title: Customise android search view
body: <p>I have a search view that looks like the following</p>
  
  <p><a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/3H0na.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/3H0na.png" alt="search view"></a> </p>
  
  <p>I want it to resemble the following</p>
  
  <p><a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/rjC25.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/rjC25.png" alt="enter image description here"></a></p>
  
  <p>Following is the code</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;SearchView
      android:id="@+id/search_view"
      android:layout_width="match_parent"
      android:layout_height="wrap_content"
      android:iconifiedByDefault="false"
      android:keyboardNavigationCluster="true"
      android:queryHint="@string/search_teams"
      android:textColor="@color/grey" /&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I want to be able to left align and customize the query hint in the search view by changing the font. By default the text is center aligned, is there any way I can change that?</p>
