I have developed a basic program where it has list(recycler view) and you can search from it. But, the issue i encountered is when i tried to integrate a search feature. When trying to find the id of the search view, my app crashes. I also tried to use EditText, but it encountered same problem. The line searchViewHx = findViewById(R.id.searchHx) is the one that error

I made sure, the search view is on the correct xml layout file and made sure Im using the right id of the search view. I imported the needed class and tried using edit text, to see if it has same problem.

What kind of error you’re getting?
Most likely like this:
If so, it’s because you used
androidx.appcompat.widget.SearchView
in your XML layout but importedandroid.widget.SearchView
. Change the import in your class and it should work.
