionView as SearchView
val sm = getSystemService(Context.SEARCH_SERVICE) as SearchManager
sv.setSearchableInfo(sm.getSearchableInfo(componentName))
sv.setOnQueryTextListener(object : SearchView.OnQueryTextListener {
override fun onQueryTextSubmit(p0: String?): Boolean {
//loadQuery("%"+p0+"%")
return false
}
override fun onQueryTextChange(p0: String?): Boolean {
//loadQuery("%"+p0+"%")
return false
}
})
return super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu)
}
override fun onOptionsItemSelected(item: MenuItem?): Boolean {
if (item != null) {
when (item.itemId) {
R.id.sort -> {
Toast.makeText(context, "sort note", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show()
}
R.id.settings -> {
Toast.makeText(context, "settings note", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show()
}
}
}
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item)
}
private fun initComponent() {
viewPager = findViewById(R.id.view_pager)
setupViewPager(viewPager)
tabLayout = findViewById(R.id.tab_layout)
tabLayout.setupWithViewPager(viewPager)
viewPager.addOnPageChangeListener(object : ViewPager.SimpleOnPageChangeListener() {
override fun onPageSelected(position: Int) {
changeFabIcon(position)
toolbar.title = tabLayout.getTabAt(position)!!.text.toString()
super.onPageSelected(position)
}
})
fabT.setOnClickListener {
//var text = ""
when (viewPager.currentItem) {
0 -> {
// open add new card page
startActivity(Intent(this, AddCardActivity::class.java))
//text = "Add Card"
}
1 -> {
// open add new note page
startActivity(Intent(this, AddNoteActivity::class.java))
//text = "Add note"
}
}
//Toast.makeText(applicationContext, text, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show()
}
}
private fun changeFabIcon(index: Int) {
fabT.hide()
Handler().postDelayed({
when(index) {
0 -> {
fabT.setImageResource(R.drawable.ic_card)
}
1 -> {
fabT.setImageResource(R.drawable.ic_note)
}
}
fabT.show()
}, 400)
}
private fun setupViewPager(view_pager: ViewPager) {
val mAdapter = ViewPagerAdapter(supportFragmentManager)
mAdapter.addFragment(FragmentCard(), "Cards")
mAdapter.addFragment(FragmentNote(), "Notes")
view_pager.adapter = mAdapter
}
internal inner class ViewPagerAdapter(manager: FragmentManager) : FragmentPagerAdapter(manager) {
private val mFragmentList = ArrayList<Fragment>()
private val mFragmentTitleList = ArrayList<String>()
override fun getItem(position: Int): Fragment {
return mFragmentList[position]
}
override fun getCount(): Int {
return mFragmentList.size
}
fun addFragment(fragment: Fragment, title: String) {
mFragmentList.add(fragment)
mFragmentTitleList.add(title)
//fragment.arguments = args
}
override fun getPageTitle(position: Int): CharSequence? {
return mFragmentTitleList[position]
}
}
}
This is my FragmentNote class in Kotlin
class FragmentNote: Fragment() {
private var listNotes = ArrayList<Note> ()
private lateinit var mRecyclerViewNote: RecyclerView
private lateinit var mAdapterNote: RecyclerViewAdapterNote
override fun onCreateView(inflater: LayoutInflater, container: ViewGroup?, savedInstanceState: Bundle?): View? {
val v = inflater.inflate(R.layout.note_fragment, container, false)
mAdapterNote = RecyclerViewAdapterNote(context!!, listNotes, this)
mRecyclerViewNote = v.findViewById(R.id.noteRecView) as RecyclerView
mRecyclerViewNote.layoutManager = LinearLayoutManager(context)
mRecyclerViewNote.addItemDecoration(DividerItemDecoration(context, LinearLayoutManager.VERTICAL))
mRecyclerViewNote.adapter = mAdapterNote
setHasOptionsMenu(true)
NoteLoadQuery("%")
return v
}
override fun onCreateOptionsMenu(menu: Menu, inflater: MenuInflater) {
inflater.inflate(R.menu.menu_main, menu)
super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu, inflater)
}
private fun NoteLoadQuery(title: String) {
var dbManager = DbManagerNote(context!!)
val projections = arrayOf("ID", "Title", "Description")
val selectionArgs = arrayOf(title)
// sort by title
val cursor = dbManager.Query(projections, "ID like ?", selectionArgs, "ID")
listNotes.clear()
// ascending
if (cursor.moveToLast()) {
do {
val ID = cursor.getInt(cursor.getColumnIndex("ID"))
val Title = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex("Title"))
val Description = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex("Description"))
listNotes.add(Note(ID, Title, Description))
} while (cursor.moveToPrevious())
}
mAdapterNote.notifyDataSetChanged()
}
}
and finally this is my FragmentCard class
class FragmentCard: Fragment() {
private var listCards = ArrayList<Card>()
private lateinit var myRecyclerViewCard: RecyclerView
private lateinit var mAdapter: RecyclerViewAdapterCard
override fun onCreateView(inflater: LayoutInflater, container: ViewGroup?,
savedInstanceState: Bundle?): View? {
val v = inflater.inflate(R.layout.card_fragment, container, false)
mAdapter = RecyclerViewAdapterCard(context!!,listCards, this)
myRecyclerViewCard = v.findViewById(R.id.cardRecView) as RecyclerView
myRecyclerViewCard.layoutManager = LinearLayoutManager(context)
myRecyclerViewCard.addItemDecoration(DividerItemDecoration(context, LinearLayoutManager.VERTICAL))
myRecyclerViewCard.adapter = mAdapter
setHasOptionsMenu(true)
CardLoadQueryAscending("%")
return v
}
override fun onCreateOptionsMenu(menu: Menu, inflater: MenuInflater) {
inflater.inflate(R.menu.menu_main, menu)
super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu, inflater)
}
private fun CardLoadQueryAscending(title: String) {
var dbManager = DbManagerCard(context!!)
val projections = arrayOf("ID", "CardName", "CardNum")
val selectionArgs = arrayOf(title)
// sort by title
val cursor = dbManager.Query(projections, "CardName like ?", selectionArgs, "CardName")
listCards.clear()
// ascending
if (cursor.moveToFirst()) {
do {
val ID = cursor.getInt(cursor.getColumnIndex("ID"))
val CardName = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex("CardName"))
val CardNum = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex("CardNum"))
listCards.add(Card(ID, CardName, CardNum))
} while (cursor.moveToNext())
}
mAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged()
}
}
I am trying to implement my search view in MainActivity, but I am unable to do. can anyone please give me your valuable suggestions to get my problem solve. thanks in advance.

Answer 1

I have done this, it is quite simple.
Just make your MainActivity own the SearchView. As you already did.
Then make a simple interface
ISearchChangedListener
onTextChanged(newString: String?)
onSearchSubmitted()
Setup your BaseFragment to implement this interface.
Override the implementation in your child fragments of the BaseFragment
Then keep track of mSelectedFragment on PageChanged.
Then you simply call
mSelectedFragment?.onTextChanged(newString)
whenever the parent gets a text changed and handle appropriately.
