How to Handle Voice Search?

[goclixy-core]

Thank you for the great SearchView.

I am having a problem with Voice Search. Your sample application does not include its working. Could you please explain its implementation?

Hi,

There is no direct support for voice search. Instead, you have to implement it yourself by adding it as a MenuItem in xml and then respond to its clicks from within:

mSearchView.setOnMenuItemClickListener(new FloatingSearchView.OnMenuItemClickListener() {
      @Override
      public void onMenuItemSelected(MenuItem item) {                  

      }
   });

Please refer to Configure menu items section in README

Here is a method to handle Voice Search

final int VOICE_SEARCH_CODE = 3012;

public void startVoiceRecognition() {
	Intent intent = new Intent("android.speech.action.RECOGNIZE_SPEECH");
	intent.putExtra("android.speech.extra.LANGUAGE_MODEL", "free_form");
	intent.putExtra("android.speech.extra.PROMPT", "Sepeak Now");
	this.startActivityForResult(intent, VOICE_SEARCH_CODE);
}

 @ Override
public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
	if (requestCode == VOICE_SEARCH_CODE && resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
		ArrayList < String > matches = data
			.getStringArrayListExtra("android.speech.extra.RESULTS");
		searchView.setSearchText(matches.get(0));
	}
	super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
}
