Specify something like this in your AndroidManifest file:
<activity android:name="ActivityA">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN"/
>
<category
android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER"/>
</intent-filter>
<meta-data android:name="android.app.default_searchable"
android:value=".ActivityB" />
</activity>
<activity android:name="ActivityB">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.SEARCH"/>
<category
android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
</intent-filter>
<meta-data android:name="android.app.searchable"
android:resource="@xml/searchable" /
>
</activity>
Create a searchable.xml file in the res/xml folder:
<searchable xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/
android"
android:label="@string/search_label"
android:hint="@string/search_hint">
</searchable>
In onCreate() function in ActivityB, handle the ACTION_SEARCH intent:
final Intent queryIntent = getIntent();
final String queryAction = queryIntent.getAction();
if (Intent.ACTION_SEARCH.equals(queryAction)) {
String s = queryIntent.getStringExtra
(SearchManager.QUERY));
}
