I am using Toolbar search widget in my project. Everything works fine but expect the thing which I am completely stuck up with removing the underline below search field in my toolbar. I have tried many solutions and nothing works out. Below are the some of the solutions what i tried.
Requirement is to remove white underline in the image
Ist Solution:
//Removing underline
int searchPlateId = searchView.getContext().getResources().getIdentifier("android:id/search_plate", null, null);
View searchPlate = searchView.findViewById(searchPlateId);
if (searchPlate!=null) {
searchPlate.setBackgroundColor (Color.TRANSPARENT);
int searchTextId = searchPlate.getContext ().getResources ().getIdentifier ("android:id/search_src_text", null, null);
}
IInd Solution:
EditText searchEdit = ((EditText)searchView.findViewById(android.support.v7.appcompat.R.id.search_src_text));
searchEdit.setBackgroundColor(Color.TRANSPARENT);
The above code works to change the background of EditText but still underline is displaying below close icon in SearchBar.
Complete code that I am using for SearchBar widget as follows:
@Override
public void onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu, MenuInflater infl) {
super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu, infl);
MenuInflater inflater = getActivity().getMenuInflater();
inflater.inflate(R.menu.action_search, menu);
final SearchView searchView = (SearchView) MenuItemCompat
.getActionView(menu.findItem(R.id.search));
SearchManager searchManager = (SearchManager) getActivity ().getSystemService (getActivity ().SEARCH_SERVICE);
searchView.setSearchableInfo (searchManager.getSearchableInfo (getActivity ().getComponentName ()));
//changing edittext color
EditText searchEdit = ((EditText)searchView.findViewById(android.support.v7.appcompat.R.id.search_src_text));
searchEdit.setTextColor(Color.WHITE);
}
action_search.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:compat="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto">
<item android:id="@+id/search"
android:title="Search"
android:icon="@drawable/abc_ic_search_api_mtrl_alpha"
compat:showAsAction="ifRoom|collapseActionView"
compat:actionViewClass="android.support.v7.widget.SearchView" />
</menu>

If you are using SearchView then use for API below 21
android:queryBackground="@android:color/transparent"
you can use below code if you are using API 21 or more
app:queryBackground="@android:color/transparent"
