How to detect if user have stopped typing.

Like in SearchView there is this function onQueryTextSubmit(String query) can called when user submits the query. How to do similar thing using this search library ?

[bilthon]

This is what I do:

mSearchView.setOnQueryChangeListener(new FloatingSearchView.OnQueryChangeListener() {
    @Override
    public void onSearchTextChanged(String oldQuery, String newQuery) {
        if(newQuery.length() >= MIN_QUERY_LENGTH){
            query = newQuery;
            mHandler.removeCallbacksAndMessages(null);
            mHandler.postDelayed(mSendQuery, QUERY_DELAY);
        }
    }
});

Basically I schedule a runnable for QUERY_DELAY ms in the future. If the user keeps typing, the following call to onSearchTextChanged will override this and schedule a new one. All of this until he finally stops and the last scheduled runnable is allowed to run with the most up to date query.

Do this

var handler = Handler() mSearchView.setOnQueryChangeListener { oldQuery, newQuery -> if (newQuery.length < 3) mSearchView.clearSuggestions() else { handler.removeCallbacksAndMessages(null) handler.postDelayed({ mPresenter.loadSuggestions(newQuery) }, 500) } }
