A month ago, I dropped-in ActionBarSherlock 4.2 into my project. I got everything to work, except the search suggestions for my SearchView . The way I was creating search suggestions was using the method in the Android documentation . Does ActionBarSherlock support search suggestions? I tried to dig through the issue list on the Github page but the issue seems closed but I can't seem to follow the discussion and understand whether it really is a resolved or not. I thought that some of you who've been using ActionBarSherlock might know better. It doesn't. But I have found a way to make it query

Does anybody knows how to set android search dialog hint dynamically? T have try to do something like: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <searchable xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:label="@string/search_label" android:hint="@string/search_hint" android:id="@+id/search_dialog_text"> </searchable> Somewhere: @Override public boolean onSearchRequested() { Bundle appSearchData = new Bundle(); appSearchData.putString("SomeSpecificParam", SomeClass.class.getName()); startSearch("", false, appSearchData, false); EditText text = (EditText )findViewById(R.id

I currently have my application set up with a ListFragment on the left and a DetailsFragment on the right (similar to the layout on the tablet below). On the action bar I have a search widget which when a search term is submitted should update the contents of the list (in the ListFragment). I have been following the search guide on android dev ( http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/search/search-dialog.html ) but I am having problems getting the search to update the list in the same activity. I have managed to get some form of implementation working by calling a new activity when the

My search box is not displaying when I press the search button on my Android phone. What I want to do is do an ASyncTask (or background task) to get a JSON response of an array of strings (names of people), search through the result, and display it to the user using the same search functionality that IMDB has. Currently, I'm using a string array to test my search response/request. Any ideas? I get the following warnings when pressing the search button (but I think this is unrelated to my issue): 04-21 03:35:23.767: WARN/KeyCharacterMap(12946): Can't open keycharmap file 04-21 03:36:48.978:

I set up a SearchWidget as described in the Android API Guide . It properly displays a magnifying glass icon in the Action Bar and if I click on it, it launches the search widget within the Action Bar (an input field with dark background). However, if I press the virtual device's search button, then a different search field is launched: It has a white background and does not invoke the callback methods I specified. So I added this to my MainActivity class: public boolean onSearchRequested() { SearchView searchView = (SearchView) menu.findItem(R.id.menu_search).getActionView(); searchView

Hi i want to search users in my app via SearchView widget. I want to show suggested users name in a ListView above a ViewPager of same XML layout when SearchWidget is active. I used following xml <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" > <ListView android:id="@+id/searched_friends_list" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:divider="@color/list_divider" android:dividerHeight="1dp" android:layout_marginLeft=

OK I have a multiple choice ListView that works fine. I check the boxes for the contacts (held in a String[]) and can return the values fine. Because some people have a bunch of contacts I wanted to create a search bar kind of like the stock one for the Android phone book. I created an EditText and aligned it above my list. I found the filtering code here on StackOverflow and it works wonderfully. My Problem: When you filter someones name out, and you select the name, when you either backspace from the EditText or continue typing, the correct position of the name you selected is not saved. For

I m creating a custom SearchView, but so far I didn't find a (click)event or listener, if the user clicks on the searchView widget. So SearchView is close, user clicks on the search Icon (which listener?!), SearchView is opened. See the picture below. I need that event, because I want to change the UI after user opens the searchView EDIT: What I tried so far is setOnClickListener to SearchView Element -> but it's only triggered if the SearchView is open(2nd picture) searched SearchView Api, but there isn't a listener for that action (or am I blind?) tried a workaround with onWindowFocusChanged

I'm developing search widget interface based on official tutorial: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/search/search-dialog.html Problem: My SearchableActivity doesn't get triggered when I enter my query and press Ok/enter. Manifest for SearchableActivity: <activity android:name="SearchableActivity" android:launchMode="singleTop" > <intent-filter> <action android:name="android.intent.action.SEARCH" /> </intent-filter> <meta-data android:name="android.app.searchable" android:resource="@xml/searchable" /> </activity> xml/searchable.xml <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <searchable

I wrote this small test application to demonstrate the problem, that is the searchable activity is not started when the user presses the search button on the keyboard. I have been following the developer guides , but from my web search, it turns out that the official developer guide misses some points. From my SO search (which did not help): Reference 1: Solved by Adding tag in the element in the manifest. I also looked into the manifest of the sample "User Dictionary" (I don't know where can I find the samples online, or I would link to it). This tag is there in the application element.
