I am using following code to start activity when user pressing search button on the handset

@Override
public boolean onKeyUp(int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
    if(keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_SEARCH){
        Util.startActivity(ReviewsDetail.this, KeywordSearch.class);
        return false;
    }else{
        return super.onKeyUp(keyCode, event); 
    }
}

But here are few issues with it please look at the following image.

When click on the back button displays empty actiivty alt text

 @Override
 public boolean onSearchRequested() {

     // your logic here

     return false;  // don't go ahead and show the search box
