+ <p>The {@link android.widget.SearchView} and action bar are only available on Android 3.0 and
+ later. To support older platforms, you can fall back to the search dialog. The search dialog is a
+ system provided UI that overlays on top of your application when invoked.</p>
+
+ <h2 id="set-sdk">Set Minimum and Target API levels</h2>
+
+ <p>To setup the search dialog, first declare in your manifest that you want to support older
+ devices, but want to target Android 3.0 or later versions. When you do this, your application
+ automatically uses the action bar on Android 3.0 or later and uses the traditional menu system on
+ older devices:</p>
+ <pre>
+&lt;uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="7" android:targetSdkVersion="15" /&gt;
+
+&lt;application&gt;
+...
+</pre>
+
+ <h2 id="provide-sd">Provide the Search Dialog for Older Devices</h2>
+
+ <p>To invoke the search dialog on older devices, call {@link
+ android.app.Activity#onSearchRequested onSearchRequested()} whenever a user selects the search
+ menu item from the options menu. Because Android 3.0 and higher devices show the
+ {@link android.widget.SearchView} in the action bar (as demonstrated in the first lesson), only versions
+ older than 3.0 call {@link android.app.Activity#onOptionsItemSelected onOptionsItemSelected()} when the
+ user selects the search menu item.
+ </p>
+ <pre>
+&#64;Override
+public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
+ switch (item.getItemId()) {
+ case R.id.search:
+ onSearchRequested();
+ return true;
+ default:
+ return false;
+ }
+}
+</pre>
+
+ <h2 id="check-ver">Check the Android Build Version at Runtime</h2>
+
+ <p>At runtime, check the device version to make sure an unsupported use of {@link
+ android.widget.SearchView} does not occur on older devices. In our example code, this happens in
+ the {@link android.app.Activity#onCreateOptionsMenu onCreateOptionsMenu()} method:</p>
+ <pre>
+&#64;Override
+public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
+
+ MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater();
+ inflater.inflate(R.menu.options_menu, menu);
+
+ if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT &gt;= Build.VERSION_CODES.HONEYCOMB) {
+ SearchManager searchManager =
+ (SearchManager) getSystemService(Context.SEARCH_SERVICE);
+ SearchView searchView =
+ (SearchView) menu.findItem(R.id.search).getActionView();
+ searchView.setSearchableInfo(
+ searchManager.getSearchableInfo(getComponentName()));
+ searchView.setIconifiedByDefault(false);
+ }
+ return true;
+}
+</pre>

+
+ <p>There are many ways to store your data, such as in an online database, in a local SQLite
+ database, or even in a text file. It is up to you to decide what is the best solution for your
+ application. This lesson shows you how to create a SQLite virtual table that can provide robust
+ full-text searching. The table is populated with data from a text file that contains a word and
+ definition pair on each line in the file.</p>
+
+ <h2 id="create">Create the Virtual Table</h2>
+
+ <p>A virtual table behaves similarly to a SQLite table, but reads and writes to an object in
+ memory via callbacks, instead of to a database file. To create a virtual table, create a class
+ for the table:</p>
+ <pre>
+public class DatabaseTable {
+ private final DatabaseOpenHelper mDatabaseOpenHelper;
+
+ public DatabaseTable(Context context) {
+ mDatabaseOpenHelper = new DatabaseOpenHelper(context);
+ }
+}
+</pre>
+
+ <p>Create an inner class in <code>DatabaseTable</code> that extends {@link
+ android.database.sqlite.SQLiteOpenHelper}. The {@link android.database.sqlite.SQLiteOpenHelper} class
+ defines abstract methods that you must override so that your database table can be created and
+ upgraded when necessary. For example, here is some code that declares a database table that will
+ contain words for a dictionary app:</p>
+ <pre>
+public class DatabaseTable {
+
+ private static final String TAG = "DictionaryDatabase";
+
+ //The columns we'll include in the dictionary table
+ public static final String COL_WORD = "WORD";
+ public static final String COL_DEFINITION = "DEFINITION";
+
+ private static final String DATABASE_NAME = "DICTIONARY";
+ private static final String FTS_VIRTUAL_TABLE = "FTS";
+ private static final int DATABASE_VERSION = 1;
+
+ private final DatabaseOpenHelper mDatabaseOpenHelper;
+
+ public DatabaseTable(Context context) {
+ mDatabaseOpenHelper = new DatabaseOpenHelper(context);
+ }
+
+ private static class DatabaseOpenHelper extends SQLiteOpenHelper {
+
+ private final Context mHelperContext;
+ private SQLiteDatabase mDatabase;
+
+ private static final String FTS_TABLE_CREATE =
+ "CREATE VIRTUAL TABLE " + FTS_VIRTUAL_TABLE +
+ " USING fts3 (" +
+ COL_WORD + ", " +
+ COL_DEFINITION + ")";
+
+ DatabaseOpenHelper(Context context) {
+ super(context, DATABASE_NAME, null, DATABASE_VERSION);
+ mHelperContext = context;
+ }
+
+ &#64;Override
+ public void onCreate(SQLiteDatabase db) {
+ mDatabase = db;
+ mDatabase.execSQL(FTS_TABLE_CREATE);
+ }
+
+ &#64;Override
+ public void onUpgrade(SQLiteDatabase db, int oldVersion, int newVersion) {
+ Log.w(TAG, "Upgrading database from version " + oldVersion + " to "
+ + newVersion + ", which will destroy all old data");
+ db.execSQL("DROP TABLE IF EXISTS " + FTS_VIRTUAL_TABLE);
+ onCreate(db);
+ }
+ }
+}
+</pre>
+
+ <h2 id="populate">Populate the Virtual Table</h2>
+
+ <p>The table now needs data to store. The following code shows you how to read a text file
+ (located in <code>res/raw/definitions.txt</code>) that contains words and their definitions, how
+ to parse that file, and how to insert each line of that file as a row in the virtual table. This
+ is all done in another thread to prevent the UI from locking. Add the following code to your
+ <code>DatabaseOpenHelper</code> inner class.</p>
+
+ <p class="note"><strong>Tip:</strong> You also might want to set up a callback to notify your UI
+ activity of this thread's completion.</p>
+ <pre>
+private void loadDictionary() {
+ new Thread(new Runnable() {
+ public void run() {
+ try {
+ loadWords();
+ } catch (IOException e) {
+ throw new RuntimeException(e);
+ }
+ }
+ }).start();
+ }
+
+private void loadWords() throws IOException {
+ final Resources resources = mHelperContext.getResources();
+ InputStream inputStream = resources.openRawResource(R.raw.definitions);
+ BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(inputStream));
+
+ try {
+ String line;
+ while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
+ String[] strings = TextUtils.split(line, "-");
+ if (strings.length &lt; 2) continue;
+ long id = addWord(strings[0].trim(), strings[1].trim());
+ if (id &lt; 0) {
+ Log.e(TAG, "unable to add word: " + strings[0].trim());
+ }
+ }
+ } finally {
+ reader.close();
+ }
+}
+
+public long addWord(String word, String definition) {
+ ContentValues initialValues = new ContentValues();
+ initialValues.put(COL_WORD, word);
+ initialValues.put(COL_DEFINITION, definition);
+
+ return mDatabase.insert(FTS_VIRTUAL_TABLE, null, initialValues);
+}
+</pre>
+
+ <p>Call the <code>loadDictionary()</code> method wherever appropriate to populate the table. A
+ good place would be in the {@link android.database.sqlite.SQLiteOpenHelper#onCreate onCreate()}
+ method of the <code>DatabaseOpenHelper</code> class, right after you create the table:</p>
+ <pre>
+&#64;Override
+public void onCreate(SQLiteDatabase db) {
+ mDatabase = db;
+ mDatabase.execSQL(FTS_TABLE_CREATE);
+ loadDictionary();
+}
+</pre>
+
+ <h2 id="search">Search for the Query</h2>
+
+ <p>When you have the virtual table created and populated, use the query supplied by your {@link
+ android.widget.SearchView} to search the data. Add the following methods to the
+ <code>DatabaseTable</code> class to build a SQL statement that searches for the query:</p>
+ <pre>
+public Cursor getWordMatches(String query, String[] columns) {
+ String selection = COL_WORD + " MATCH ?";
+ String[] selectionArgs = new String[] {query+"*"};
+
+ return query(selection, selectionArgs, columns);
+}
+
+private Cursor query(String selection, String[] selectionArgs, String[] columns) {
+ SQLiteQueryBuilder builder = new SQLiteQueryBuilder();
+ builder.setTables(FTS_VIRTUAL_TABLE);
+
+ Cursor cursor = builder.query(mDatabaseOpenHelper.getReadableDatabase(),
+ columns, selection, selectionArgs, null, null, null);
+
+ if (cursor == null) {
+ return null;
+ } else if (!cursor.moveToFirst()) {
+ cursor.close();
+ return null;
+ }
+ return cursor;
+}
+</pre>
+
+ <p>Search for a query by calling <code>getWordMatches()</code>. Any matching results are returned
+ in a {@link android.database.Cursor} that you can iterate through or use to build a {@link android.widget.ListView}.
+ This example calls <code>getWordMatches()</code> in the <code>handleIntent()</code> method of the searchable
+ activity. Remember that the searchable activity receives the query inside of the {@link
+ android.content.Intent#ACTION_SEARCH} intent as an extra, because of the intent filter that you
+ previously created:</p>
+ <pre>
+DatabaseTable db = new DatabaseTable(this);
+
+...
+
+private void handleIntent(Intent intent) {
+
+ if (Intent.ACTION_SEARCH.equals(intent.getAction())) {
+ String query = intent.getStringExtra(SearchManager.QUERY);
+ Cursor c = db.getWordMatches(query, null);
+ //process Cursor and display results
+ }
+}
+</pre> \ No newline at end of file

+ </ul>
+ </div>
+ </div>
+
+ <p>Beginning in Android 3.0, using the {@link android.widget.SearchView} widget as an item in
+ the action bar is the preferred way to provide search in your app. Like with all items in
+ the action bar, you can define the {@link android.widget.SearchView} to show at all times, only
+ when there is room, or as a collapsible action, which displays the {@link
+ android.widget.SearchView} as an icon initially, then takes up the entire action bar as a search
+ field when the user clicks the icon.</p>
+
+ <p class="note"><strong>Note:</strong> Later in this class, you will learn how to make your
+ app compatible down to Android 2.1 (API level 7) for devices that do not support
+ {@link android.widget.SearchView}.</p>
+
+ <h2 id="add-sv">Add the Search View to the Action Bar</h2>
+
+ <p>To add a {@link android.widget.SearchView} widget to the action bar, create a file named
+ <code>res/menu/options_menu.xml</code> in your project and add the following code to the file.
+ This code defines how to create the search item, such as the icon to use and the title of the
+ item. The <code>collapseActionView</code> attribute allows your {@link android.widget.SearchView}
+ to expand to take up the whole action bar and collapse back down into a
+ normal action bar item when not in use. Because of the limited action bar space on handset devices,
+ using the <code>collapsibleActionView</code> attribute is recommended to provide a better
+ user experience.</p>
+ <pre>
+&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?&gt;
+&lt;menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"&gt;
+ &lt;item android:id="@+id/search"
+ android:title="@string/search_title"
+ android:icon="@drawable/ic_search"
+ android:showAsAction="collapseActionView|ifRoom"
+ android:actionViewClass="android.widget.SearchView" /&gt;
+&lt;/menu&gt;
+</pre>
+
+ <p class="note"><strong>Note:</strong> If you already have an existing XML file for your menu
+ items, you can add the <code>&lt;item&gt;</code> element to that file instead.</p>
+
+ <p>To display the {@link android.widget.SearchView} in the action bar, inflate the XML menu
+ resource (<code>res/menu/options_menu.xml</code>) in the {@link
+ android.app.Activity#onCreateOptionsMenu onCreateOptionsMenu()} method of your activity:</p>
+ <pre>
+&#64;Override
+public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
+ MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater();
+ inflater.inflate(R.menu.options_menu, menu);
+
+ return true;
+}
+</pre>
+
+ <p>If you run your app now, the {@link android.widget.SearchView} appears in your app's action
+ bar, but it isn't functional. You now need to define <em>how</em> the {@link
+ android.widget.SearchView} behaves.</p>
+
+ <h2 id="create-sc">Create a Searchable Configuration</h2>
+
+ <p>A <a href="http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/search/searchable-config.html">searchable
+ configuration</a> defines how the {@link android.widget.SearchView} behaves and is defined in a
+ <code>res/xml/searchable.xml</code> file. At a minimum, a searchable configuration must contain
+ an <code>android:label</code> attribute that has the same value as the
+ <code>android:label</code> attribute of the <a href="{@docRoot}guide/topics/manifest/application-element.html">&lt;application&gt;</a> or
+ <a href="{@docRoot}guide/topics/manifest/activity-element.html">&lt;activity&gt;</a> element in your Android manifest.
+ However, we also recommend adding an <code>android:hint</code> attribute to give the user an idea of what to enter into the search
+ box:</p>
+ <pre>
+&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?&gt;
+
+&lt;searchable xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
+ android:label="@string/app_name"
+ android:hint="@string/search_hint" /&gt;
+</pre>
+
+ <p>In your application's manifest file, declare a <a href="{@docRoot}guide/topics/manifest/meta-data-element.html">
+ <code>&lt;meta-data&gt;</code></a> element that points to the <code>res/xml/searchable.xml</code> file,
+ so that your application knows where to find it. Declare the element in an <code>&lt;activity&gt;</code>
+ that you want to display the {@link android.widget.SearchView} in:</p>
+ <pre>
+&lt;activity ... &gt;
+ ...
+ &lt;meta-data android:name="android.app.searchable"
+ android:resource="@xml/searchable" /&gt;
+
+&lt;/activity&gt;
+</pre>
+
+ <p>In the {@link android.app.Activity#onCreateOptionsMenu onCreateOptionsMenu()} method that you
+ created before, associate the searchable configuration with the {@link android.widget.SearchView}
+ by calling {@link android.widget.SearchView#setSearchableInfo}:</p>
+ <pre>
+&#64;Override
+public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
+ MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater();
+ inflater.inflate(R.menu.options_menu, menu);
+
+ // Associate searchable configuration with the SearchView
+ SearchManager searchManager =
+ (SearchManager) getSystemService(Context.SEARCH_SERVICE);
+ SearchView searchView =
+ (SearchView) menu.findItem(R.id.search).getActionView();
+ searchView.setSearchableInfo(
+ searchManager.getSearchableInfo(getComponentName()));
+
+ return true;
+}
+</pre>
+
+ <p>The call to {@link android.app.SearchManager#getSearchableInfo getSearchableInfo()} obtains a
+ {@link android.app.SearchableInfo} object that is created from the searchable configuration XML
+ file. When the searchable configuration is correctly associated with your {@link
+ android.widget.SearchView}, the {@link android.widget.SearchView} starts an activity with the
+ {@link android.content.Intent#ACTION_SEARCH} intent when a user submits a query. You now need an
+ activity that can filter for this intent and handle the search query.</p>
+
+ <h2 id="create-sa">Create a Searchable Activity</h2>
+
+ <p>A {@link android.widget.SearchView} tries to start an activity with the {@link
+ android.content.Intent#ACTION_SEARCH} when a user submits a search query. A searchable activity
+ filters for the {@link android.content.Intent#ACTION_SEARCH} intent and searches for the query in
+ some sort of data set. To create a searchable activity, declare an activity of your choice to
+ filter for the {@link android.content.Intent#ACTION_SEARCH} intent:</p>
+ <pre>
+&lt;activity android:name=".SearchResultsActivity" ... &gt;
+ ...
+ &lt;intent-filter&gt;
+ &lt;action android:name="android.intent.action.SEARCH" /&gt;
+ &lt;/intent-filter&gt;
+ ...
+&lt;/activity&gt;
+</pre>
+
+ <p>In your searchable activity, handle the {@link android.content.Intent#ACTION_SEARCH} intent by
+ checking for it in your {@link android.app.Activity#onCreate onCreate()} method.</p>
+
+ <p class="note"><strong>Note:</strong> If your searchable activity launches in single top mode
+ (<code>android:launchMode="singleTop"</code>), also handle the {@link
+ android.content.Intent#ACTION_SEARCH} intent in the {@link android.app.Activity#onNewIntent
+ onNewIntent()} method. In single top mode, only one instance of your activity is created and
+ subsequent calls to start your activity do not create a new activity on the
+ stack. This launch mode is useful so users can perform searches from the same activity
+ without creating a new activity instance every time.</p>
+ <pre>
+public class SearchResultsActivity extends Activity {
+
+ &#64;Override
+ public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
+ ...
+ handleIntent(getIntent());
+ }
+
+ &#64;Override
+ protected void onNewIntent(Intent intent) {
+ ...
+ handleIntent(intent);
+ }
+
+ private void handleIntent(Intent intent) {
+
+ if (Intent.ACTION_SEARCH.equals(intent.getAction())) {
+ String query = intent.getStringExtra(SearchManager.QUERY);
+ //use the query to search your data somehow
+ }
+ }
+ ...
+}
+</pre>
+
+ <p>If you run your app now, the {@link android.widget.SearchView} can accept the user's query and
+ start your searchable activity with the {@link android.content.Intent#ACTION_SEARCH} intent. It
+ is now up to you to figure out how to store and search your data given a query.</p> \ No newline at end of file
