Hi, I am supporting search in my app, I'd like to display a unique hint in the search box depending on what activity is being viewed. To that end, I have a two different searchable.xml files in my xml folder:
searchable.xml searchable_activity_foo.xml When I reference searchable.xml, everything works as expected. The second searchable xml file has the same contents as the first, but this does not work: <activity android:name=".Foo" > <intent-filter> <action android:name="android.intent.action.SEARCH" /> </intent-filter> <meta-data android:name="android.app.searchable" android:resource="@xml/searchable_activity_foo"/> </activity> Pressing the search key does not display the search box. If I just reference the first searchable instead, it works fine: <meta-data android:name="android.app.searchable" android:resource="@xml/searchable"/> Again, both have the same content. It looks like there is a dependency on the name "searchable.xml" within android? If we're not allowed to have searchables named anything but searchable.xml, how do we specify different hint strings for different activities? For example: ActivityFoo = "Search for apples!" ActivityGrok = "Search for oranges!" Thanks -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
