android-search

I am trying to do a search such that all the "visible" search letters should be highlighted. I tried using spannable but that didn't do the trick, maybe I wasnt doing it right? based on this: Highlight searched text in ListView items How do i get to highlight the visible text? here's my filter : private LayoutInflater mInflater; private ValueFilter valueFilter; public MySimpleArrayAdapter(Activity context) { this.context = context; mInflater = LayoutInflater.from(context); } private class ValueFilter extends Filter { //Invoked in a worker thread to filter the data according to the constraint.

I wrote this small test application to demonstrate the problem, that is the searchable activity is not started when the user presses the search button on the keyboard. I have been following the developer guides , but from my web search, it turns out that the official developer guide misses some points. From my SO search (which did not help): Reference 1: Solved by Adding tag in the element in the manifest. I also looked into the manifest of the sample "User Dictionary" (I don't know where can I find the samples online, or I would link to it). This tag is there in the application element.

I've got an application that has two search suggestion providers that both extend SearchRecentSuggestionsProvider , and I've set it up correctly in the manifest file with the following Intent filter and meta-data: <intent-filter> <action android:name="android.intent.action.SEARCH" /> </intent-filter> <meta-data android:name="android.app.searchable" android:resource="@xml/searchable_tv" /> The searcable resource includes android:includeInGlobalSearch="true" , so that should be fine. And I've obviously got a provider there as well: <provider android:name="com.miz.contentprovider

I am using Toolbar search widget in my project. Everything works fine but expect the thing which I am completely stuck up with removing the underline below search field in my toolbar. I have tried many solutions and nothing works out. Below are the some of the solutions what i tried. Requirement is to remove white underline in the image Ist Solution: //Removing underline int searchPlateId = searchView.getContext().getResources().getIdentifier("android:id/search_plate", null, null); View searchPlate = searchView.findViewById(searchPlateId); if (searchPlate!=null) { searchPlate

SearchView looks fine on Lollipop devices (Android 21): But on Android 23-28 it doesn't hide all icons on the right side: <item android:id="@+id/action_search" android:title="@string/search" app:actionViewClass="androidx.appcompat.widget.SearchView" app:showAsAction="ifRoom"/> <item android:id="@+id/action_sort" android:title="@string/sorting" android:icon="@drawable/sort" app:showAsAction="ifRoom"/> How can I fix it? Update Seems Android 23 and higher don't hide icons anymore on the right (because there is enough space) But it only works fine if you don't have home button or hamburger menu on
