public class snacks extends activity {       @override     protected void oncreate(bundle savedinstancestate) {         super.oncreate(savedinstancestate);         setcontentview(r.layout.activity_snacks);                  getactionbar().setbackgrounddrawable(new colordrawable(color.parsecolor("#33b5e5")));                  getactionbar().settitle("snacks");                  getactionbar().seticon(r.drawable.ic_launcher);                  getactionbar().sethomebuttonenabled(true);  }     @override     public boolean oncreateoptionsmenu(menu menu) {         getmenuinflater().inflate(r.menu.activity_main_actions, menu);          menuitem searchmenuitem = menu.finditem(r.id.action_search);          searchview searchview = (searchview) menuitemcompat.getactionview(searchmenuitem);          searchview.seticonified(true);          int searchimgid = getresources().getidentifier("android:id/search_button", null, null);         imageview searchimg = (imageview) searchview.findviewbyid(searchimgid);         searchimg.setimageresource(r.drawable.ic_action_search);          int searchdeleteimgid = getresources().getidentifier("android:id/search_close_btn", null, null);         imageview searchdeleteimg = (imageview) searchview.findviewbyid(searchdeleteimgid);         searchdeleteimg.setimageresource(r.drawable.ic_action_delete);          int searchsrctextid = getresources().getidentifier( "android:id/search_src_text", null, null);         edittext searchedittext = (edittext) searchview.findviewbyid(searchsrctextid);         searchedittext.settextcolor(color.white);         searchedittext.sethinttextcolor(color.ltgray);         searchedittext.sethint("search here");          searchview.setonquerytextlistener(new searchview.onquerytextlistener() {              @override             public boolean onquerytextsubmit(string s) {                 toast.maketext(getapplicationcontext(), "entered keyword " + s,toast.length_long).show();                 return true;             }              @override             public boolean onquerytextchange(string s) {                 return false;             }         });          return true;     }   } 

activity_main_actions.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >      <item         android:id="@+id/action_search"         android:actionviewclass="android.widget.searchview"         android:icon="@drawable/ic_action_search"         android:showasaction="always"         android:title="search"/>     <item android:id="@+id/action_contact"            android:title="contacts"           android:showasaction="always"/>      <item android:id="@+id/settings"            android:title="contacts"           android:showasaction="never"/>   </menu>  

styles.xml

    <!--         base application theme, dependent on api level. theme replaced         appbasetheme res/values-vxx/styles.xml on newer devices.     -->     <style name="appbasetheme" parent="android:theme.light">         <!--             theme customizations available in newer api levels can go in             res/values-vxx/styles.xml, while customizations related             backward-compatibility can go here.         -->     </style>      <!-- application theme. -->     <style name="apptheme" parent="appbasetheme">         <!-- customizations not specific particular api-level can go here. -->     </style>  </resources> 

but when run program got this:-- here,the appname snacks not showing..and when click searchview got:--

this searchview expanded over. wrong in code cannot achieveing requirement..

there setmaxwidth(int maxpixels) method can use on searchview.

    searchview.setmaxwidth(100); 

try different sizes, not sure enough :)

also if contacts button isn't required there time switch in xml for

<item android:id="@+id/action_contact" android:title="contacts" android:showasaction="ifroom"/>
