When the visibility of a menu item is set to false, it leaves blank space

Question

I have a function where I need the menu item to appear when the searchView expands and disappears when the searchView closes. I have setVisible as false for the element when it is expanded, it makes the menu item disappear when the searchView returns to the routine state, but leaves empty space.

Is there an option in which the searchView icon can return to its original location?

SearchManager searchManager =(SearchManager)getSystemService(Context.SEARCH_SERVICE);
    final MenuItem menuitem=menu.findItem(R.id.action_search);
    final MenuItem locationitem=menu.findItem(R.id.action_location).setVisible(false);
    SearchView searchView = (SearchView) menuitem.getActionView();
    if(null!=searchManager ) {
        searchView.setSearchableInfo(searchManager.getSearchableInfo(getComponentName()));
    }
    searchView.setIconifiedByDefault(true);   //if using on actionbar
    searchView.setClickable(true);
    searchView.setOnSuggestionListener(new SearchView.OnSuggestionListener() {
        @Override
        public boolean onSuggestionClick(int position) {
            // Your code here
            return true;
        }

        @Override
        public boolean onSuggestionSelect(int position) {
            // Your code here
            return true;
        }
    });
    searchView.setOnQueryTextListener(new SearchView.OnQueryTextListener() {
        @Override
        public boolean onQueryTextSubmit(String s) {
            return false;
        }

        @Override
        public boolean onQueryTextChange(String s) {
            populateAdapter(s);
            return false;
        }
    });
    searchView.addOnLayoutChangeListener(new View.OnLayoutChangeListener() {
        @Override
        public void onLayoutChange(View v, int left, int top, int right, int bottom, int oldLeft, int oldTop, int oldRight, int oldBottom) {
            SearchView searchView = (SearchView) v;
            if (searchView.isIconified()) {

                locationitem.setVisible(false);

                Log.d("Trial","Working!!");
                fr=new Fragment_Two();
                FragmentManager fm=getFragmentManager();
                FragmentTransaction ft=fm.beginTransaction();
                ft.replace(R.id.fragmentswitcher,fr);
                ft.commit();
            }
            else{
                locationitem.setVisible(true);
                Log.d("Trial","Working too!!");
                MenuItemCompat.setShowAsAction(menuitem, MenuItemCompat.SHOW_AS_ACTION_ALWAYS);
                MenuItemCompat.setShowAsAction(locationitem, MenuItemCompat.SHOW_AS_ACTION_ALWAYS);
                fr=new Fragment_One();
                FragmentManager fm=getFragmentManager();
                FragmentTransaction ft=fm.beginTransaction();
                ft.replace(R.id.fragmentswitcher,fr);
                ft.commit();
                View newView=fr.getView();

            }
        }
    });
