Remove icon/title for actionbar with expanded SearchView?

Question

I created a new project, targeting api 11 and above. I have an activity where I want a SearchView expanded by default:

@Override
public void onCreateOptionsM         


        

Answer 1

I could not get @Vikram's awnser to work, but I found that another answer from Stack Overflow:

Open your styles.xml file and add below codes in your Actionbar style

showHome|homeAsUp|showTitle
showHome|homeAsUp|showTitle
@android:color/transparent <--this do the magic!

p/s: I'm using Actionbar Sherlock and this works just fine
