Android - Make whole search bar clickable

Question

I am using a search-view element in my fragment to implement search feature.

Answer 1

Use This

searchView.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener()
    {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v)
        {
            searchView.onActionViewExpanded();
            OR
            searchView.setIconified(false);
        }
    });

    searchView.setOnQueryTextFocusChangeListener(new View.OnFocusChangeListener()
    {
        @Override
        public void onFocusChange(View view, boolean b)
        {
            if(!b)
            {
                if(searchView.getQuery().toString().length() < 1)
                {
                    searchView.setIconified(true); //close the search editor and make search icon again
                    OR
                    searchView.onActionViewCollapsed();
                }

                searchView.clearFocus();

            }
        }
    });
