Hello, I'm just learning Android and I need a search bar in ActionBarCompat instead of the provided TextView. I had some failed attempts to do that, but now I don't know what to do, so I'm asking you guys: What is the approach to customize the ActionBar with a brand new EditText instead of that TextView, having in the same time access to that EditText from the MainActivity?
Short description of one of my failed attempts: I have tried to define an EditText in the layout/actionbar_compat.xml file and included this layout in the layout/main.xml file, and in this way I had access to the EditText from the MainActivity (with findViewById), but the problem was that there were 2 EditTexts. Can you help me out with this, guys? Thanks! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
