I have one header layout looks like this.
Now on on the very next of the right side of the button i want to add this image 
and try to used the Collapsible SearchView without using action bar means i want to apply the same effect of action bar search view on my layout header. 
More over I also want to remove the Name and icon of the app which comes above the header.
Any Idea how to achieve this??
your help/suggestions will be appreciated...
Thanks in advance...
