androidmanifest:

    &         


        

Answer 1

I understood the problem i had also faced the same, This is happening because you are passing the current component name by passing the

getComponentName()

This will be initialize by the current activity name so you need to initialize it with the searchable activity name in given below format and pass the same Component instance it starts the new activity.

    SearchManager searchManager = (SearchManager) getSystemService(Context.SEARCH_SERVICE);
    search.setSearchableInfo(searchManager.getSearchableInfo(new ComponentName(this, SearchResultsActivity.class)));
    search.setQueryHint(getResources().getString(R.string.search_hint));

Hope it I have answered the Question!
