View 2 Replies View RelatedI am developing an application that needs to extend the functionality of the android search bar. Basically I need to show a bitmap image for each suggestion. The current implementation of the search bar enables to show resource icons (with Search Manager.SUGGEST_COLUMN_ICON_1 and Search Manager.SUGGEST_COLUMN_ICON_2). I don't see the way to customize the native search dialog. I think it is not a good idea to create my search component. I found an old entry in this group, but it doesn't have any answer (HTTP:// www.mail-archive.com/android-developers@googlegroups.com/msg31090.html). Basically the question is the same: "is the search UI customizable at all"?

I am customizing quick search to display data from my app. Its working fine. Now the issue is, When I click on search button, I am not able to see the search history. What should I do get the search history (previously searched keywords)?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'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.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'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.

View 21 Replies View RelatedJust 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.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI'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.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI 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?
View 1 Replies View RelatedWhen 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?
