Searchable activity being called twice

Answer 1

I think methods onNewIntent and onCreate are mutually exclusive. You set launchMode to "singleTop", so the method onNewIntent would be called and not the onCreate.

I have a similar problem when one search request is processed twice. Working with the SearchableDictionary sample in the WXGA 10.1 tablet emulator I found that the first search call works fine, but consequent calls create two SEARCH events, so they are processed twice. Somebody mentioned about a bug in Ti. (http://developer.appcelerator.com/question/127166/android-search-keyboardtype-fires-return-event-twice )

I tested apps on a real Samsung tablet and I didn’t see two SEARCH events, so I guess it’s an emulator problem, not a code problem.

Try to remove super.OnNewIntent(intent) in your SearchableActivity.

According to your manifest you are trying to use search dialog

<meta-data
android:name="android.app.default_searchable"
android:value="com.shop.SearchableActivity" />

and in the same time you use SearchView in your Menu. If you use SearchView you should use

    <meta-data android:name="android.app.searchable"
               android:resource="@xml/searchable"/>

like in http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/search/searchable-config.html.

That is my example of xml/searchable.xml:

<searchable xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" 
    android:label="@string/app_name"
    android:hint="@string/search"
    android:searchSuggestAuthority="@string/authority"
    android:searchSuggestSelection=" ?"
    android:voiceSearchMode="launchRecognizer">
</searchable>
