MenuItemCompat.getActionView always returns null

by

Finally I found the solution.

  1. Changing namespace of actionViewClass from android:actionViewClass to app:actionViewClass

  2. Implementing android.support.v7.widget.SearchView.OnQueryTextListener interface for current activity.

  3. Directly use setOnQueryTextListener instead of SearchViewCompat.setOnQueryTextListener

    @Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
  MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater();
  inflater.inflate(R.menu.menu, menu);

  MenuItem searchItem = menu.findItem(R.id.action_search);
  SearchView searchView = (SearchView) MenuItemCompat.getActionView(searchItem);
  if (searchView != null) {
     searchView.setOnQueryTextListener(this);
  }

  return super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
}
