Hello Everyone,
I am developing an Android app, quite novice but i managed so far. I am now hanging on how to use the Searchview to enable users type any landmark they are aware of. Meanwhile, i want to show the possible place names as they type along. I want to query from the selected feature classes in a map service. I have used the sample implementation online but no luck on getting a resource how to deal with map services and layers.
Here is the searching function i got online but i really don't know how to set it up for layers.
private void setupSearchView(MenuItem searchItem) {
if (isAlwaysExpanded()) {
mSearchView.setIconifiedByDefault(false);
} else {
searchItem.setShowAsActionFlags(MenuItem.SHOW_AS_ACTION_IF_ROOM
| MenuItem.SHOW_AS_ACTION_COLLAPSE_ACTION_VIEW);
}
SearchManager searchManager = (SearchManager) getSystemService(Context.SEARCH_SERVICE);
if (searchManager != null) {
List<SearchableInfo> searchables = searchManager.getSearchablesInGlobalSearch();
SearchableInfo info = searchManager.getSearchableInfo(getComponentName());
for (SearchableInfo inf : searchables) {
if (inf.getSuggestAuthority() != null
&& inf.getSuggestAuthority().startsWith("applications")) {
info = inf;
}
}
mSearchView.setSearchableInfo(info);
}
mSearchView.setOnQueryTextListener(this);
}
Screaming for help.
