How to Set Searchview Textsize

How to set SearchView TextSize?

You could do these using code

SearchView searchView = new SearchView(context);
LinearLayout linearLayout1 = (LinearLayout) searchView.getChildAt(0);
LinearLayout linearLayout2 = (LinearLayout) linearLayout1.getChildAt(2);
LinearLayout linearLayout3 = (LinearLayout) linearLayout2.getChildAt(1);
AutoCompleteTextView autoComplete = (AutoCompleteTextView) linearLayout3.getChildAt(0);
autoComplete.setTextSize(60);

Here is another solution

SearchView searchView = new SearchView(context);
AutoCompleteTextView search_text = (AutoCompleteTextView) searchView.findViewById(searchView.getContext().getResources().getIdentifier("android:id/search_src_text", null, null));
search_text.setTextColor(Color.WHITE);
search_text.setTextSize(TypedValue.COMPLEX_UNIT_PX, getResources().getDimensionPixelSize(R.dimen.text_small));

Change SearchView TextSize

try this one

you have to pass your SearchView and textSize in this method

private void setSearchviewTextSize(SearchView searchView, int fontSize) {
        try {
            AutoCompleteTextView autoCompleteTextViewSearch = (AutoCompleteTextView) searchView.findViewById(searchView.getContext().getResources().getIdentifier("app:id/search_src_text", null, null));
            if (autoCompleteTextViewSearch != null) {
                autoCompleteTextViewSearch.setTextSize(TypedValue.COMPLEX_UNIT_SP, fontSize);
            } else {
                LinearLayout linearLayout1 = (LinearLayout) searchView.getChildAt(0);
                LinearLayout linearLayout2 = (LinearLayout) linearLayout1.getChildAt(2);
                LinearLayout linearLayout3 = (LinearLayout) linearLayout2.getChildAt(1);
                AutoCompleteTextView autoComplete = (AutoCompleteTextView) linearLayout3.getChildAt(0);
                autoComplete.setTextSize(TypedValue.COMPLEX_UNIT_SP, fontSize);
            }
        } catch (Exception e) {
            LinearLayout linearLayout1 = (LinearLayout) searchView.getChildAt(0);
            LinearLayout linearLayout2 = (LinearLayout) linearLayout1.getChildAt(2);
            LinearLayout linearLayout3 = (LinearLayout) linearLayout2.getChildAt(1);
            AutoCompleteTextView autoComplete = (AutoCompleteTextView) linearLayout3.getChildAt(0);
            autoComplete.setTextSize(TypedValue.COMPLEX_UNIT_SP, fontSize);
        }
    }

update your XML also

<LinearLayout
   android:orientation="horizontal"
   android:layout_width="match_parent"
   android:layout_height="wrap_content"
   android:gravity="center_vertical">
     <SearchView
        android:id="@+id/search_view"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:textSize="12sp"/>
</LinearLayout>

How to change text size in places autocompletefragment in android?

Using fragment instance you can change the font size and whatever you want with the Search box EditText.. this is how you need to do

// placeAutocompleteFragment - is my PlaceAutocompleteFragment instance
((EditText)placeAutocompleteFragment.getView().findViewById(R.id.place_autocomplete_search_input)).setTextSize(10.0f);

UPDATED: 05/26/20

Looks like in latest SDK view id is changed to R.id.places_autocomplete_search_input

Set text color and hint text color to the text in SearchView

I would do this kind of job through the xml layout file. This can be found in the res/layout folder.

You would need to do something similar to the following:

Add this to the parent theme.

<item name="android:editTextColor">@android:color/white</item>

This should change the entered text.

You can also use something like this:

<item name="android:textColorHint">@android:color/white</item>

It will change the hint text for the SearchView.

Hope this helps :)
