android pass bundle with search

Question

Hello i am using android 3.0 search widget(not the search mode), the problem is i need to pass some parameters along with the search word.

Android isn't calling any of these

    searchManager.setOnDismissListener( new OnDismissListener() {

            @Override
            public void onDismiss() {
                // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                Log.v(MyApp.TAG, "on dismiss search");

            }
        });

        searchManager.setOnCancelListener( new OnCancelListener() {

            @Override
            public void onCancel() {
                // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                Log.v(MyApp.TAG, "on dismiss cancel");

            }
        });

@Override
    public boolean onSearchRequested() {
        Bundle appData = new Bundle();
        appData.putLong("listino_id", this.listino_id);
        this.startSearch(null, true, appData, false);
        return true;
        // return super.onSearchRequested();
    }

I need my activity to NOT be singleOnTop, here is my AndroidManifest.xml

 <activity android:name=".activity.ListinoProdottiActivity" android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden">


             <!-- Receives the search request. -->
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.SEARCH" />
                <!-- No category needed, because the Intent will specify this class component-->
            </intent-filter>

                   <!-- enable the base activity to send searches to itself -->
            <meta-data android:name="android.app.default_searchable"
              android:value=".activity.ListinoProdottiActivity" />


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

        </activity>

Here is my searchable.xml

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

When you don't pass the extra parameter does it work? – Iranian

i can't pass the extra parameter, since i can't use any "hook" to add parameters to the Intent, none of those 3 functions get called – Weighted

Please paste the content of @xml/searchable. – Iranian

pass data with bundle in Search Widget:

layout/main.xml :

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent">
    <TextView android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="@string/hello" />
    <Button android:id="@+id/button" android:text="test"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
</LinearLayout>

layout/searchable.xml :

<?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:searchMode="showSearchLabelAsBadge"
    android:voiceSearchMode="showVoiceSearchButton|launchRecognizer"
    android:voiceLanguageModel="free_form"
    android:voicePromptText="@string/search_invoke"
    android:searchSuggestSelection=" ? "
/>

values/strings.xml :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<string name="app_name">Searchtest</string>
<string name="search_label">Search Test</string>
<string name="search_hint">1234</string>
<string name="search_invoke">234</string>
<string name="search_query_results">544545</string>
</resources>

AndroidManifest.xml :

<application
        android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name" >
        <activity
            android:label="@string/app_name"

         <activity android:name=".ResultActivty"
                  android:label="@string/search_query_results">

                <category android:name="android.intent.category.SAMPLE_CODE" />
            </intent-filter>
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.SEARCH" />
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />

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

public class ResultActivty extends Activity{

        Bundle bundled= getIntent().getBundleExtra(SearchManager.APP_DATA);
        Long ttdata=bundled.getLong("listino_id");
        Toast.makeText(this, ttdata.toString(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    }

thanks, it works as normal search, but it does not use the search WIDGET, as in developer.android.com/guide/topics/search/… or as in see screenshot here #9589310 – Weighted

Answer 2

when querying by searchview ( searchable || searchview widget ) you can pass parameter to searchActivity ( searchResultActivity ) by define your own OnQueryTextListener like this.

searchView.setOnQueryTextListener(new OnQueryTextListener() {

        @Override
        public boolean onQueryTextChange(String arg0) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub
            return false;
        }

        @Override
        public boolean onQueryTextSubmit(String query) {
            Intent searchIntent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), SearchResultsActivity.class);
            searchIntent.putExtra(SearchManager.QUERY, query);
            searchIntent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEARCH);
            startActivity(searchIntent);
            return true;
        }
    });

Check if you have hard coded strings for android:hint or android:label in res/xml/searchable.xml. They must be string resource ids.

Answer 4

If your calls is syncronic(you perform one search request and waiting for response and don't perform any search request until you got your response) then it's easy.

Just create a helper static class to do it for you.

Some thing like this:

public static Bundle myStaticClass;
.
.
.
myStaticClass.putString(key, value);
callSearch();
.
.
.
afterSearchResponse();
String value = myStaticClass.get(key);

You asked about passing data, so this is how you can do it, if I misunderstand you please edit your question to be more understandable. – Detrain

Answer 5

you can use the follow

in Menu

    @Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
    // Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
    getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.menu_al_ayats, menu);

    SearchManager searchManager =
            (SearchManager) getSystemService(Context.SEARCH_SERVICE);
    SearchView searchView =
            (SearchView) menu.findItem(R.id.action_search).getActionView();
    Bundle appData = new Bundle();
    appData.putString("hello", "world");

    searchView.setAppSearchData(appData);

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

    return true;
}

and in your search result activity put the below

    @Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_activity_search_result);

    handleIntent(getIntent());
}

    private void handleIntent(Intent intent) {

    if (Intent.ACTION_SEARCH.equals(intent.getAction())) {
        String extrastring=intent.getBundleExtra(SearchManager.APP_DATA).getString("hello");
        //use the query to search your data somehow
        getSupportActionBar().setTitle(extrastring);
    }
}
