Remove text from toolbar while open search view

Issue

I don't want this text while click on search in toolbar.

Below is my menu item.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto">

    <item
        android:id="@+id/action_search"
        android:icon="@drawable/ic_search"
        android:title="@string/search"
        app:actionViewClass="android.widget.SearchView"
        app:showAsAction="always" />

</menu>

This is my onCreateOptionsMenu in Activity

override fun onCreateOptionsMenu(menu: Menu): Boolean {
        menuInflater.inflate(R.menu.search_menu, menu)
        val search = menu.findItem(R.id.action_search)
        val searchView = search.actionView as SearchView
        searchView.queryHint = "Search in everywhere "
        searchView.setOnQueryTextListener(object : SearchView.OnQueryTextListener {
            override fun onQueryTextSubmit(query: String?): Boolean {
                return false
            }
            override fun onQueryTextChange(newText: String?): Boolean {
//                adapter.filter.filter(newText)
                return true
            }
        })
        return super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu)
    }

Very confuse with this. need some help. Thanks in advance for your answer.

Solution

Just add searchView.maxWidth = Integer.MAX_VALUE this line in my code and it work for me.

override fun onCreateOptionsMenu(menu: Menu): Boolean {
        menuInflater.inflate(R.menu.search_menu, menu)
        val search = menu.findItem(R.id.action_search)
        val searchView = search.actionView as SearchView
        
        searchView.maxWidth  = Integer.MAX_VALUE  // add this line to your code.
        
        searchView.queryHint = "Search in everywhere "
        searchView.setOnQueryTextListener(object : SearchView.OnQueryTextListener {
            override fun onQueryTextSubmit(query: String?): Boolean {
                return false
            }
            override fun onQueryTextChange(newText: String?): Boolean {
//                adapter.filter.filter(newText)
                return true
            }
        })
        return super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu)
    }
