How to get text query?

[wjsm93]

How can i get the text on the input without submit? Or how can i submit with a Button in the layout?

I need this too. I think there should be these two methods:

String getSearchQuery() void submit()

I need this too - however, it can be done on your own.

Register an onQueryTextChange listener, and in that method, save the search term to a variable.

If you need to submit with your own button, just call:

materialSearchView.setQuery(savedQueryString, true)
