Search does not respond when you click on the AppCompat toolbar

Question

I am writing such code, but it does not work.

I just inflate the menu in java, nothing more.

I am using a toolbar (v7) instead of an actionBar.

Any problem here?

(There is no Clicked effect.)

<item android:id="@+id/action_search" android:title="Search" android:icon="@drawable/abc_ic_search_api_mtrl_alpha" app:showAsAction="always|collapseActionView" app:theme="@style/MySearchViewStyle" app:actionViewClass="android.support.v7.widget.SearchView" /> 

Answer 1

Try it. Because it works for me ...

 <menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"> <item android:id="@+id/action_search" android:icon="@android:drawable/ic_menu_search" app:showAsAction="always" app:actionViewClass="android.support.v7.widget.SearchView" android:title="Search"/> </menu>
