Android :: Need Free App To Adds Lots Of Features To Quick Search Box
Jan 18, 2010
Just wanted to let you all know about my new app. It's called Searchify, it's free, and it hooks in to the Quick Search Box (on Android 1.6 or higher) to let you do all sorts of things. Searching lets you perform translations, calculations, unit conversions, wikipedia searches, calendar entry and more just by typing in searches. Some of the things you can do with it: Unit converter: type a quantity (e.g. "10 pints" or "5 oz") into the search box to see a list of conversions. Calendar entry: Type an event in text (e.g. "tue 3pm meeting" or "tomorrow 3pm - thursday 5am event @ John's") to add it to your calendar. Translator: Type "translate" then a word or phrase in any language to see translations into languages of your choice.

Do the adds in free apps drain your battery? How do they work. Are they always connected to online? Well, i dont have any problems with the apps on my phone because they dont even show up. Does that drain my battery even more? I have a rooted phone and in all my apps that have ads only show some white circle showing that something is loading but no ads show. My battery only lasts 8-12 hours of use. And it sucks.

I'm trying to implement both recent suggestions and custom suggesions in global search in the same application. They both use the same path in the provider so it doesn't seem like it is possible to return different results for them. For example just recent searches for suggestions and real search results in the Quick Search Box.

I'm building the search in an application and need to have a way of putting the suggestions which I get from my server as a JSON-array into the list of suggestions which is displayed below the Quick Search Box. Is there an easy way to have the quick search box read such resources? Currently I am trying to use a ContentProvider, but the interface methods clearly indicate one is supposed to be querying a database to get the suggestions. I guess using a ContentProvider is the correct way if you are searching the data which is stored inside the application. I am not so sure however, that it is the right way if you need to query a network resource.
It makes no sense for me to save the suggestions I get from the network to a local database, as the suggestions and their hit rate will vary from time to time. Anyone had this issue? Or can point me in the direction of a similar question? I could not find questions here on stack that mentioned network suggestions.

I have implemented an activity that retrieves data from a web service and display it in the AutoCompleteTextView. This has been working quite well.I'm interested in displaying a spinning animation while the data is being retrieved (The same effect like the Quick Search Box) I try to figure out how the QSB is doing it (10x Open Source!) but couldn't find any place where the spinner image is being put/set/drawn onto the EditText control.

1. Is it me or have they removed the Search feature in the People app in 2.1? I'm in People, then click Menu and the Search feature was right there; has it been moved or removed? 2. I also responded to another post in a different phone forum about the missing Phone "Favorites" sub-feature in 2.1. Anyone know where that is? You can add a contact from your recently called list to your "Favorites" by hard pressing the contact name, but there's no associated Favorites app to go along with it.

I've been trying to make my app implement the built in quick search, similar to how it is done in ApiDemos' "app/search/invoke search". I have tried everything from trying to follow different examples, to copying the code exactly as it is in ApiDemos. All I've found for the former have been concerned with older versions of the SDK, and simply not worked. As for the stuff that I can actually run and see working in ApiDemos, I've tried copying the following
com.example.android.apis.app.SearchInvoke.java
com.example.android.apis.app.SearchQueryResults.java
com.example.android.apis.app.SearchSuggestionSampleProvider.java
res/layout/search_invoke.xml res/layout/search_query_results.xml
res/values/arrays.xml res/values/strings.xml res/xml/searchable.xml
And everything under "Search Samples" in AndroidManifest.xml
This copying gets me a view that looks exactly like the one I'm facing when running ApiDemos, but when I click the search button, in the quick search box, Android always just opens up a browser window, with Google search results for the given query. I simply cannot find the critical component in ApiDemos that tells android that I want to use my own custom code for handling the search request. Both documentation and other online resources seem very lacking when it comes to this.

What determines the market search result order?
It doesn't seem to be downloads or rating.
The Top free/paid listing does not make much sense either...

I am working on an app that allows sending lots of text messages. I have two questions:-
1) If I send too many messages together (around 80), only about 10 actually go and the rest fail in the first try. Do networks limit how many sms can we send per second or something? Will pausing after every sms help in this case?
2) I believe Android shows a dialog box if we send more than 100 sms in an hour. I am sending SMS from a separate thread. Can Android block that thread if there are too many SMS being sent?

I really like my Evo but I find that some apps have banner adds at the bottom. The apps that do this include Astro, Stocks, Currency, Advanced Task manager Pro, AppBrain. The adds have written: "Adds by AdMob". How did I get these or is this normal? The adds really bother me, especially the religious ones.

I want to write a game for the Market. So where can I get adds for it to earn some money (a page like admob.com for example)? I am searching for an advertising page, where I do not need to do anything and earn the most money. The ad-page has to dynamically change the content of my ads in my program.

I am looking into writing an Android app that has a database of approximately 2000 longitudes and latitudes which are effectively hard coded.I assume that once my app is installed, I can put this information into the SQLite database, but how should I distribute this information when the app is downloaded?One option I thought of was some kind of Patricia Trie to minimize the size of the data (the points will be in a number of clusters, rather than evenly distributed), but I'm not sure whether such a collection would work when there are two associated numbers to store, along with perhaps some other information such as place name.Does anyone have any thoughts, input or suggestions?
