Then post the code that you have tried, describe what you observe, and explain why what you observe isn't what you expect. – Bryan Herbst Mar 21 '14 at 15:44

i did the same adding in styles.xml:
<style name="MyTheme" parent="Theme.Sherlock">
<item name="searchViewCloseIcon">@drawable/my_close_icon</item>
<item name="searchViewSearchIcon">@drawable/my_search_icon</item>
<item name="searchAutoCompleteTextView">@style/searchTextView</item>
</style>
<style name="searchTextView" parent="Widget.Sherlock.SearchAutoCompleteTextView">
<item name="android:textColor">@android:color/black</item>
<item name="android:textColorHint">@android:color/red</item>
</style>
