Beginner here looking to make a proof of concept App to demo. I have a simple app laid out with 2 screens (XML layouts and Activities are already created). The first screen has a SearchView Widget in the center of the screen. When a user performs a search I would simply like the app to go to the 2nd screen regardless of what the user inputs. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
<SearchView
android:id="@+id/searchView1"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="55dp"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_marginTop="50dp"
android:background="@drawable/ic_blanksearch"
android:clickable="true"
android:hint="@string/search_hint"
android:textColorHint= "#000000"
android:padding="10dp" >
</SearchView>
Here is all that is in my MainActivity.java
package com.tcw.gametime;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.MenuItem;
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
}
@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
return true;
}
@Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
// Handle action bar item clicks here. The action bar will
// automatically handle clicks on the Home/Up button, so long
// as you specify a parent activity in AndroidManifest.xml.
int id = item.getItemId();
if (id == R.id.action_settings) {
return true;
}
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
}
You need to start the second activity from the first one (the one containing the SearchWidget), for example if there is a button called 'search' in your activity and if the second activity (the one you want to launch) is called ResultActivity, you should do something like that:
button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener(){
@Override
public void onClick(View v){
Intent act = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), ResultActivity.class);
startActivity(act);
}
});
Edit for the SearchView, you should do
private SearchView search;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
search = (SearchView) findViewById(R.id.searchView1);
search.setOnSearchClickListener(new View.OnClickListener(){
@Override
public void onClick(View v){
Intent act = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), ResultActivity.class);
startActivity(act);
}
});
}
