Hello,
I am trying to add a Google Sky Map search directly from my app with
an intent. I'm doing this by:
Intent skyIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEARCH);
skyIntent.setPackage("com.google.android.stardroid");
skyIntent.putExtra(SearchManager.QUERY, searchString);
startActivity(skyIntent);
My string searchString is "bootes", for example. When I click the
button in my app, Sky Map launches as expected, it even says that its
searching for Bootes and the red circle with the little arrow pointing
the direction comes up. The problem is that when I tilt the phone to
the direction the arrow indicates, the target is never found.
Interestingly, if I point the device in the direction that Bootes
actually is, a large orange circle shows and Bootes is beneath it. So,
everything seems to be working correctly except the pointing arrow.
This happens for every object I tell Sky Map to search for.
If I open the Sky Map app and search for Bootes, or anything, with the
keyboard and search button it works perfectly. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks!
Chris
