Search View Icon Change

Question

I implemented SearchView in the toolbar as shown in the image below. Here the search icon is on the right side of the cursor. And he becomes invisible with a hint.

I want to move the search icon on the left side of the cursor, and also should not be invisible with a hint. he should be in that order. [SearchIcon-Cursor-Hint]

I want it to look like this image.

Can anyone help me ... :(

if you use the edittext control, you can do it in edittext as follows:

Android: drawableLeft = "@/"
