How to disable searchview?

Question

Can you help me on how to disable searchview when button is pressed? I'm trying this code:

searchView.setEnabled(false);
                searchView.setFocusableInTouchMode(false);
                searchView.clearFocus();

but it seems not working. I can still input text in searchview.

Thanks.. :))

val searchEditText: EditText =
        searchView.findViewById(androidx.appcompat.R.id.search_src_text)
    searchEditText.isEnabled=false

This will work
