getGlobalSearchActivity

open fun getGlobalSearchActivity(): ComponentName!

Gets the name of the global search activity.

getSearchableInfo

open fun getSearchableInfo(componentName: ComponentName!): SearchableInfo!

Gets information about a searchable activity.

getSearchablesInGlobalSearch

open fun getSearchablesInGlobalSearch(): MutableList<SearchableInfo!>!

Returns a list of the searchable activities that can be included in global search.

onCancel

open fun onCancel(dialog: DialogInterface!): Unit

Deprecated: This method is an obsolete internal implementation detail. Do not use.

onDismiss

open fun onDismiss(dialog: DialogInterface!): Unit

Deprecated: This method is an obsolete internal implementation detail. Do not use.

setOnCancelListener

open fun setOnCancelListener(listener: SearchManager.OnCancelListener!): Unit

Set or clear the callback that will be invoked whenever the search UI is canceled.

Configuration.UI_MODE_TYPE_TELEVISION does not support this method.

setOnDismissListener

open fun setOnDismissListener(listener: SearchManager.OnDismissListener!): Unit

Set or clear the callback that will be invoked whenever the search UI is dismissed.

Configuration.UI_MODE_TYPE_TELEVISION does not support this method.

startSearch

open fun startSearch(
    initialQuery: String!, 
    selectInitialQuery: Boolean, 
    launchActivity: ComponentName!, 
    appSearchData: Bundle!, 
    globalSearch: Boolean
): Unit

Launch search UI.

The search manager will open a search widget in an overlapping window, and the underlying activity may be obscured. The search entry state will remain in effect until one of the following events:

• The user completes the search. In most cases this will launch a search intent.
• The user uses the back, home, or other keys to exit the search.
• The application calls the stopSearch method, which will hide the search window and return focus to the activity from which it was launched.

Most applications will not use this interface to invoke search. The primary method for invoking search is to call android.app.Activity#onSearchRequested or Activity.startSearch().

stopSearch

open fun stopSearch(): Unit

Terminate search UI.

Typically the user will terminate the search UI by launching a search or by canceling. This function allows the underlying application or activity to cancel the search prematurely (for any reason).

This function can be safely called at any time (even if no search is active.)

Configuration.UI_MODE_TYPE_TELEVISION does not support this method.

triggerSearch

open fun triggerSearch(
    query: String!, 
    launchActivity: ComponentName!, 
    appSearchData: Bundle!
): Unit

Similar to startSearch but actually fires off the search query after invoking the search dialog. Made available for testing purposes.
