Try this code:

searchView.setOnQueryTextListener(new SearchView.OnQueryTextListener() {
    @Override
    public boolean onQueryTextSubmit(String query) {
       //Here u can get the value "query" which is entered in the search box.
         return true;
        }

    @Override
    public boolean onQueryTextChange(String newText) {
        //This is your adapter that will be filtered
        return false;
    }
});

If you want to take the text from the searchView it's basically the newText from the method onQueryTextChange.

 @Override
    public boolean onQueryTextChange(String newText) {
        //newText is the query you are searching 
        return false;
    }

use this way to get string from searchview:

searchview.setOnQueryTextListener(new SearchView.OnQueryTextListener() {
        @Override
        public boolean onQueryTextSubmit(String query) {
            return false;
        }

        @Override
        public boolean onQueryTextChange(String newText) {
            if(newText.length() >= 1){
                search(newText);
            }
            return false;
        }
    });

Try this

searchView.setOnQueryTextListener(new SearchView.OnQueryTextListener() {
    @Override
    public boolean onQueryTextSubmit(String query) {
        return false;
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onQueryTextChange(String newText) {
        search(newText);
        return false;
    }
});

Instead 

search(searchView.getQuery().toString());
