ActionBar always expanded SearchView with the icon inside

Question

I have an ActionBar with a SearchView.

I want the search view to always be \"open\" (expanded). Doing that is possible using

mSearchView.setIconifie

You can just intercept OnClose event:

searchView.setOnCloseListener(new SearchView.OnCloseListener() {
    @Override
    public boolean onClose() {
        return true;
    }
});
