I have use this
the onQueryTextSubmit is the method you are looking for.
set setOnQueryTextListener on your search view.
@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu m) {
// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, m);
MenuItem searchItem = m.findItem(R.id.search_name);
searchView = (SearchView) searchItem.getActionView();
searchView.setQueryHint("Search by Name");
searchView.setOnQueryTextListener(new OnQueryTextListener() {
@Override
public boolean onQueryTextChange(String txt) {
//Log.e("onQueryTextChange", "called");
return false;
}
@Override
public boolean onQueryTextSubmit(String query) {
// Do your task here
return false;
}
});
return true;

In the layout set your input method options to search.
<EditText
android:imeOptions="actionSearch"
android:inputType="text"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
/>
In the java add the editor action listener.
editText.setOnEditorActionListener(new TextView.OnEditorActionListener() {
@Override
public boolean onEditorAction(TextView v, int actionId, KeyEvent event) {
if (actionId == EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_SEARCH) {
performSearch();
return true;
}
return false;
}
});
