Try this   First in your searchable xml the fields  name and hint etc  put  string and not literal strings   Then method onCreateOptionsMenu  it must have a ComponentName object with your package name and your completed class name  with package name  - In case  activity which has the SearchView component is the same as the show search results use getComponentName    as the google android developer says   I tried a lot of solutions and after much much work this solution works for me

Above answers are also correct  I just want to give a brief that there s two ways to hide the keyboard when starting the activity  from manifest xml   eg    lt activity            android windowSoftInputMode  stateHidden               gt     The above way always hide it when entering the activity    or    lt activity            android windowSoftInputMode  stateUnchanged               gt     This one says don t change it  e g  don t show it if it isn t already shown  but if it was open when entering the activity  leave it open

If you don t want to use xml  make a Kotlin Extension to hide keyboard     In onResume  call this myView hideKeyboard    fun View hideKeyboard         val inputMethodManager   context getSystemService INPUT METHOD SERVICE  as InputMethodManager     inputMethodManager hideSoftInputFromWindow windowToken  0      Alternatives based on use case   fun Fragment hideKeyboard         view  let   activity  hideKeyboard it       fun Activity hideKeyboard            Calls Context hideKeyboard     hideKeyboard currentFocus    View this      fun Context hideKeyboard view  View        view hideKeyboard       How to show soft keyboard  fun Context showKeyboard        Or View showKeyboard       val inputMethodManager   context getSystemService INPUT METHOD SERVICE  as InputMethodManager     inputMethodManager toggleSoftInput SHOW FORCED  HIDE IMPLICIT ONLY      Simpler method when simultaneously requesting focus on an edittext  myEdittext focus    fun View focus         requestFocus       showKeyboard       Bonus simplification   Remove requirement for ever using getSystemService  Splitties Library     Simplifies above solution to just inputMethodManager hideSoftInputFromWindow windowToken  0
