Android Expand SearchView Without Focus (Hide Keyboard)

Show SearchView as expenaded (not icon, but show EditText) but don't focus (don't show keyboard) on activity startup.

Use androidx.appcompat.widget.SearchView
Call MenuItem.expandActionView to expand MenuItem from icon into SearchView.
To prevent focus, call searchView.clearFocus on searchView.doOnLayout (using android-ktx)

import androidx.core.view.doOnLayoutimport androidx.appcompat.widget.SearchViewclass TestSearchViewActivity : AppCompatActivity() {    override fun onCreateOptionsMenu(menu: Menu): Boolean {        menuInflater.inflate(R.menu.testsearchview, menu)        val searchItem = menu.findItem(R.id.action_search)        searchView = searchItem.actionView as SearchView        searchItem.expandActionView()        searchView.doOnLayout {            searchView.clearFocus()        }        return super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu)    }}
