Android :: How To Get Rid If Intermediary Page In Searchable Dictionary-Like App

Jul 27, 2010

I am working on a search app and since I am a beginner, I decided to start from the searchable dictionary sample, which is quite similar to what I'm trying to achieve. Got it to work, but I have a problem: the sample loads a blank page initially, telling the user to press on the search button to start performing a search. Once search is pressed, a new page loads with a search field and button on top, allowing the user to start searching for stuff.

What I want to do is get rid of that intermediary page, so that the search field and button are loaded from the beginning, on the very first screen the app loads when started. Any ideas on how to do this? Detailed instructions/examples would be greatly appreciated, as I am a beginner in Android programming.

Android :: Sources Of Searchable Dictionary V2?

Nov 21, 2010

I have the sample code packages for eclipse installed. On the webpage about Searchable Dictionary v2 http://developer.android.com/resources/samples/SearchableDictionary/i... it is noted that the project source code is contained in the SDK. But the SDK only contains V1 without database usage. Can the souces be downloaded somewhere else?

Android :: Searchable Dictionary Example - Update Search Bar

Sep 18, 2009

For those who are familiar with the search bar this would be a quick answer (hopefully). If you look @ the searchable dictionary example (http://developer.android.com/guide/samples/ SearchableDictionary/index.html) it uses a content provider to populate suggestions. That works great however when I use the navigation keys to focus on certain suggestions this does not update my current search string. And also how is it possible that instead of launching the search straight away, when a person clicks on a suggestion it only replaces the current search query. An example may help better understand the question.

Press Search Use keyboard to enter the letter 'a' in the search box The suggestions "apple" "altogether" "apricot" are shown

I use the down navigation key to get to" apricot", however the text in the search box is still just "a", I want it to become "apricot"

And also when I press apricot on the suggestion I dont want it to launch the intent but rather just replace the text in search box to the text selected, and only actually launch the intent when the user clicks the search button/enter key.

I'm sure its just a value I need to set somewhere but I cant seem to find it in the documentation.

Android :: Alternative Of Iphone's Searchable List?

May 6, 2010

In iPhone, they have got an option of creating such a list which gives them ability to jump to a particular character. see the pic attached

http://www.phonemag.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/iphone_search...

Do we have any such thing in Android?

I can setTextFilterEnabled(true) but that requires the keyboard to be present, while perhaps there now way to implicitly show keyboard on the device as we have in the emulator.

I have tried setFastScrollEnabled(true) it is good, but doesn't let you jump to a particular character.

Android :: Different Hint Strings For Searchable Activities?

Oct 29, 2010

I am supporting search in my app, I'd like to display a unique hint in the search box depending on what activity is being viewed.

To that end, I have a two different searchable.xml files in my xml folder:

CODE:..........

When I reference searchable.xml, everything works as expected. The second searchable xml file has the same contents as the first, but this does not work:

CODE:............

Pressing the search key does not display the search box. If I just reference the first searchable instead, it works fine:

CODE:.....................

Again, both have the same content. It looks like there is a dependency on the name "searchable.xml" within android?

If we're not allowed to have searchables named anything but searchable.xml, how do we specify different hint strings for different activities?

For example:

CODE:..............

Android :: Searchable Activity's Intent.getAction() Null?

Apr 25, 2010

I've followed the SearchManager documentation yet am still having trouble making one of my app's activities searchable. From my activity, the Search dialog appears, I enter a query, hit search, my activity reopens, then I see this in the log:

CODE:.....................

It appears to me that everything is fine up until the last three lines. The "NI" lines are getIntent().toString(), getIntent().getAction(), and getIntent().hasExtra(SearchManager.QUERY) respectively.

ActivityManager appears to be starting my activity with the correct action. Then when my activity starts, it contains no action!? What am I doing wrong?

The relevant portion of my manifest is:

CODE:..............................

Android :: Searchable Calendar That Import 10 Years Of Outlook Data

Sep 25, 2010

I recently bought a DroidX and am looking to import 10 years of Outlook calendar info. I don't need to do a two-way synch as I am using Touchdown for Exchange synchronization and it works great (but it is not good with large calendar history files). I just need a stand-alone calendar app that has it's own data file and can import my Outlook calendar history and allow me to search.

HTC Incredible :: Contact Is No Longer Listed Or Searchable Under People

Sep 13, 2010

I want to use the Favorites App to make it easier to call frequently used numbers. However, I discovered that if I, for instance, put my best friend's cell phone number as a favorite icon I can no longer find his contact to add his home number to a favorites icon. The app seems to allow for only one favorite icon per contact. I am sure I am doing something wrong and there must be a way to have two favorite icons for the same contact but different phone numbers such as home and cell.In addition, sometimes when I add a contact to the Favorites app, the contact is no longer listed or searchable under People. Weird, no?

Jelly Bean :: Browser Reverts Back To Home Page Or Previous Page

Apr 14, 2014

I have the tronsmart CX-919 mini pc running 4.2 and there is an issue with the browser reverting back to the home page or the previous page. When I try to display a webpage on our intranet it reverts back to the homepage or previous page after about 3 hours. I need it to display constantly. I read somewhere that it was a Download Manager issue and disabling it would work but I can't find where to disable it. Also it was stated that Flash was an issue but i tried uninstalling it and it just reinstalled itself and the problem kept occurring. I just want to display a page in a browser and for it to stay on the screen (full screen) until I manually navigate away from it. I plan to leave it on for weeks at a time.

Android :: Loading Google Maps Data Into Searchable Data Structure

Mar 2, 2010

For my CS bachelors I am doing a Senior project using android and google maps.My vision was to do a (relatively) simple Dijkstra shortest path using google maps road data. I was going to add elevation change along with 2D distance. I am doing well playing with maps in android but I am completely stumped trying to access google maps data in any sort of searchable form.How would I go about accessing the data for say intersections of roads (lat/long) in a particular area?There has to be a way to pull that data in some sort of tree form. It seems like it may be possible with kml?Any pointers would be awesome.I want my paths to follow roads but If i cant this is going to turn into an orienteering application fairly fast.

Can I piggy back on this or must I create my own implementation?

Android :: Add A Word To Dictionary For Prediciton

Jul 8, 2009

My mind has just been blown. I consider myself a fairly careful and exploratory user of most things, and Android is no exception - I'd like to think of knowing most its functions, and when people make posts in this forum, I do tend to already know them. But no - my mind was just blown with something so simply that I'm sure i'm behind the curve here. It always annoyed me how difficult it was to add a word to the dictionary for prediciton? Or, not difficult, but time consuming, going into the settings, text and locale, diction, add. The other day I had a moment of brilliance when I realised that long-holding the text box after typing in a word brought up the option (right at the bottom of the list) to add it to the dictionary. This was faster, but still a bit annoying because it took a second to load the dictionary, then you had to click "Add" again. I just realised, however, that if you long-hold a word itself in the text entry box, it just adds it. It comes up saying "saved" and bam, it's done.

I would be looking to include 500 - 1000 entries.
