Answer 1

If you are using search dialog you can do something like this for Kotlin

override fun onOptionsItemSelected(item: MenuItem): Boolean {
    val id = item.itemId

    return if (id == R.id.search_button) {
        val searchManager = this.getSystemService(Context.SEARCH_SERVICE) as SearchManager
        searchManager.setOnDismissListener {
            // return the activity to the normal state
        }
        // set activity to search state then request search
        onSearchRequested()
    } else super.onOptionsItemSelected(item)

}
