How to remove underline in an Query Text of a SearchView in AppBarLayout Android

Question

I'm using AppBarLayout search widget in my app. Everything works fine but I'm completely stuck up with removing the underline below search field in my AppBarLayout.

The following was nonsense code. It did not resolve...

findViewById<View>(R.id.search_plate).setBackgroundColor(ContextCompat.getColor(context, android.R.color.white))

v.setBackgroundColor(Color.parseColor("Colour code"));

My answer is late but i hope it helps anyone use the next line to find the search_plate

findViewById<View>(androidx.appcompat.R.id.search_plate)

but make sure that you are using androidx.appcompat.widget.SearchView in your xml and your activity otherwise you will get Null Exception
