SearchView in ActionBarSherlock <p>I'm using the SearchView widget in ActionbarSherlock as a follows:</p> <p><strong>File.java</strong></p> <pre><code>public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) { MenuInflater inflater = getSupportMenuInflater(); inflater.inflate(R.menu.main, menu); SearchManager searchManager = (SearchManager)getSystemService(Context.SEARCH_SERVICE); SearchView searchView = (SearchView) menu.findItem(R.id.MenuSearch).getActionView(); searchView.setSearchableInfo(searchManager.getSearchableInfo(getComponentName())); searchView.setIconifiedByDefault(true); searchView.setSubmitButtonEnabled(true); return true; } </code></pre> <p><strong>File.xml</strong></p> <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?&gt; &lt;menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"&gt; &lt;item android:id="@+id/MenuSearch" android:title="@string/Bs" android:icon="@drawable/ic_action_search" android:showAsAction="always|withText" android:actionViewClass="com.actionbarsherlock.widget.SearchView" &gt; &lt;/item&gt; &lt;/menu&gt; </code></pre> <p>In my application I get to show the search icon and select it unfolds the search box for the widget, but when I write any search I do not know how to interact with the widget SearchView to launch a new activity and show a series of results.</p> <p>With the command <code>searchView.setSubmitButtonEnabled(true);</code> appears a icon similar to 'play' and I suppose it is for just that, but I do not know how to interact with it.</p> <p>Can anyone help?</p>
