I'm trying to implement search functionality in my app, which is very basic at the moment. When I press the search button on my Nexus, the search intent seems to not fire because neither onCreate() nor onNewIntent() gets called. I have basically copied the whole example you can find on Android developers, but it is still not working. Thanks for your help
res/searchable.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<searchable xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:label="hello"
android:hint="Search lectures" >
</searchable>
