    <p>I'm implementing my own <code>SearchRecentSuggestionsProvider</code> and everything's working except one thing: I can't get the device search to display icons for the results. I'd like to display images from my application's data folder (located at <code>/{sdcard}/Android/data/package_name/files/</code>)</p> <p>According to <a href="http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/SearchManager.html#SUGGEST_COLUMN_ICON_1" rel="nofollow">the documentation</a>, it's achievable by using <code>SearchManager.SUGGEST_COLUMN_ICON_1</code>, and it apparently supports a number of schemes, including <code>ContentResolver.SCHEME_FILE</code>, which is <code>file</code>. Here's a quote from the official docs:</p> <blockquote> <p>Column name for suggestions cursor. <em>Optional.</em> If your cursor includes this column, then all suggestions will be provided in a format that includes space for two small icons, one at the left and one at the right of each suggestion. The data in the column must be a resource ID of a drawable, or a URI in one of the following formats:</p> <p>content (<code>SCHEME_CONTENT</code>)</p> <p>android.resource (<code>SCHEME_ANDROID_RESOURCE</code>)</p> <p>file (<code>SCHEME_FILE</code>)</p> </blockquote> <p>I've tried a number of obvious things, including manual creation of the file URI and automated creation using <code>Uri.Builder()</code>. None of this worked.</p> <p>I also found someone else asking about the same thing on Google Groups, and it's sadly unanswered: <a href="https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/android-developers/MJj7GIaONjc" rel="nofollow">https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/android-developers/MJj7GIaONjc</a></p> <p>Does anyone have any experience in getting the device search to display local images from the device?</p> <p><strong>UPDATE (December 15):</strong> I've just tried using the <code>ContentProvider</code> with a <code>SearchView</code> as the searchable info, and it works exactly as expected - including the cover art images. Still, global search doesn't show it...</p>

    3. COI wonder if perhaps you'll have to implement your own `ContentProvider` to expose the images in your app's `data` folder. Have you tried that? Could be worth a shot, especially since it's not too complicated. Alternatively, have you tried loading an image through the `file://` scheme from a more public location? For example, the root of the SD card?

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
