first of saving querytext in onquerytextsubmit callback means searchquerywill remain empty unless , until user have submitted query search, keep in mind.

secondly try following code. work have tested it.

if(searchquery.length()>0){      //see commented code     //  if(utils.hasicecreamsandwich()) {     //      searchmenuitem.expandactionview();     //  }else {     //      menuitemcompat.expandactionview(searchmenuitem);     //  }      menuitemcompat.expandactionview(menuitem);     searchview.setquery(searchquery, false); }
