Search activity not being launched when pressing enter

问题

Search activity not being launched when pressing enter.The search view is shown nicely on the action bar. But when i type the search query and press enter

AndroidManifest.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
   <manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.punit.rateit"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0" >

<uses-sdk
    android:minSdkVersion="11"
    android:targetSdkVersion="17" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>

<application
    android:allowBackup="true"
    android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
    android:label="@string/app_name"
    android:theme="@style/AppTheme"

    >
    <activity
        android:name="com.punit.rateit.MainActivity"
        android:label="@string/app_name" >

        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
        </intent-filter>
    </activity>

    <activity android:theme="@style/Theme.AppCompat.Light"
              android:name=".SearchPageActivity">
          <meta-data android:name="android.app.default_searchable" android:value=".SearchResultsActivity" /> 
      <intent-filter>
         <action android:name="android.intent.action.SearchPage" />
      </intent-filter>
    </activity>

   <activity android:name="com.punit.rateit.SearchResultsActivity"   android:launchMode="singleTop" >
  <intent-filter>
    <action android:name="android.intent.action.SEARCH" />
     <meta-data android:name="android.app.searchable"
               android:resource="@xml/searchable"/>
    </intent-filter>
   </activity>       

    </application>

 </manifest>

Here is the Menu.xml

<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
  xmlns:com.punit.rateit="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto" >
<!-- Search, should appear as action button -->
<item android:id="@+id/search"
      android:icon="@drawable/ic_search"
      android:title="@string/action_search"
      com.punit.rateit:actionViewClass="android.widget.SearchView"
       com.punit.rateit:showAsAction="ifRoom"

       />

   </menu>

The activity which shows action bar.

     public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {

     MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater();
        inflater.inflate(R.menu.menu,menu);
     SearchManager searchManager =
             (SearchManager) getSystemService(Context.SEARCH_SERVICE);

      SearchView searchView =
              (SearchView) menu.findItem(R.id.search).getActionView();

      searchView.setSearchableInfo(searchManager.getSearchableInfo(getComponentName()));
      searchView.setIconifiedByDefault(false);
      searchView.setSubmitButtonEnabled (true); 
     return super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
 }

The SearchResult activity which should be the activity called when search submit button is pressed

public class SearchResultsActivity extends Activity {


@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    Log.d("search", "search triggered");
    setContentView(R.layout.searchpage);

    handleIntent(getIntent());
}
@Override
protected void onNewIntent(Intent intent) {
    Log.d("search", "search triggered");
    setIntent(intent);
    handleIntent(intent);
}
private void handleIntent(Intent intent)
{
     if (Intent.ACTION_SEARCH.equals(intent.getAction())) {
            String query = intent.getStringExtra(SearchManager.QUERY);
            Log.d("search", query);
}
  }

 @Override
 public boolean onSearchRequested() {

     Log.d("search", "search triggered");

     return false;  // don't go ahead and show the search box
 }

After a long Research i have Analyse something

searchView.setSearchableInfo( searchManager.getSearchableInfo(new 
ComponentName(this,SearchResultsActivity.class)));

Here the activity.class is the name of the searchable activity where you want to pass the search query.

I had the same problem, and my search for an answer took me here, so here is what worked for me...

Make sure your searchables.xml file is in the correct location (i.e, in your res/xml/ folder) and that the same file does not contain any errors - otherwise you will find that (SearchManager)getSystemService(Context.SEARCH_SERVICE).getSearchableInfo(componentName) will return null, breaking your search functionality.

(Also, ensure you set componentName in the appropriate manner, because the example shown in the Android guide is for only when you are making searches and displaying searches in the same Activity.)

...am sharing in the hope it may save someone else a wasted 4 hours! :/

Solved the problem. The tag was needed to be for application .Removing it from activity and putting it under application did the trick.

Here is the latest application tag in manifest.xml

   <application
    android:allowBackup="true"
    android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
    android:label="@string/app_name"
    android:theme="@style/AppTheme"
    >
    <meta-data android:name="android.app.default_searchable" android:value=".SearchResultsActivity"/>
    <activity
        android:name="com.punit.rateit.MainActivity"
        android:label="@string/app_name" >
        <meta-data android:name="android.app.default_searchable"           
            android:value="com.punit.rateit.SearchResultsActivity" /> 
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
        </intent-filter>
    </activity>

Creating a ComponentName object with the name of the Search Result activity class worked for me. Like this:

searchView.setSearchableInfo(searchManager.getSearchableInfo(new ComponentName(this, SearchStoreActivity.class)));

回答5:

I was not using the strings within searchable.xml.

You MUST set it up that way or you will get null. I had just put in text instead of using @string.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<searchable xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:label="@string/app_label"
    android:hint="@string/search_hint" >
</searchable>

I struggled with the problem for a day or two, it's not very clearly mentioned in the documentation.

searchView.setSearchableInfo(searchManager.getSearchableInfo(getComponentName()));

In the above the getComponentName function returns the name of the current component, which is good if your current component is handling/showing the search results, but if you have a different activity then you need to put the component name of that activity for search view to redirect searches to that activity.

searchView.setSearchableInfo(searchManager.getSearchableInfo(new ComponentName(this, SearchResultActivity.class)));

Also make sure to have no errors in searchable.xml file in res/xml folder.
