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.

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?

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.

I downloaded google search last night even though we already have it built in, apparently when you go to the market it doesn't show google search as installed nor an update. I installed it and it appears to have updated the built in google search in our phones. I then uninstalled it just to see if it would tell me there was an update and then it did. I thought I would post this so everyone can update their google search. Also don't forget to install/update google voice search while you're at it.

I have implemented a SearchManager which make uses of a searchable.xml with all the settings and put it in the xml/ directory.
I tried to create a new directory called xml_v4/ to add some attributes (the android:includeInGlobalSearch ie) which isn't supported in sdk3/1.5 but the xml directory seems not to be supported by the dir_suffixes.
How do I deal with this?

I was the Android Developer article on Search: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/search/index.html and was wondering if I could add other UI Elements to the searchable.xml file?
Here is what I want to do:
CODE:..................
I wan to provide the gallery as a way to specify what category to search in. Is this possible? If it is, how and where do I access the the user selection for this component? If not, how else might I implement giving a choice to the user to search more specifically?

A quick search didn't turn up anything about this so I thought I'd let you all know.Android Zoom (to whom I'm not affiliated) is a great way to search for apps outside of the apps marketplace. Unlike the native web site, you can search it.

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.

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:..............

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:..............................

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.

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?

I would like to create a search in my app which acts like the map search in the Google Maps app. I have creates an an auto complete text view which updates dynamically based on the results of the Geocoder.GetLocationByName() Method. However the results retrieved from this function are really bad and not at all consistent with the text I pass to it. Is there a better method of doing this to achieve accurate results?

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.

When implementing search in my application, I'm including some search context info depending on the activity where search is invoked. In one of those, I'd like to implement type-to-search as well, but the standard method of adding search context info doesn't work in that case... the onSearchRequested() method in the activity is never called. Is there any way to include search context info in a type-to-search invocation, or am I stuck with only the Search key and menu option?

Before, when I pressed the search button (the one with the magnifying glass) it cued up the google search bar. Now, after theming, the search button does nothing from the homescreen, but does still work while in applications, the browser, the market, etc. I am running launcher pro, deodexed w/ revolution.

I wanted to put this in the droid X section because the default way of searching contacts is horrible. I installed gesture search last night and now one of my few gripes with the phone is solved. I hated having to having to hold the options button to bring up a keyboard and then having to clear my last entry to start another search.

I am attempting to do an IME and am wondering the best way to use the main dictionary for the suggestions to work? Using the User Dictionary is pretty straight forward, but I am not sure how to use the main dictionary. The System IME appears to use BinaryDictionary and a native method to do this? Can I piggy back on this or must I create my own implementation?

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.
