Fragments

[SeaRoth]

I'm trying to get this to work with fragments - is that possible?

I'm using MVVM and I declare my onCreateOptionsMenu inside a Fragment instead of an Activity.

I've tried a few tactics but I keep running into errors and I feel like there's something I'm not seeing

bindSearchView is actually an extension function extending either an Activity or ViewGroup. You have two options:

1. Add it in your activity, where you can show and hide it as you wish after binding. This is what I do, as toolbars are typically linked to activities vs fragment.

2. Add it to any general viewgroup. Just make sure you call it from that viewgroup. You may need to manually adjust the menu y offset if your viewgroup doesn't fill your parent.
