Why doesn't onQueryTextChange start when double clicked?

I have a onQueryTextChangelistener on mySearchView.

searchView.setOnQueryTextListener(new SearchView.OnQueryTextListener() {
        @Override
        public boolean onQueryTextSubmit(String searchString) {
            return true;
        }

        @Override
        public boolean onQueryTextChange(String s) {
            if (s.length() > 5) {
                searchView.setQuery(s.substring(0, 5), false);
            }
            return false;
        }
    });

My goal is to limit the number of characters to 5. The problem is that

  • I type 5 characters.
  • After that, I type another character.
  • I click the same character again, and in the second hit it does not start the listener, and it shows the 6th character in SearchView

thanks for the help

Instead of restricting the listener, I decided to get EditTextin SearchView.

I used this method to get EditText, but it returned null,

searchView = (SearchView) MenuItemCompat.getActionView(searchItem);
int id = searchView.getContext().getResources().getIdentifier("android:id/search_src_text", null, null);
EditText etSearchView = (EditText) searchView.findViewById(id);
etSearchView.setFilters(new InputFilter[] {new InputFilter.LengthFilter(5)});

Instead of getting idfrom EditText, I just passed its actual id and it worked,

searchView = (SearchView) MenuItemCompat.getActionView(searchItem);
EditText etSearchView = (EditText) searchView.findViewById(R.id.search_src_txt);
etSearchView.setFilters(new InputFilter[] {new InputFilter.LengthFilter(5)});
