Hi All, I am trying to place the search widget [SearchView basically] in the title part of an AlertDialog. Is that allowed i.e will it work? The idea is to have the user enter a search word and when he/she presses the "Enter" key on the keyboard, to use the search word entered to search through an array of strings and display the result as a listView in the same AlertDialog's body portion. The following is the piece of relevant code.
AlertDialog.Builder dialogBuilder = new AlertDialog.Builder(MainActivity.this); RelativeLayout titleLayout = new RelativeLayout(this); SearchView sv = new SearchView(this); titleLayout.addView(sv); dialogBuilder.setCustomTitle(titleLayout); When i run this code, i see the search widget in the title alright. The Virtual/Soft keyboard pops up when i click inside the search box - but i am unable to type in it because the AlertDialog disappears as soon as i click anywhere outside of it (as it should). I am wondering if the keyboard is associated with the activity that is launching the alertdialog instead of being in the context of the AlertDialog itself. Any ideas?
