Android: how to declare an activity as main and se

问题:

I would like my main activity to be searchable also but when I change the manifest.xml to

 <intent-filter>
       <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
       <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
       <!-- declare the default searchable Activity for the whole app -->
       <action android:name="android.intent.action.SEARCH" />            
 </intent-filter>

it cant find the main activity and the application doesn't run. any idea? is it not best practice to use the same activity as searchable also? Thanks, Alisa

You need to add a new intent-filter with the action.SEARCH

<activity
    android:name=".activities.YourActivity">
    <intent-filter>
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
    </intent-filter>
     <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.SEARCH" />
    </intent-filter>
</activity>

You need add new action in manifest file and link to search metadata, smth like that:

<intent-filter>
  <action android:name="android.intent.action.SEARCH"/>
  <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN"/>
  <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER"/>
</intent-filter>
<meta-data android:name="android.app.searchable"
           android:resource="@xml/searchable"/>
