How can I hear when the user presses the submit button on a SearchView but the user has not entered any text

Hello I am trying to know when the user hits the search/submit button on a searchView but they have not entered any text. I am aware I can use setOnQueryTextListener but this will only get called if the user enters some text. If you have any ideas please let me know. Thank you!!

verify the length of the text entered like this: 

searchView.setOnQueryTextListener(new SearchView.OnQueryTextListener() {
     @Override
     public boolean onQueryTextSubmit(String key) {
     if(key.length()>2){//if the text to search more then 2 caracter
     //user hit the search button, do your search
    }
     return false;}

 @Override
  public boolean onQueryTextChange(String s) {
  // user is typing ...
   return false;
    }
            });
