The images returned to the cursor in the QSB seem to require an image

be downloaded to the device asynchronously with callbacks. This would

The big problem here seems to be that the target of the Intent thrown
from selecting a search suggestion in the Android Quick Search Box
must be an Activity. If it could be a Service then I could simply
show a toast from that if offline or start the appropriate activity if
not. Nope. If its not
Nope. That doesnt work either.
Here is my code for the activity that responds to the QSB. You'll see
that I am using the application context for the toast.
My app shows with the toast over it. If it is possible to show a
toast over the QSB then how? (Example code)

When a user clicks on a cached Quick Search Box shortcut it takes the
user to an activity that they should not see if they are in airplane

I have some results that I am returning to the Android Quick Search
