Question

manifest code for the built in search, using the searchview.
can anyone tell me please what is wrong with it?
the SearchableActivity is created in the scr -> presentation, and it is using an xml layout called search.xml. I am new to android and can’t find out what is wrong with my code. when launching the search view typing a word and press on “Go” on the keyboard the debugger opens a ActivityThread.perfor…. and tells me source not found.

here is my hole manifest.xml:

   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

    import myTV.Android.R;
    import android.app.Activity;
    import android.app.SearchManager;
    import android.content.Context;
    import android.content.Intent;
    import android.os.Bundle;
    import android.widget.Toast;

    public class SearchableActivity extends Activity{

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.search);

    // Get the intent, verify the action and get the query
    Intent intent = getIntent();
    if (Intent.ACTION_SEARCH.equals(intent.getAction())) {
      String query = intent.getStringExtra(SearchManager.QUERY);
      doMySearch(query);
    }
}
public void doMySearch(String query){
    //new Request().Search(query);
    //new SearchEpisodes().Search(query);
    Context context = getApplicationContext();
    CharSequence text = query;
    int duration = Toast.LENGTH_LONG;

    Toast toast = Toast.makeText(context, text, duration);
    toast.show();
}


    }

Here is my searchable.xml:

    <searchable xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:hint="@string/SearchHint" >
</searchable>

Try adding the below in your <intent-filter>.

<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
