Add this below line in your activity.xml file's main layout

<LinearLayout
    ...
    android:focusableInTouchMode="true"
    ...
   >

`SearchView` has focus, but keyboard still appears. – MaaAn13 Mar 09 '18 at 07:41

Add this line in Manifest inside SearchActivity

<activity name=".SearchActivity"
android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden" />

or In Activity onCreate() add

getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_ALWAYS_HIDDEN);

Try this in your SearchActivity in onCreate

 getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_HIDDEN)‌;

add this to your onCreate to hide the kayboard

public void hideSoftKeyboard() {
    if(getCurrentFocus()!=null) {
        InputMethodManager inputMethodManager = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
        inputMethodManager.hideSoftInputFromWindow(getCurrentFocus().getWindowToken(), 0);
    }
}

you used below code to show key board..

    InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
    imm.showSoftInput(searchView, InputMethodManager.SHOW_IMPLICIT);

and close keyboard used this ...

        imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(searchView.getWindowToken(),0);

You gotta hide the softkeyboard after the SearchView gets focus:

search.postDelayed({
        val imm = activity?.getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE) as InputMethodManager
        imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(view?.windowToken, 0)
    }, 100)
