How do I programmatically hide or suppress the list of search suggestions?
How do I programmatically hide the list of suggestions that pop up below SearchView?
Sometimes I want SearchView not to be confused and has no focus. I can do this using the setIconified(false) and clearFocus() methods respectively, but if there is any text in the SearchView, it will show a list of search suggestions and I need to hide/suppress it.
Solution
searchView.setSuggestionsAdapter(null); Did that trick for me.
