[SearchView] when the SearchView is collapsed, the soft keyboard would appear when typing

[AndroidDeveloperLB]

Description: Full description of issue here

1. Have a SearchView used in the app. Either run via a mirrored way (using ScrCpy or the IDE), or run on emulator
2. Try to type using the PC's keyboard right on beginning. Nothing occurs, as it should
3. Open the SearchView, and then type. The soft keyboard appears as soon as you open the SearchView (as it should). You might see other issues such as the keyboard going away for some reason (bug!).
4. Now close the SearchView, notice the soft-keyboard also goes away.
5. Again type.

The bug is that the soft-keyboard appears again, as if you can type...

Expected behavior: Screenshots and/or description of expected behavior
The keyboard should stay when I can type to something (and shouldn't close by itself), and it shouldn't appear when I start typing into nothing.

Source code: The code snippet which is causing this issue

override fun onCreateOptionsMenu(menu: Menu): Boolean {
    // Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
    menuInflater.inflate(R.menu.menu_main, menu)
    menu.findItem(R.id.menuItem_search)
        .setOnActionExpandListener(object : OnActionExpandListener {
            override fun onMenuItemActionExpand(item: MenuItem): Boolean {
                Log.d("AppLog", "onMenuItemActionExpand")
                return true
            }

            override fun onMenuItemActionCollapse(item: MenuItem): Boolean {
                Log.d("AppLog", "onMenuItemActionCollapse")
                return true
            }
        })
    return true
}
