Hi Ali, Thank you for the reply and I apologize for the delay. My wife had
our third little one, so work came to a halt.
Preface this with I am definitely new to this, so I offer this with a major
does of humility. Please read it that way ;-)
I am not trying to use web search. While I am using the search tool, as far
as the android app is concerned, I am just going to a new URL. The search
is handled in my online app, and I am simply passing the search string.
None of that really matters for this conversation (I think).
I have one activity with two intents (Main and Search). The problem is when
the search intent is called, the
if (Intent.ACTION_SEARCH.equals(intent.getAction())) {
String query = intent.getStringExtra(SearchManager.QUERY);
doMySearch(query);
}
is not working (doMySearch function is not being called).
@TreKing, I could not get debugging to work well. It kept crashing. If
anyone has a good overview to post on debugging, let me know. I am growing
frustrated with the android documentation which is why I am coming to the
user community.
Thanks you both again. I appreciate it.
