Lint warning is triggered when showAsAction always is being used, it should not since there is only one item here that has that value if we follow the lint warning message:

Inspection info:Using showAsAction="always" in menu XML, or MenuItem.SHOW_AS_ACTION_ALWAYS in Java code is usually a deviation from the user interface style guide.Use ifRoom or the corresponding MenuItem.SHOW_AS_ACTION_IF_ROOM instead. If always is used sparingly there are usually no problems and behavior is roughly equivalent to ifRoom but with preference over other ifRoom items. Using it more than twice in the same menu is a bad idea. This check looks for menu XML files that contain more than two always actions, or some always actions and no ifRoom actions. In Java code, it looks for projects that contain references to MenuItem.SHOW_AS_ACTION_ALWAYS and no references to MenuItem.SHOW_AS_ACTION_IF_ROOM. Issue id: AlwaysShowAction

If we follow the lint and use ifRoom together with collapseActionView, the SearchView when expanded will now be also showing along with collapsed menu items. When you click that item it will do nothing and will disappear if you open the collapse menu items again. Now if you collapsed the SearchView via back press its icon will also disappear in the Toolbar. This is clearly an unexplored bug.

The only work around here is to use always so SearchView will not show among collapsed menu items and its icon will not also suddenly in which the lint is disapproving.
