How to set SearchView TextSize?

android, searchview

Solution

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));

Problem

I have a `SearchView` inside a `LinearLayout` and I'm trying to set a different `TextSize` for it (the `SearchView`) but when setting `android:textSize="60sp"` for example, nothing happens. This is my code: ``` <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:orientation="vertical" android:padding="2dp"> <SearchView android:id="@+id/searchView" android:layout_width="350dp" android:textSize="60sp" android:layout_height="80dp" android:layout_marginTop="15dp"/> <ListView android:id="@+id/search_results" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content"/> ``` Does anyone know how to modify the `TextSize` of the control?
