<p>A sample application that demonstrates Android's search framework.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>This application includes a dictionary of words. By invoking the Android search dialog inside the
|
|
app (via the device search button or Menu > Search), you can perform a search
|
|
across the dictionary. As you type, suggestions will appear, which you can select
|
|
to view the complete definition. You can also execute the search to view all word definitions
|
|
that match the entered text. The application also allows Quick Search Box (Android's system-wide
|
|
search) to provide dictionary suggestions.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The code in this application demonstrates how to:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Implement a search interface using Android's search framework</li>
|
|
<li>Provide custom search suggestions and offer them in Quick Search Box</li>
|
|
<li>Create an SQLite database and an FTS3 table for full-text searches</li>
|
|
<li>Create a <a href="../../../guide/topics/providers/content-providers.html">content
|
|
provider</a> to perform all search and suggestion queries</li>
|
|
<li>Use <code><a
|
|
href="../../../reference/android/widget/SimpleCursorAdapter.html">SimpleCursorAdapter</a></code> to
|
|
bind data from a Cursor to a ListView.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p><b>Revisions:</b></p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Updated for Android 3.0 to use the <a href="../../../guide/topics/ui/actionbar.html">Action
|
|
Bar</a> and the <code><a
|
|
href="../../../reference/android/widget/SearchView.html">SearchView</a></code> widget as an action item.
|
|
(Available in the <em>Samples for SDK API 11</em>.)</li>

|
<p class="note"><strong>Note:</strong> For the original version of Searchable Dictionary, which
|
|
reads words from a file instead of a database and uses a custom <code><a
|
|
href="../../../reference/android/widget/BaseAdapter.html">BaseAdapter</a></code>, see the SDK
|
|
samples included with the platforms for API Level 4-6.</p>
