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?

I am working on an Android app and want to display a menu with some data about the app on a similar menu when you do a long click on the app logo in the main menu of the phone, like the one the YouTube app has, or other Android apps when pressed down.
I am working on Android Studio, and I've searched different sites for info on how to get to the menu, by default the android apps show a menu when long clicked, in which you can choose whether you want to delete the app or something else. I want to know how to access that menu.
At least I want to know the name of the menu so I can do more research, but if anyone knows how to interact with it, it would be great.
This blog explains it nicely

Also FYI, With Q Android is doing some changes in shortcuts api. Do check that as well.
they're called Android App Shortcuts, this could help you answer your question How to create shortcut within app in Android?
Good luck! :)
In sample app, able to see an issue with the Introductory overlay.
Steps to reproduce
1. Open the app with connecting to ChromeCast Receiver
2. Introductory Overlay will be visible with cast icon on top
3. Exit the app using the home button
4. Relaunch the app. Introductory overlay is visible now but without the cast icon
Please find the attached screenshots.
Is there a way to solve this issue. I am using the sdk version 9.8.0 in my app and in that also the issue is visible.
I have currently implemented the search interface in Android using the dialog box. However, I need to change this and place the search edit elsewhere in the app. By default the search dialog is at the very top of the application, and it has to move. Now I see in the documentation: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/search/search-dialog.html it says there is a Widget option with Android 3.0+ however, I still need to support Android 2.1, 2.2
So I would like to use the Android search interface with its advantages like voice search etc, but how can I put the search edit box somewhere other than the very top, and still be compliant for Android 2.1, 2.2?
I am very impressed with the stock Android 3.* Gmail app and I would like to find out how it's done.
The specifics of what I want to learn from the GMAIL app are:
How the list fragment of the various inbox/folders are styled
How the interaction beween the inbox/folder and the email list
How the tapping on the email item will hide the inbox/folders and display the email content, and the animation involved
How the action bars, context menu and other menus get displayed, controller and event handled.
Do you know any app -- which source is open for ppl to learn -- that come close to the Gmail app?
Afaik there is no Honeycomb source and the gmail app is closed source which is just pre installed on all official android devices.
There is no way to get the source code or the layouts of the Gmail Application.
My tip: search for an open source application that has similar features/behaviors and check the code there.
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....
