I'm trying to use the built-in search UI provided by Android to provide search in my landscape-mode app. I find the UI to be clumsy and makes the user lose context by obscuring the entire screen when the entry field and keyboard appear.
Is there a way that the text entry part of the search screen can remain a single line (as it does before the keyboard appears) and allow the app's screen to show through in the space between the entry field and the keyboard? If you do a search within the Android browser, you get exactly what I want. I've even tried to create my own EditText, but for landscape, the multi-line text entry field and keyboard obscures the entire screen. Is there something I can do to achieve my desired effect? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
