Change SearchView back Icon color

Question

Is there a way to change the color of the arrow displayed on a SearchView when its expanded?

I have tried everything with no results.

Answer 1

To change Back Icon color add below attribute in your android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar Toolbar

app:collapseIcon="@drawable/back_arrow"

Also to change close button icon add the following piece of code

ImageView searchClose = searchView.findViewById(android.support.v7.appcompat.R.id.search_close_btn);
searchClose.setImageResource(R.drawable.close);
