  II. Overview

  1. Goal

  We have had an Android App that supports showing, inserting, editing, deleting Notes from/to SQLite Database with ListView:

In this tutorial, we will add Search function for this app:

2. Search function

2.1 SearchView

SearchView widget is available from Android 3.0. It is recommended to insert the search widget as an action view in the app bar.

For example, enable the widget during the onCreateOptionsMenu() callback:

override fun onCreateOptionsMenu(menu: Menu?): Boolean {
    menuInflater.inflate(R.menu.menu_main, menu)

    val searchView: SearchView = menu!!.findItem(R.id.searchNote).actionView as SearchView
    val searchManager = getSystemService(Context.SEARCH_SERVICE) as SearchManager

    searchView.setSearchableInfo(searchManager.getSearchableInfo(componentName))
    searchView.setOnQueryTextListener(object : SearchView.OnQueryTextListener {

        override fun onQueryTextSubmit(query: String): Boolean {
            loadQuery("%" + query + "%")
            return false
        }

        override fun onQueryTextChange(newText: String): Boolean {
            return false
        }
    })

We need to enable assisted search for each SearchView by calling setSearchableInfo() and passing it the SearchableInfo object that represents searchable configuration.
