You can use a drawable for `searchHintIcon` attribute .give it a try. – ADM Mar 20 '18 at 14:57

No sure about this but have a look at [This](https://stackoverflow.com/a/22320059/4168607) . You can then set new icon with `ColorFilter`. – ADM Mar 20 '18 at 15:19

Try with `android.support.v7.appcompat.SearchView` And `ImageView searchIcon = (ImageView)searchView.findViewById(android.support.v7.appcompat.R.id.search_mag_icon);` .. – ADM Mar 20 '18 at 15:27
