How to fix not able to use setOnQueryTextListener in SearchView

I can't use setOnQueryTextListener with my SearchView. Here is my code:

Gradle:

implementation 'androidx.appcompat:appcompat:1.1.0'

menu.xml

<item android:id="@+id/searchView"
          android:title="Action Search"
          app:showAsAction="always"
          app:actionViewClass="androidx.appcompat.widget.SearchView" />

val searchView = menu?.findItem(R.id.searchView)?.actionView
searchView.setOnQueryTextListener

setOnQueryTextListener is highlighted red. I can't seem to find any answer regarding this.

Thanks in advance

Cast it as SearchView. Without cast it is a normal View

//import androidx version of SearchView
import androidx.appcompat.widget.SearchView

//cast actionView as SearchView
val searchView = menu?.findItem(R.id.searchView)?.actionView as SearchView?
searchView?.setOnQueryTextListener
