Question

i’m searching the equivalent to Androids searchable in Monodroid, because monodroid generates the application xml manifest automatically. Is there a way to have an own application xml and say to the monodroid compiler that this xml should be bound into compilation?

Answer 1

Adding those lines to the Search-Activity it generates the correct manifest:

[IntentFilter (new[]{Intent.ActionSearch})]
[MetaData ("android.app.searchable", Resource="@xml/searchable")]

This is all.
