Answer 1

I have found that in later (2020) appCompat scenarios I have had trouble changing icon colors, but found this one to work:

(kotlin)

searchItem.icon.colorFilter = BlendModeColorFilterCompat.createBlendModeColorFilterCompat(Color.RED, BlendModeCompat.SRC_ATOP)

Answer 2

 final SearchView searchViewAndroidActionBar = (SearchView) MenuItemCompat.getActionView(searchViewItem);
        // change close icon color
        ImageView iconClose = (ImageView) searchViewAndroidActionBar.findViewById(android.support.v7.appcompat.R.id.search_close_btn);
        iconClose.setColorFilter(getResources().getColor(R.color.grey));
       //change search icon color
        ImageView iconSearch = searchViewAndroidActionBar.findViewById(android.support.v7.appcompat.R.id.search_button);
        iconSearch.setColorFilter(getResources().getColor(R.color.grey));

Answer 3

Use below code:

MenuItem searchItem = menu.findItem(R.id.action_search);
SearchView mSearchView = (SearchView) searchItem.getActionView();
Drawable dr = searchItem.getIcon();
    
dr.setColorFilter(ContextCompat.getColor(this, R.color.colorPrimary), PorterDuff.Mode.SRC_ATOP);

OR:

dr.setColorFilter(BlendModeColorFilterCompat
         .createBlendModeColorFilterCompat(Color.RED, BlendModeCompat.SRC_ATOP));
