Hi, I've been trying to implement a quick search feature to my app Thinking Space this weekend without much success..
I've created a searchable.xml, modified the app's manifest, and created a 'dummy' content provider. My app doesn't use SQLite for data, as the searchable objects are MindMaps that are stored in XML files on the SDCard, so my trouble is with trying to get the Quick Search system to use my dummy content provider. My initial goal is just to have the opened map searchable, with the user's search queries being performed in code against the Java object model of the currently opened MindMap. The problem is, that when the using the Quick Search Box, I can see the search query string arrive at my dummy content provider's query() method, but the main Activity doesn't get it's onCreate() called with a search intent; I suspect that this is because the dummy contentprovider returns Null for the cursor in the query() method, and then the SearchManager assumes there are no results to bother the activity with. Has anyone else had success in utilising the Quick Search Functionality with non-SQLite datastores? Or should I abandon trying to use the Quick Search functionality like this, and implement my own method of doing it? Any help appreciated!
