Android collapseActionView not showing icon

All I want is for the Icon to appear in the Search MenuItem in my application and expand when clicked. Note that this is a snippet using v7 appCompat version 20. +. I have minSDKVersion 14, target 19, compiled version 19.

Here is my menu information.

<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
      xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
      xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
      tools:context="com.test.testapp.fragment.LibraryFragment">

    <item 
        android:id="@+id/action_search"
        android:title="@string/action_search"
        app:icon="@drawable/ic_action_search"
        app:showAsAction="ifRoom|collapseActionView"
        app:actionViewClass="android.support.v7.widget.SearchView"
        android:actionViewClass="android.support.v7.widget.SearchView"
        />

    <!-- Other menu items -->
</menu>

However, every time I launch the application, I see that the button displays as “SEARCH” (title text), and not an icon! Any ideas?

The attribute iconmust have a prefix androidinstead app, since it is not part of the support library.
