Usage

In your dependencies, add

     compile 'com.github.arimorty:floatingsearchview:2.1.1'

Add a FloatingSearchView to your view hierarchy, and make sure that it takes up the full width and height of the screen
Listen to query changes and provide suggestion items that implement SearchSuggestion

Example:

       <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
noLeftAction

Listen to hamburger button clicks:

 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() { ... });

Configure menu items:

Add a menu resource

    app:floatingSearch_menu="@menu/menu_main"

In the menu resource, set items' app:showAsAction="[insert one of the options described in the table below]"

never	Puts the menu item in the overflow options popup
ifRoom	Shows an action icon for the menu if the following conditions are met: 1. The search is not focused. 2. There is enough room for it.
always	Shows an action icon for the menu if there is room, regardless of whether the search is focused or not.

Listen for item selections

   mSearchView.setOnMenuItemClickListener(new FloatingSearchView.OnMenuItemClickListener() {
      @Override
      public void onMenuItemSelected(MenuItem item) {                  
            
      }
   });

Configure suggestion item:

First, implement SearchSuggestion

Optional:

Set a callback for when a given suggestion is bound to the suggestion list.

For the history icons to show, you would need to implement this. Refer to the sample app for an example implementation.

   mSearchView.setOnBindSuggestionCallback(new SearchSuggestionsAdapter.OnBindSuggestionCallback() {
            @Override
            public void onBindSuggestion(View suggestionView, ImageView leftIcon, TextView textView, SearchSuggestion item, int itemPosition) {

                       //here you can set some attributes for the suggestion's left icon and text. For example,
                       //you can choose your favorite image-loading library for setting the left icon's image. 
            }

        });

Styling:

           <item name="floatingSearch_viewSuggestionItemTextColor"></item>
           <item name="floatingSearch_hintTextColor"></item>
           <item name="floatingSearch_dividerColor"></item>
           <item name="floatingSearch_clearBtnColor"></item>
           <item name="floatingSearch_leftActionColor"></item>
           <item name="floatingSearch_menuItemIconColor"></item>
           <item name="floatingSearch_suggestionRightIconColor"></item>
           <item name="floatingSearch_actionMenuOverflowColor"></item>
   </style>

RxBinding Extension

The RxBinding library allows you to listen for query changes using RxJava Obervables.

Observable<CharSequence> queryObservable = RxFloatingSearchView.queryChanges(view);
queryObservable.doOnNext { query -> Toast.makeText(this, "Query is %s".format(query), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show() }.subscribe();

The Kotlin Extension

The Kotlin extension adds an extension function to the view for more goodness.

view.queryChanges(5).doOnNext { query -> Toast.makeText(this, "Query is %s".format(query), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show() }.subscribe()
