I am trying to populate results for the global search box. I can
currently type in the search box and have my debugger stop in query()
just as I would expect. Just as a test I am populating a MatrixCursor
manually to return from the query() method. Here is the test code...
public class GlobalSearchProvider extends ContentProvider
{
private static final String[] SEARCH_CURSOR_COLUMNS = new String[]
{"_ID","SUGGEST_COLUMN_TEXT_1","SUGGEST_COLUMN_TEXT_2","SUGGEST_COLUMN_ICON_1","SUGGEST_COLUMN_INTENT_EXTRA_DATA"};
@Override
public Cursor query( Uri uri, String[] columns, String where,
String[] whereArgs, String sortOrder )
{
switch( uriMatcher.match( uri ) )
{
case GLOBAL_SEARCH_SUGGESTION_CODE:
{
return getSuggestionTest( whereArgs[0] );
}
default:
throw new IllegalArgumentException( "Unknown
Uri: " + uri );
}
}
private Cursor getSuggestionTest( String searchTerm )
{
MatrixCursor cursor = new MatrixCursor( SEARCH_CURSOR_COLUMNS );
if( searchTerm == null || searchTerm.length() == 0 )
return cursor;
ArrayList<Object> columnValues = new ArrayList<Object>();
columnValues.add( 0 ); // _ID
columnValues.add( "Poofy and the Buttons");
columnValues.add( searchTerm );
columnValues.add( null );
columnValues.add( 0 );
cursor.addRow( columnValues );
ArrayList<Object> columnValues2 = new ArrayList<Object>();
columnValues2.add( 1 ); // _ID
columnValues2.add( "Joe Mama");
columnValues2.add( searchTerm );
columnValues2.add( null );
columnValues2.add( 0 );
cursor.addRow( columnValues2 );
int nr = cursor.getCount();
return cursor;
}
}
Here is the searchable.xml
<searchable
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android";
android:label="@string/search_label"
android:hint="@string/search_hint"
android:searchSuggestAuthority="com.poofy.GlobalSearchProvider"
android:searchSuggestThreshold="1"
android:includeInGlobalSearch="true"
android:searchSuggestIntentAction="android.Intent.action.VIEW">
</searchable>
And in the manifest
<provider android:name=".GlobalSearchProvider"
android:authorities="com.poofy.GlobalSearchProvider" />
Very simple. It returns a cursor with two elements. The debugger
shows it working nicely... until you see that the search list actually
contains only one result with no text in it! Yes, I have enabled
search to get results from my app (or it would have never stopped the
debugger). Its as if the contents of the MatrixCursor is not
recognized by the system. (I have to use a MatrixCursor because my
results do not come from a database.)
Any idea what might be happening here?
Thanks
