Building a Mobile Employee Directory – Step 6: Create a Search Interface using Android’s search dialog
For the source code relating to this post, checkout this Github repository.
Continuing with the mobile employee directory example, I’ve added a Search Interface using Android’s search dialog.
MainActivity.java
package com.himebaugh.employeedirectory;
import java.util.List;
import android.annotation.TargetApi;
import android.app.ListActivity;
import android.app.SearchManager;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.database.Cursor;
import android.net.Uri;
import android.os.AsyncTask;
import android.os.Build;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v4.widget.SimpleCursorAdapter;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.MenuItem;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.ListView;
import android.widget.SearchView;
import android.widget.TextView;
// GOAL: Build a native android Mobile Employee Directory
// ** The result is similar to the sample with Flex and Flash Builder
// see http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/articles/employee-directory-android-flex.html
// PURPOSE: Learning how to build an Android App.
// Step 6: Create a Search Interface using Android's search dialog.
// 1) Modify MainActivity (add SearchView to onCreateOptionsMenu, add onSearchRequested() to onOptionsItemSelected )
// 2) Modify EmployeeProvider (Add Search logic within the ContentProvider)
// 3) Create SearchableActivity
// 4) Create searchable.xml (in res/xml)
// 5) Modify main.xml (in res/menu)
// 6) Modify strings.xml (in res/values)
// 7) Modify AndroidManifest.xml
// Step 6B: Pass data to DetailActivity using Intent.ACTION_VIEW in place of intent.putExtra
// 1) Modify MainActivity (add Intent.ACTION_VIEW in onListItemClick )
// 2) Modify DetailActivity
// 3) Modify AndroidManifest.xml (add android:mimeType="vnd.android.cursor.item...)

Is it possible to add/edit/delete any employee thru coding to this directory app??? if so then plz tell me???
The code has been place on GitHub. Download at https://github.com/langhimebaugh/EmployeeDirectory/tree/Step-6
