Answer 1

In case you are using an EditText inside Toolbar, adding "flagNoExtractUi" in imeOptions , will solve the stretching edit area.

EditText for Search Action without stretching:

android:id="@+id/toolbar_editText"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:inputType="text"
android:imeOptions="actionSearch|flagNoExtractUi"
android:singleLine="true" />
