       <com.arlib.floatingsearchview.FloatingSearchView
                android:id="@+id/floating_search_view"
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="match_parent"
                app:floatingSearch_searchBarMarginLeft="@dimen/search_view_inset"
                app:floatingSearch_searchBarMarginTop="@dimen/search_view_inset"
                app:floatingSearch_searchBarMarginRight="@dimen/search_view_inset"
                app:floatingSearch_searchHint="Search..."
                app:floatingSearch_suggestionsListAnimDuration="250"
                app:floatingSearch_showSearchKey="false"
                app:floatingSearch_leftActionMode="showHamburger"
                app:floatingSearch_menu="@menu/menu_main"
                app:floatingSearch_close_search_on_keyboard_dismiss="true"/>

  mSearchView.setOnQueryChangeListener(new FloatingSearchView.OnQueryChangeListener() {
              @Override
              public void onSearchTextChanged(String oldQuery, final String newQuery) {

                  //get suggestions based on newQuery

                  //pass them on to the search view
                  mSearchView.swapSuggestions(newSuggestions);
              }
          });

Left action mode:

The left action can be configured as follows:

Add

   app:floatingSearch_leftActionMode="[insert one of the options from table below]"

showHamburger
showSearch
showHome

 mSearchView.setOnLeftMenuClickListener(
        new FloatingSearchView.OnLeftMenuClickListener() { ...} );

To quickly connect your NavigationDrawer to the hamburger button:

   mSearchView.attachNavigationDrawerToMenuButton(mDrawerLayout);

Listen to home (back arrow) button clicks:

  mSearchView.setOnHomeActionClickListener(
         new FloatingSearchView.OnHomeActionClickListener() { ... });
