    </style>

Answer 1

1. Create drawable file background.xml with this content:

   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
   <shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
       android:padding="12dp"
       android:shape="rectangle" >
       <solid android:color="#FFFFFF" />
       <stroke
           android:width="0.3dp"
           android:color="#797979" />
   </shape>     
   

2. Add the drawable to the background:

   <android.support.v7.widget.SearchView
       android:background="@drawable/background"
       android:id="@+id/searchView"
       android:layout_height="wrap_content"
       android:layout_marginTop="10dp"
       android:layout_width="300dp" />
