Get your search view and add an OnQueryTextListener

final SearchView.OnQueryTextListener queryTextListener = new SearchView.OnQueryTextListener() {
    @Override
    public boolean onQueryTextChange(String newText) {
        // Do something
        return true;
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onQueryTextSubmit(String query) {
        // Do something
        return true;
    }
};

searchView.setOnQueryTextListener(queryTextListener);

By the way my menu layout is as follows;

<item android:id="@+id/menu_search"
    android:showAsAction="ifRoom"
    android:actionViewClass="android.widget.SearchView" />
