I have uploaded an application in Android market. But when I search for the app the app do not appear in the autocomplete box which appears below the search box.
For example, if I type "h" in the search box the autocomplete box will have the applications with "h". But in my case I need to type the complete name of the application.
Why is it so? Is there something that I am missing.
For my phone, HTC Magic Android 1.6 it doesn't dynamically search the market as I type. You have to type something then hit enter/search and it will find it. Just like using Google.
It does however dynamically show my recent search entries. So if I start type "h" it will show my recent keywords I used to search starting with "h".
I don't know if this goes for newer versions of Android....

I can find my app when I search about it in English and using the same bundle key (ex: tawfeercom )

The app targeting Jordanian store and they use Arabic language as from right to left language. But you wont be able to find it with its title when you past this (توفيركم) in search bar.
Everything look normal to me in store listing and custom store listing, but I couldn't figure out how!
Here are the steps you will have to follow to achieve the same. Sometimes you will have to wait util your app gets search ranking.

The explanation is quiet clear to follow. Hope this helps.
You can check Supported languages for confirmation about the availability of language you are using.

I have a search option on the action bar and to the left side of it, I will have "Search by University". Similar to the amazon app in the screenshot.
So, when a user clicks on "Search by University", it takes them to a new activity to select any university from the list of universities acronyms that will be displayed.
Now, my problem is because of space constraints on Mobile devices, I am using acronyms instead of full name of universities. I need a way to show mobile users full form of each acronym when they want to see. What is the best presentable way for providing that in mobile apps? I was thinking of adding a Dialog for each acronym using an exclamatory icon or something? Not really sure.
How is it possible to display the input text as it is instead of star for a moment in a password field in a JQM android phonegap application. (This is working in android 4.1 but not in android 2.2)
Thnx
I think it is platform specific. Just checked few apps in my android 2.3 v mobile and there was no character display , when you press it.
I recommend not to go for it. Still some possible solutions would be ( if you are too much bothered about it)
Create an event and show the pressed character for a second using javascript ( but you will have to check the platform and disable this when the app is in 4.1/ other higher versions as there is already a display there)
put an option "show password" ,and show the whole password. ( Standard approach )
I am new to android and have been teaching myself how to create apps through the android developers website. My app itself is like a recipe book. It lets me add my favourite recipes to a database so therefore where ever I am I am able to see what ingredients and the method for creating my favourite dishes. The list is getting rather long now so I was wondering if there was a way to search through a list like you do for contacts in your phone book. This would make things a lot easier for me.
Thanks in advance
You can actually integrate the Android search box (the one that pops up when you hit the "search" hardware key) into your application, so it searches your data. There's a page on Using the Android Search Dialog in the Android Developer Guide.
Also for user convenience and habbits to use search button you can override onSearchRequested method and do anything you want, show additional layout etc...
I was unable to find the google's search widget on the home screen
neither on the the list of available widgets.If i click menu from the
home screen and if i press search nothing happens.
I could neither find an option called "Search" in settings page from
where i could enable my application in searchable items.The issue is
we have enabled Global search for our application and previously if
used to show search results from my application if i search here.
I tested this in a stimulator and i am yet to test it on a device.
Has it been removed in 2.2?
This was a bug in Android SDK 2.2 which was later confirmed by a Google employee in a separate post
Android 2.2 AVD: no Quick Search Box?
