Android - Make whole search bar clickable

Question

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

Answer 1

in code:

private void initSearchView(View layout) {

    // Locate the EditText in listview_main.xml
    searchInput = (SearchView) layout.findViewById(R.id.search);
    //searchInput.onActionViewExpanded();//force show keyboard at start

    //==>region to enable search after click in input-text(not only at magnifier icon)
    searchInput.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            searchInput.onActionViewExpanded();
        }
    });

    searchInput.setOnQueryTextFocusChangeListener(new View.OnFocusChangeListener() {
        @Override
        public void onFocusChange(View view, boolean b) {
            if (!b) {
                if (searchInput.getQuery().toString().length() < 1) {
                    searchInput.setIconified(true); 
                }

                searchInput.clearFocus();

            }
        }
    });
    //endregion

}

and in my layout:
