Answer 1

try

@Override
public void onBackPressed() {

View view = this.getCurrentFocus();
if (view != null) {  
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager)getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(view.getWindowToken(), 0);
}
if (!searchView.isIconified()) {
    searchView.setIconified(true);
} else {
    super.onBackPressed();
}
}
