How to close a SearchView programmatically on back pressed?

Question

I have the same question which I found here which I will re-iterate because the solution is not 100% exactly what I need:

I currently have a SearchVie

Answer 1

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
    MenuItem menuItemSearch;

    @Override
    protected void onResume() {
      if(menuItemSearch!=null)
        MenuItemCompat.collapseActionView(menuItemSearch);  // while activity begins, searchView is closed if remained open.
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onPrepareOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
      menuItemSearch = menu.findItem(R.id.menuSearch);
    }
}
