I am developing an android app which requires search functionality.
My app contains action bar and I have search button on it. On click of search button, I want search dialog to appear on top and do some search for me.
I need help in implementing this.
I tried the Google I/O sched project, but its too complex for me.
Can anybody help me develop a simple search dialog.

Also, I want the search to have 2 search options.
I have 2 different lists containing different data. So, I want to make search on both these lists but separately.
Check out this twitter app, the search bar has 2 options, it can search from tweets or people, I want some thing like thatA.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks
