 getdata(devicename, month); // retrieve data `mysql` , load listview          @override          public boolean oncreateoptionsmenu(menu menu) {             // inflate menu; adds items action bar if present.             menuinflater inflater = getmenuinflater();             inflater.inflate(r.menu.create_menu, menu);              return true;         }          @override         public boolean onprepareoptionsmenu(menu menu) {             msearchaction = menu.finditem(r.id.search);             return super.onprepareoptionsmenu(menu);         }          @override         public boolean onoptionsitemselected(menuitem item) {             // handle action bar item clicks here. action bar             // automatically handle clicks on home/up button, long             // specify parent activity in androidmanifest.xml.             switch (item.getitemid()) {                  case r.id.search: // should need add intent ?                     handlemenusearch();                     return true;                  case r.id.add: // create new file                     view menuitemview = findviewbyid(r.id.add);                     popupmenu po = new popupmenu(homepage.this, menuitemview); //for drop-down menu                     po.getmenuinflater().inflate(r.menu.popup_menu, po.getmenu());                     po.setonmenuitemclicklistener(new popupmenu.onmenuitemclicklistener() {                         public boolean onmenuitemclick(menuitem item) {                             //  toast.maketext(mainactivity.this, "you clicked : " + item.gettitle(), toast.length_short).show();                             if ("create new file".equals(item.gettitle())) {                                 intent intent = new intent(homepage.this, information.class);  // go information class                                 startactivity(intent);                              } else if ("edit file".equals(item.gettitle())) {                                 intent intent = new intent(homepage.this, edit.class);                                 startactivity(intent);                             }                             return true;                         }                     });                     po.show(); //showing popup menu              }             return super.onoptionsitemselected(item);         }          protected void handlemenusearch(){             actionbar action = getsupportactionbar(); //get actionbar              if(issearchopened){ //test if search open                  action.setdisplayshowcustomenabled(false); //disable custom view inside actionbar                 action.setdisplayshowtitleenabled(true); //show title in action bar                  //hides keyboard                 inputmethodmanager imm = (inputmethodmanager) getsystemservice(context.input_method_service);                 imm.hidesoftinputfromwindow(edtseach.getwindowtoken(), 0);                  //add search icon in action bar                 msearchaction.seticon(getresources().getdrawable(r.mipmap.search));                  issearchopened = false;             } else { //open search entry                  action.setdisplayshowcustomenabled(true); //enable display                 // custom view in action bar.                 action.setcustomview(r.layout.search_bar);//add custom view                 action.setdisplayshowtitleenabled(false); //hide title                  edtseach = (edittext)action.getcustomview().findviewbyid(r.id.edtsearch); //the text editor                  //this listener search when user clicks on search button                 edtseach.setoneditoractionlistener(new textview.oneditoractionlistener() {                     @override                     public boolean oneditoraction(textview v, int actionid, keyevent event) {                         if (actionid == editorinfo.ime_action_search) {                             dosearch();                             return true;                         }                         return false;                     }                 });                   edtseach.requestfocus();                  //open keyboard focused in edtsearch                 inputmethodmanager imm = (inputmethodmanager) getsystemservice(context.input_method_service);                 imm.showsoftinput(edtseach, inputmethodmanager.show_implicit);                   //add close icon                 msearchaction.seticon(getresources().getdrawable(r.mipmap.search));                  issearchopened = true;             }         }        @override         public void onbackpressed() {             if(issearchopened) {                 handlemenusearch();                 return;             }             super.onbackpressed();         }          private void dosearch() {     //         }       }
