Searchview In One Activity, Results In Another One

My use case is the following: in activity A, I have an action bar with a collapsible SearchView. When the user gives her query and presses the 'search' button, I would like to show

Solution 1:

According to Android documentations, SearchManager.getSearchableInfo(componentName) takes one argument, which is:

componentName: The activity to get searchable information for

In your case you need ActivityB, so constructing a ComponentName that points to ActivityB is the correct way

newComponentName(this, ActivityB.class)

Solution 2:

<intent-filter><actionandroid:name="android.intent.action.SEARCH"/></intent-filter>

add this intent filter to activity A.

2.SearchView Menu

SearchManagersearchManager= (SearchManager) getSystemService(Context.SEARCH_SERVICE);
        searchView = (SearchView) menu.findItem(R.id.search).getActionView();
        searchView.setSearchableInfo(searchManager
                .getSearchableInfo(getComponentName()));

xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><menuxmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" ><itemandroid:id="@+id/search"android:actionViewClass="android.widget.SearchView"android:icon="@drawable/ic_action_search"android:showAsAction="collapseActionView|always"android:title="@string/search_hint"/></menu>

3.Call this method from oncreate.

privatevoidhandleIntent(Intent intent) {
        if (Intent.ACTION_SEARCH.equals(intent.getAction())) {
            String query = intent.getStringExtra(SearchManager.QUERY);

            Debug.e("Suggestion handle click", "call " + query);

            startNextActivity(query);

        }
    }

4. if you are using Autosuggestion Listview implement searchView.setOnQueryTextListener ,setOnSuggestionListener and setSuggestionsAdapter.
