Answer 1

There is an Activity callback for when search is activated. onSearchRequested()

For the dismiss/cancel of the search widget, you can add listeners via the SearchManager:

• SearchManager.OnCancelListener
• SearchManager.OnDismissListener

Get a reference to your SearchManager with:

context.getSystemService(Context.SEARCH_SERVICE)

see getSystemService()

Answer 2

When using the Search Widget you can use the OnActionExpandListener on the associated action bars menu item. This also works great with the AppCompat Support Library for API versions below 14.

The OnActionExpandListener has two methods:

• onMenuItemActionCollapse
• onMenuItemActionExpand

See some code example below:

SearchManager searchManager = (SearchManager) getSystemService(Context.SEARCH_SERVICE);

    MenuItem searchItem = menu.findItem(R.id.action_search);

    MenuItemCompat.setOnActionExpandListener(searchItem, new MenuItemCompat.OnActionExpandListener(){

        @Override
        public boolean onMenuItemActionCollapse(MenuItem item) {
            KLog.i(TAG, "onMenuItemActionCollapse");
            return true;
        }

        @Override
        public boolean onMenuItemActionExpand(MenuItem item) {
            KLog.i(TAG, "onMenuItemActionExpand");
            return true;
        }

    });

    mSearchView = (SearchView) MenuItemCompat.getActionView(searchItem);

    mSearchView.setSearchableInfo(searchManager.getSearchableInfo(getComponentName()));

In case you do not use the Support Library use the OnActionExpandListener on the menu item directly.
