Hello i am using android 3.0 search widget(not the search mode), the problem is i need to pass some parameters along with the search word.
Android isn't calling any of these
searchManager.setOnDismissListener( new OnDismissListener() {
@Override
public void onDismiss() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
Log.v(MyApp.TAG, "on dismiss search");
}
});
searchManager.setOnCancelListener( new OnCancelListener() {
@Override
public void onCancel() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
Log.v(MyApp.TAG, "on dismiss cancel");
}
});
@Override
public boolean onSearchRequested() {
Bundle appData = new Bundle();
appData.putLong("listino_id", this.listino_id);
this.startSearch(null, true, appData, false);
return true;
// return super.onSearchRequested();
}
I need my activity to NOT be singleOnTop,
here is my AndroidManifest.xml
<activity android:name=".activity.ListinoProdottiActivity" android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden">
<!-- Receives the search request. -->
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.SEARCH" />
<!-- No category needed, because the Intent will specify this class component-->
</intent-filter>
<!-- enable the base activity to send searches to itself -->
<meta-data android:name="android.app.default_searchable"
android:value=".activity.ListinoProdottiActivity" />
<!-- Points to searchable meta data. -->
<meta-data android:name="android.app.searchable"
android:resource="@xml/searchable" />
</activity>
Here is my searchable.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<searchable xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:label="@string/app_name"
/>
pass data with bundle in Search Widget:
layout/main.xml :
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<TextView android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="@string/hello" />
<Button android:id="@+id/button" android:text="test"

Happly Coding!!!
when querying by searchview ( searchable || searchview widget )
you can pass parameter to searchActivity ( searchResultActivity )
by define your own OnQueryTextListener like this.
searchView.setOnQueryTextListener(new OnQueryTextListener() {
@Override
public boolean onQueryTextChange(String arg0) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
return false;
}
@Override
public boolean onQueryTextSubmit(String query) {
Intent searchIntent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), SearchResultsActivity.class);
searchIntent.putExtra(SearchManager.QUERY, query);
searchIntent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEARCH);
startActivity(searchIntent);
return true;
}
});
Check if you have hard coded strings for android:hint or android:label in res/xml/searchable.xml. They must be string resource ids.
If your calls is syncronic(you perform one search request and waiting for response and don't perform any search request until you got your response) then it's easy.
Just create a helper static class to do it for you.
Some thing like this:
public static Bundle myStaticClass;
.
.
.
myStaticClass.putString(key, value);
callSearch();
.
.
.
afterSearchResponse();
String value = myStaticClass.get(key);
you can use the follow
in Menu
@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.menu_al_ayats, menu);
SearchManager searchManager =
(SearchManager) getSystemService(Context.SEARCH_SERVICE);
SearchView searchView =
(SearchView) menu.findItem(R.id.action_search).getActionView();
Bundle appData = new Bundle();
appData.putString("hello", "world");
searchView.setAppSearchData(appData);
searchView.setSearchableInfo(
searchManager.getSearchableInfo(getComponentName()));
return true;
}
and in your search result activity put the below
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_activity_search_result);
handleIntent(getIntent());
}
private void handleIntent(Intent intent) {
if (Intent.ACTION_SEARCH.equals(intent.getAction())) {
String extrastring=intent.getBundleExtra(SearchManager.APP_DATA).getString("hello");
//use the query to search your data somehow
getSupportActionBar().setTitle(extrastring);
}
}
