A sample application that demonstrates Android's search framework.
This application includes a dictionary of words. By invoking the Android search dialog inside the app (via the device search button or Menu > Search), you can perform a search across the dictionary. As you type, suggestions will appear, which you can select to view the complete definition. You can also execute the search to view all word definitions that match the entered text. The application also allows Quick Search Box (Android's system-wide search) to provide dictionary suggestions.
The code in this application demonstrates how to:
SimpleCursorAdapter
to
bind data from a Cursor to a ListView.See also:
Note: For the original version of Searchable Dictionary, which
reads words from a file instead of a database and uses a custom BaseAdapter
, see the SDK
samples included with the platforms for API Level 4-6.
