Android TV - SearchBar focus

I use custom search screen in my tv app, and my problem is that I can't set the focus on SearchBar view when starting the fragment. I've tried the following approaches :

mSearchBar.setFocusable(true);
mSearchBar.requestFocus();

also tried in xml

<android.support.v17.leanback.widget.SearchBar
    android:id="@+id/search_view"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:clipChildren="false"
    android:focusable="true">
    <requestFocus />
</android.support.v17.leanback.widget.SearchBar>

and this 

mSearchBar.setSearchQuery("");

nothing of above set the focus for SearchBar

If you are talking about Leanback's SearchFragment, then try this in your search activity:

searchEditText = (SearchEditText) findViewById(R.id.lb_search_text_editor);
searchEditText.requestFocus();
