I have been playing around with the SearchableDictionary sample
application trying to understand it.
I set a breakpoint in DictionaryProvider.query() and verified that
it's going in there when I turn on search for this application
(settings > search > searchable items > Searchable Dictionary).
Then I tried modifying the AndroidManifest.xml file, changing the
launch activity to .WordActivity --
<!-- The default activity of the app. Can also display search
results. -->
<activity android:name=".SearchableDictionary"
android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar">
</activity>
<!-- Displays the definition of a word. -->
<activity android:name=".WordActivity"
android:label="@string/app_name"
android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category
android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
<!-- Receives the search request. -->
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.SEARCH" />
<category
android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
</intent-filter>
<!-- Points to searchable meta data. -->
<meta-data android:name="android.app.searchable"
android:resource="@xml/searchable"/>
</activity>
I also had to change WordActivity so it would startup (albeit not be
useful) --
// Intent intent = getIntent();
//
// String word = intent.getStringExtra("word");
// String definition = intent.getStringExtra("definition");
String word = "word";
String definition = "definition";
My expectation was that when I ran it and typed something in the QSB
(search box on the main android page), it would still trigger the
breakpoint. It's like it doesn't even recognize that the app should
be part of the search anymore. I try moving the manifest changes back
and it goes back to working.
The thing that led me down this path was that I am trying to write my
own ContentProvider, and I can't get the QSB to call my query method.
So what gives with this sample code here? What is preventing (or
enabling) query() to be called from the QSB?
