Using androidx.appcompat.widget.SearchView + LiveData + ViewModel :

searchView.setOnQueryTextListener(object: SearchView.OnQueryTextListener {
    override fun onQueryTextSubmit(query: String?): Boolean {
        viewModel.setSearchQuery(query)
        return true
    }
    override fun onQueryTextChange(newText: String?): Boolean {
        if(searchView.isIconified || !isVisible) {
            // Don't call setSearchQuery when SearchView is collapsing/collapsed
            return true
        }
        viewModel.setSearchQuery(newText)
        return true
    }
})
