I need a SearchView inside a LinearLayout and I have to support API level 7 and higher. Is it possible to use the support-v7 libraries for this? All the questions in here are about using the support-v7 searchview widget in the actionbar. Does anyone know how to use it in the layout? Thanks.

SearchView widget can be implemented over ToolBar/ActionBar or inside a layout. SearchView is by default collapsible and set to be iconified using setIconifiedByDefault(true) method of SearchView class. For making search field visible, SearchView uses setIconifiedByDefault(false) method.
To get text of SearchView , use searchView. getQuery() .
Add the Search View to the App Bar To add a SearchView widget to the app bar, create a file named res/menu/options_menu. xml in your project and add the following code to the file. This code defines how to create the search item, such as the icon to use and the title of the item.
android.widget.SearchView. A widget that provides a user interface for the user to enter a search query and submit a request to a search provider. Shows a list of query suggestions or results, if available, and allows the user to pick a suggestion or result to launch into.
