I'm relatively new to Android and I'm working on my first application,A dictionary.Till now, I'm able to display the list of words and provide for a mechanism to add words in a bookmarks list but I'm not able to figure out how to add the search functionality using fts3 in Sqlite.What I require is to provide suggestions when the user searches for a particular word in the application. Can someone tell me how to proceed??
AutoCompleteTextView will help you.

What is the right way to get multiple user inputs in android? So basically something like this, and then use those inputs to find related data on the database. Thank you.
Use android searchView and chip concept.
I have been struggling with a problem from past few days.
We have to implement a search feature that must be able to search the content that is written in other languages but searched in English pronunciation. For example if there is a content like below
Hello is translated as 你好 in Chinese, Pronounced as Nǐ hǎo, so if the user types Nǐ hǎo in the search field 你好 should be in the search results.
I found that contacts app is doing something similar for which I have uploaded a screenshot here. I thought that we have to go with some Transliteration kind of idea, but it won't work here as the content is dynamic. So I wanted to know what might be a simpler way to achieve this.
I am not sure on where to start with this issue. Can anyone please point me to a link that would help me with this?
Thanks in advance.
The Contacts app isn't doing transliteration in real-time when you search for a word.
It stored the phonetic-name of a contact into the contact details, and searches for the regular display-name as well as the phonetic field.
I think you need something else, that will happen in real-time
There was a feature request for this to be added to Android, but it was rejected.
I have been learning Android programming from various books and tutorials from roughly 4-5 months now and have a basic idea of most of the things in Android Programming and I recently started with the Notepad Tutorial and now have the final application after Exercise 3.
I want to add the search feature to my app. So that the notes that are stored in the database can be searched i.e. a word given as search query is checked in the body section of all the notes and then only those notes are listed which contain that specific word.
Please can you suggest some modifications in the existing code or suggest what will be needed to implement this search feature?
How can the SQLite query be modified for this?
or should I use indexof() method of Java after storing the body of all the notes in a String Array? and then just displaying those elements of the array using the for loop and if condition with the indexof() method??
You should integrate this with Search Framework of Android

I'm very new to programming, so be gentle.
My goal is to make a simple app that as you type in a search term, it will list all entries from a database that start with those letters. Basically it's a listing of all auto-complete options that fit what has been typed in so far from a database of words.
I'm just trying to get an idea as to how to approach this task. Any helpful code would be much appreciated! Thanks!
Android has that all worked out. You want to use the AutoCompleteTextView.
Here is Android's tutorial to get you started with their AutoCompleteTextView.
Ok, currently I have a view in my android app that displays a list of contacts for our agents that is retrieved via a web service.
I have built a simple array adapter that binds my contact objects to the listactivity and just uses a contactrow.xml template to display anywhere from 1 to 1000 contacts.
This works fine but is lacking at best. I want to replicate the way that contacts are scrolled in the android contact app. Is there is way to have the ABC's indexed to the right and help the end user navigate this contact list the same way they would expect?
Does the CursorAdapter help accomplish this? What is the best approach?
What you're looking for is the AlphabetIndexer class. I've not used it personally, but here is a tutorial that may help you:
