[android-beginners] Re: 1.6: Quick search box to pass parameters to an application
Nevermind, found the SearchableDictionary example in the SDK which gave me enough.

This would launch an intent and either just say Yay done or if it needs user intervention show a dialog / screen. So I guess I'd want to be able to say search hihaa anything should call Intent X and Intent X should be able to parse the query.

[android-beginners] Layout support two items in a 'row' filling width?
Hey, Sorry for the gibberish subject. I'm looking for a layout that will support 2 views lined up next to one another. In my case I want something like: -- Spinner - Button -- Where the spinner is a list of existing values and the button is a + (add new value). I want the spinner to take as much of the screen width as possible without overlapping the button. Is this possible using XML layouts or will I need to do some fanciness in code? Any ideas? Thanks in advance :) --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Beginners group.

Solved using RelativeLayout properly (I *think*). Button android:id=@+id/add_location_button android:text=+ android:layout_width=wrap_content android:layout_height=wrap_content android:layout_alignParentRight=true / Spinner android:id=@+id/location_spinner android:layout_width=wrap_content android:layout_height=wrap_content android:drawSelectorOnTop=true android:prompt=@string/select_location_prompt android:layout_toLeftOf=@id/add_location_button android:layout_alignParentLeft=true / Sorry for the silly post.

Awesome, that did it. Thanks! On Dec 30, 2008 7:52 AM, Romain Guy romain...@google.com wrote: You can use a LinearLayout and the android:layout_weight attribute on the Spinner.
