Styling a SearchView in Android Action Bar

by

I have been spending many time for this but finally: 🙂

  1. To change the text color :
((EditText)searchView.findViewById(android.support.v7.appcompat.R.id.search_src_text)).setTextColor(Color.WHITE);

or this one for AndroidX:

((EditText)searchView.findViewById(androidx.appcompat.R.id.search_src_text)).setTextColor(Color.WHITE);
  1. To change the text hint:
((EditText)searchView.findViewById(android.support.v7.appcompat.R.id.search_src_text)).setHintTextColor(Color.WHITE);

or this one for AndroidX:

((EditText)searchView.findViewById(androidx.appcompat.R.id.search_src_text)).setHintTextColor(Color.WHITE);
