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?

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 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 have tried to implement the searchable dictionary sample app. Everything seems to be working except when I try to pull the results from global search. I have tried to follow everything that has been described in the docs too. code...

View 13 Replies View RelatedI 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 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.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am trying to implement search in my application.
My application contain 4 activities and I want to add the search dialog only on 3 of them while only one of them (ProductsActivity) will be the default context.

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

View 4 Replies View RelatedI'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?

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.

Has anyone got a good source for icons that can be used in an application?
I'm thinking of things like pushpins, scope sights, house, car, shop, and other small graphics you might overlay on a map or picture.
Most people just rip them off from the web, but I'm looking for an honest source.
A while ago, I found a website marketplace where you could commission stuff from graphic artists. Does anyone have any links for these? The sort of thing I mean is like this: http://www.graphicster.com/Default.aspx (But those guys haven't got critical mass yet). Or these guys http://www.crowdspring.com/how-it-works/ (but they seem a bit high end).
Is there a way to manage the audio levels through an app? Or is it more dependent on the phone's built in capabilities? Right now at work I listen to a skype audio call from my house (for security) at a very low volume and then at a higher level I listen to music or podcasts, both sources going at the same time. When my dog goes nuts, the door is knocked on, or (in theory) if someone busted down my door, I notice the change in volume and sound, turn off my local media, and focus on what I'm hearing until the drama passes.
I ask because I would like to continue this setup when not at work, like say while running, where I again have earphones in and am normally listening to audio content. I would like to be able to have two pieces of audio: music combined with a skype stream or normal phone call, going at the same time like at work. So is there a way to have two sources going at the same time, with the volume of each independently adjustable? Is this an app thing or a phone thing? Phone will be Sprint Hero.
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?
