Setting maxLength for SearchView

Question

Is it possible to limit SearchView input text length? I have added android:maxLength="10" in Menu Item declaration but has no effect.

 <item
    android:id="@+id/app_bar_search"
    android:icon="@drawable/ic_search_white"
    android:title="Search"
    app:actionViewClass="android.support.v7.widget.SearchView"
    app:showAsAction="collapseActionView|ifRoom"
    android:maxLength="10"/>

Answer 1

I can achieved this by using SO one answer in the link suggested by Jyoti JK:

TextView et = (TextView) searchView.findViewById(R.id.search_src_text);
et.setFilters(new InputFilter[]{new InputFilter.LengthFilter(10)});
