Searchview which comes with support library has features to change icons

<androidx.appcompat.widget.SearchView
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            app:searchIcon="@drawable/ic_search"
            app:closeIcon="@drawable/ic_close_black"
            app:commitIcon=""
            app:goIcon=""
            app:searchHintIcon=""
            app:voiceIcon=""

Answer 2

This will help you if you want to change color of magnifying glass in Search view. if you use Material theme than this

 ImageView icon = album_search.findViewById(com.google.android.material.R.id.search_button);
        Drawable whiteIcon = icon.getDrawable();
        whiteIcon.setTint(Color.BLACK); //Whatever color you want it to be
        icon.setImageDrawable(whiteIcon);

and if Appcompact theme than just change com.google.android.material.R.id.search_button to android.support.v7.appcompat.R.id.search_button

Thats it

view!!.findViewById<EditText>(
            searchView.context.resources.getIdentifier(
                "android:id/search_src_text",
                null,
                null
            )
        ).apply {
            setTextColor(ContextCompat.getColor(context!!, R.color.darkThemeIconColor))
            setHintTextColor(ContextCompat.getColor(context!!, R.color.colorAccent))
        }

        view!!.findViewById<ImageView>(
            searchView.context.resources.getIdentifier(
                "android:id/search_button",
                null, null
            )
        ).imageTintList = ColorStateList.valueOf(
            ContextCompat.getColor(context!!, R.color.darkThemeIconColor)
        )
        val mDrawable = SearchView::class.java.getDeclaredField("mSearchHintIcon")
        mDrawable.isAccessible = true
        val drawable = mDrawable.get(searchView) as Drawable
        drawable.colorFilter = BlendModeColorFilterCompat.createBlendModeColorFilterCompat(
            ContextCompat.getColor(context!!, R.color.darkThemeIconColor),
            BlendModeCompat.SRC_ATOP
        )
        view!!.findViewById<ImageView>(
            searchView.context.resources.getIdentifier(
                "android:id/search_close_btn",
                null, null
            )
        ).imageTintList = ColorStateList.valueOf(
            ContextCompat.getColor(context!!, R.color.darkThemeIconColor)
        )
        view!!.findViewById<View>(
            searchView.context.resources.getIdentifier(
                "android:id/search_plate",
                null, null
            )
        ).backgroundTintList = ColorStateList.valueOf(
            ContextCompat.getColor(context!!, R.color.darkThemeIconColor)
        )
