How to close a SearchView programmatically on back pressed?

Question

I have the same question which I found here which I will re-iterate because the solution is not 100% exactly what I need:

I currently have a SearchVie

Answer 1

I did it like this in the activity where the SearchView is located

@Override
    public void onBackPressed() {
        super.onBackPressed();
        if (!searchView.isIconified()) {
            searchView.setIconified(true);
        }
    }
