Put this in your fragment

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

}

And you can get the SearchView like follows

@Override
public void onPrepareOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
    MenuItem mSearchMenuItem = menu.findItem(R.id.mi_search);
    SearchView searchView = (SearchView) mSearchMenuItem.getActionView();
}
