How can I programatically hide or suppress the search suggestions list?

Question

How can I programatically hide the list of suggestions that pops up up below the SearchView?

There are times when I'd like the SearchView to not be inconified and to not have focus. I can do this both using the setIconified(false) and the clearFocus() methods respectively, but if the SearchView has any text in it, it will display the list of a search suggestions and I need to hide/suppress that.

Answer 1

searchView.setSuggestionsAdapter(null); did that trick for me.
