Answer 1

You can use android:layout_centerInParent="true" to put searchview in center

<item  android:id="@+id/action_search"
    android:layout_centerInParent="true"
    android:actionViewClass="android.widget.SearchView"
    android:icon="@drawable/search_main"
    android:iconifiedByDefault="false"
    android:title="Search"/>
