Searchview In Actionbar Appcompat

In my application, I am using Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar but I am facing a weird problem. I have created SearchView in ActionBar and has set its property app:showAsAction=

Solution 1:

try to change

android:actionViewClass="android.support.v7.widget.SearchView"

by

 app:actionViewClass="android.support.v7.widget.SearchView"

This worked for me
