The problem is a side effect of the first change. Before the change, CC showed no books in the book list and some text in the search box saying no books were found. It was very clear to the user what happened. Now, a search that finds nothing acts like no search was done (and this is really hard to change) and there is nothing showing in the search box. Without the popup (what android calls a "toast") the user has no way of knowing that the search was attempted, accidentally cancelled, or if CC is simply broken. I don't think that is acceptable.
The search text is left in the search box so the user can edit it and try again. The text stays there even if the search is explicitly cancelled.
One advantage of using a toast is that the user can ignore it. The UI is still fully active. You don't need to hit OK or something like that to proceed.
