Hey, Amit!
Specifically to the search button problem, I've found the following
solution:
case DIALOG_PROGRESS_SPINNER:
progressDialog = new ProgressDialog(this) {
@Override
public boolean onSearchRequested() {
return false;
}
};
progressDialog.setProgressStyle(ProgressDialog.STYLE_SPINNER);
progressDialog.setMessage("Loading");
progressDialog.setCancelable(false);
return progressDialog;
}
As the code above, try to override the onSearchRequested in the
ProgressDialog class (or any other class you want no to be interrupted
by the search box). If you return false, the event is invalidated and
the search button isn't shown. But, for income calls and other events
that interrupt you application, the dialog probably will be hidden.
I was trying something related to the android:configChanges="...", but
without success. If you find something that solves your problem in a
more general way, please, let us know (hehe, I've just found my app
suffers from something similar...)
Thanks for the attention!
