You need to change the look of the search, as the default icons of a magnifying glass and a cross are gray and barely visible. The device Lenovo S650 Android 4.4.2 Api 19.

Cross it turned out to change so

int searchCloseId = searchView.getContext().getResources().getIdentifier("android:id/search_close_btn", null, null); ImageView searchClose = (ImageView) searchView.findViewById(searchCloseId); searchClose.setImageResource(R.drawable.ic_clear_white_36dp);

The main magnifying glass icon was changed to

 int searchIconId = searchView.getContext().getResources().getIdentifier("android:id/search_button", null, null); ImageView searchIcon = (ImageView) searchView.findViewById(searchIconId); searchIcon.setImageResource(R.drawable.ic_search_white_36dp);

But this does not change the magnifying glass that appears on the left in hint mode. This code does not help

 int searchIconMagId = searchView.getContext().getResources().getIdentifier("android:id/search_mag_icon", null, null); ImageView searchIconMag = (ImageView) searchView.findViewById(searchIconMagId); searchIconMag.setImageResource(R.drawable.ic_search_white_36dp);

So advised user metalurgus

 ImageView searchIcon = (ImageView)searchView.findViewById(android.support.v7.appcompat.R.id.search_mag_icon); searchIcon.setImageResource(R.drawable.ic_search_white_36dp); //иконка поиска

But says empty searchIcon . Here is the log

At the end of onCreateOptionsMenu, before

 return super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);

add the following

 View searchplate = (View)searchView.findViewById(android.support.v7.appcompat.R.id.search_plate); searchplate.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.texfield_searchview_holo_light); //Ρ„ΠΎΠ½ строки поиска.

  • During the insertion of the icon says NullPointerException Something compatibility, or something. - T. Kudaibergen
