The code for changing the background color of SearchView edit text is below

public static void setSearchViewEditTextBackgroundColor(Context context, SearchView searchView, int backgroundColor){
    int searchPlateId = context.getResources().getIdentifier("android:id/search_plate", null, null);
    ViewGroup viewGroup = (ViewGroup) searchView.findViewById(searchPlateId);
    viewGroup.setBackgroundColor(ComponentUtils.getColor(context, backgroundColor));
}

If your action bar background color is white then call the above method as follow.

setSearchViewEditTextBackgroundColor(this, searchView, R.color.white);

Now the underline from SearchView edit text will disappear.
