Solution
Use MenuItemCompat.setOnActionExpandListener, which is the backport of `OnActionExpandedListener`.
Problem
I am using ActionBarActivity ,How to support searchItem.setOnActionExpandListener in API level 8+ ? It says that minimum API level 14 is required for this. Below is the my code, Currently I’m suppressing the error and allowing the code execution only if the API is >=14 . ``` @SuppressLint("NewApi") public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) { getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.action_bar_home_screen, menu); searchItem = menu.findItem(R.id.action_search); SearchView searchView = (SearchView) MenuItemCompat .getActionView(searchItem); if (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES.ICE_CREAM_SANDWICH) { searchItem.setOnActionExpandListener(new OnActionExpandListener() { @Override public boolean onMenuItemActionExpand(MenuItem item) { hideProgressBar(); return true; } @Override public boolean onMenuItemActionCollapse(MenuItem item) { showProgressBar(); selectItem(lastSelectedItemPosition); return true; } }); } } ```
