public class SearchManagerService
extends ISearchManager.Stub

This is a simplified version of the Search Manager service. It no longer handles presentation (UI). Its function is to maintain the map & list of "searchable" items, which provides a mapping from individual activities (where a user might have invoked search) to specific searchable activities (where the search will be dispatched).

Method Detail

getSearchableInfo

public SearchableInfo getSearchableInfo(ComponentName launchActivity,
                                        boolean globalSearch)

Return the searchableinfo for a given activity

Parameters:

launchActivity - The activity from which we're launching this search.

globalSearch - If false, this will only launch the search that has been specifically defined by the application (which is usually defined as a local search). If no default search is defined in the current application or activity, no search will be launched. If true, this will always launch a platform-global (e.g. web-based) search instead.

Returns:

Returns a SearchableInfo record describing the parameters of the search, or null if no searchable metadata was available.
