There currently exists some built-in BindingAdapters for SearchView -

https://android.googlesource.com/platform/frameworks/data-binding/+/3b920788e90bb0abe615a5d5c899915f0014444b/extensions/baseAdapters/src/main/java/android/databinding/adapters/SearchViewBindingAdapter.java

However, unlike most other widgets, the platform version of SearchView does not extend off the AndroidX version of SearchView. This means that for most apps that use AndroidX widgets, they cannot use any of the built-in BindingAdapters without switching to the platform version of SearchView.

The current solution would be to copy-and-paste the BindingAdapter file into our own apps and make it use the AndroidX version of SearchView.

The ideal solution would be for the framework to provide a *Compat version of the Binding Adapters, similar to how it does this for SwitchBindingAdapter and SwitchCompatBindingAdapter.

Thank you!

Hey Yigit, if I understand this correctly, this bug should be routed to someone on the platform team, right?
