search dialog not fully visible - android

Question

I have implemented search dialog in my application, the text box is visible at the top and the magnifying icon is visible next to the cursor even though it has complete text box. Ideally magnifying or search icon (default) should have been at the end of the text box.

Also, when I start typing I don't see the softkeys, and as soon as I start typing using the computer keyboard, the magnifying icon goes away.

Can you please let me know if there is any alignment issue?

Thanks

Main Activity:

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    tools:context=".MainActivity" >

    <TextView
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
        android:layout_centerVertical="true"
        android:text="Hello" />

</RelativeLayout>

searchconfig.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<searchable xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:label="@string/app_name" 
    android:hint="true"
    >

</searchable>

Try to set always|collapseActionView in the showAsAction attribute of your menu item. Example:

<item android:id="@+id/search"
      android:title="Search"
      android:icon="@drawable/ic_menu_search"
      android:showAsAction="always|collapseActionView"
      android:actionViewClass="android.widget.SearchView" />
