    text
    copied!<p>I've followed the <a href="http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/SearchManager.html" rel="noreferrer">SearchManager</a> documentation yet am still having trouble making one of my app's activities searchable. From my activity, the Search dialog appears, I enter a query, hit search, my activity reopens, then I see this in the log:</p> <pre><code>D/SearchDialog( 584): launching Intent { act=android.intent.action.SEARCH flg=0x10000000 cmp=com.clinkybot.geodroid2/.views.Waypoints (has extras) } I/SearchDialog( 584): Starting (as ourselves) #Intent;action=android.intent.action.SEARCH;launchFlags=0x10000000;component=com.clinkybot.geodroid2/.views.Waypoints;S.user_query=sdaf;S.query=sdaf;end I/ActivityManager( 584): Starting activity: Intent { act=android.intent.action.SEARCH flg=0x10000000 cmp=com.clinkybot.geodroid2/.views.Waypoints (has extras) } D/WAYPOINTS( 1018): NI Intent { cmp=com.clinkybot.geodroid2/.views.Waypoints (has extras) } D/WAYPOINTS( 1018): NI null D/WAYPOINTS( 1018): NI false </code></pre> <p>It appears to me that everything is fine up until the last three lines. The "NI" lines are <code>getIntent().toString(), getIntent().getAction()</code>, and <code>getIntent().hasExtra(SearchManager.QUERY)</code> respectively.</p> <p>ActivityManager appears to be starting my activity with the correct action. Then when my activity starts, it contains no action!? What am I doing wrong?</p> <p>The relevant portion of my manifest is:</p> <pre><code>&lt;activity android:name=".views.Waypoints" android:label="Waypoints" android:launchMode="singleTop"&gt; &lt;intent-filter&gt; &lt;action android:name="android.intent.action.SEARCH" /&gt; &lt;category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" /&gt; &lt;/intent-filter&gt; &lt;meta-data android:name="android.app.searchable" android:resource="@xml/searchable" /&gt; &lt;/activity&gt; </code></pre>
