+
    Android TV uses the Android search interface
+to retrieve content data from installed apps and deliver search results to the user. Your app's
+content data can be included with these results, to give the user instant access to the content in
+your app.
    
+
+
    Your app must provide Android TV with the data fields from which it generates suggested search
+results as the user enters characters in the search dialog. To do that, your app must implement a
+Content Provider that serves
+up the suggestions along with a 
+{@code searchable.xml} configuration file that describes the content
+provider and other vital information for Android TV. You also need an activity that handles the
+intent that fires when the user selects a suggested search result. All of this is described in
+more detail in Adding Custom
+Suggestions. Here are described the main points for Android TV apps.
    
+
+
    This lesson builds on your knowledge of using search in Android to show you how to make your app
+searchable in Android TV. Be sure you are familiar with the concepts explained in the
+Search API guide before following this lesson.
+See also the training Adding Search Functionality.
    
+
+
    This discussion describes some code from the
+Android Leanback sample app,
+available on GitHub.
    
+
+
    Identify Columns
    
+
+
    The {@link android.app.SearchManager} describes the data fields it expects by representing them as
+columns of an SQLite database. Regardless of your data's format, you must map your data fields to
+these columns, usually in the class that accessess your content data. For information about building
+a class that maps your existing data to the required fields, see
+
+Building a suggestion table.
    
+
+
    The {@link android.app.SearchManager} class includes several columns for Android TV. Some of the
+more important columns are described below.
    
+
+
+
+   
+   
+
+

    ValueDescription
    {@code SUGGEST_COLUMN_TEXT_1}The name of your content (required)
    {@code SUGGEST_COLUMN_TEXT_2}A text description of your content
    {@code SUGGEST_COLUMN_RESULT_CARD_IMAGE}An image/poster/cover for your content
    {@code SUGGEST_COLUMN_CONTENT_TYPE}The MIME type of your media (required)
    {@code SUGGEST_COLUMN_VIDEO_WIDTH}The resolution width of your media
    {@code SUGGEST_COLUMN_VIDEO_HEIGHT}The resolution height of your media
    {@code SUGGEST_COLUMN_PRODUCTION_YEAR}The production year of your content (required)
    {@code SUGGEST_COLUMN_DURATION}The duration in milliseconds of your media
    
+
+
    The search framework requires the following columns:
    
+
      
+  
    • {@link android.app.SearchManager#SUGGEST_COLUMN_TEXT_1}
      • 
+  
    • {@link android.app.SearchManager#SUGGEST_COLUMN_CONTENT_TYPE}
      • 
+  
    • {@link android.app.SearchManager#SUGGEST_COLUMN_PRODUCTION_YEAR}
      • 
+
    
+
+
    When the values of these columns for your content match the values for the same content from other
+providers found by Google servers, the system provides a
+deep link to your app in the details
+view for the content, along with links to the apps of other providers. This is discussed more in
+Display Content in the Details Screen, below.
    
+
+
    Your application's database class might define the columns as follows:
    
+
+
    
+VideoDatabase.java
    
+
    +public class VideoDatabase {
+  //The columns we'll include in the video database table
+  public static final String KEY_NAME = SearchManager.SUGGEST_COLUMN_TEXT_1;
+  public static final String KEY_DESCRIPTION = SearchManager.SUGGEST_COLUMN_TEXT_2;
+  public static final String KEY_ICON = SearchManager.SUGGEST_COLUMN_RESULT_CARD_IMAGE;
+  public static final String KEY_DATA_TYPE = SearchManager.SUGGEST_COLUMN_CONTENT_TYPE;
+  public static final String KEY_IS_LIVE = SearchManager.SUGGEST_COLUMN_IS_LIVE;
+  public static final String KEY_VIDEO_WIDTH = SearchManager.SUGGEST_COLUMN_VIDEO_WIDTH;
+  public static final String KEY_VIDEO_HEIGHT = SearchManager.SUGGEST_COLUMN_VIDEO_HEIGHT;
+  public static final String KEY_AUDIO_CHANNEL_CONFIG =
+          SearchManager.SUGGEST_COLUMN_AUDIO_CHANNEL_CONFIG;
+  public static final String KEY_PURCHASE_PRICE = SearchManager.SUGGEST_COLUMN_PURCHASE_PRICE;
+  public static final String KEY_RENTAL_PRICE = SearchManager.SUGGEST_COLUMN_RENTAL_PRICE;
+  public static final String KEY_RATING_STYLE = SearchManager.SUGGEST_COLUMN_RATING_STYLE;
+  public static final String KEY_RATING_SCORE = SearchManager.SUGGEST_COLUMN_RATING_SCORE;
+  public static final String KEY_PRODUCTION_YEAR = SearchManager.SUGGEST_COLUMN_PRODUCTION_YEAR;
+  public static final String KEY_COLUMN_DURATION = SearchManager.SUGGEST_COLUMN_DURATION;
+  public static final String KEY_ACTION = SearchManager.SUGGEST_COLUMN_INTENT_ACTION;
+...
+
    
+
+
    When you build the map from the {@link android.app.SearchManager} columns to your data fields, you
+must also specify the {@link android.provider.BaseColumns#_ID} to give each row a unique ID.
    
+
+
    
+VideoDatabase.java
    
+
    +...
+  private static HashMap buildColumnMap() {
+    HashMap map = new HashMap();
+    map.put(KEY_NAME, KEY_NAME);
+    map.put(KEY_DESCRIPTION, KEY_DESCRIPTION);
+    map.put(KEY_ICON, KEY_ICON);
+    map.put(KEY_DATA_TYPE, KEY_DATA_TYPE);
+    map.put(KEY_IS_LIVE, KEY_IS_LIVE);
+    map.put(KEY_VIDEO_WIDTH, KEY_VIDEO_WIDTH);
+    map.put(KEY_VIDEO_HEIGHT, KEY_VIDEO_HEIGHT);
+    map.put(KEY_AUDIO_CHANNEL_CONFIG, KEY_AUDIO_CHANNEL_CONFIG);
+    map.put(KEY_PURCHASE_PRICE, KEY_PURCHASE_PRICE);
+    map.put(KEY_RENTAL_PRICE, KEY_RENTAL_PRICE);
+    map.put(KEY_RATING_STYLE, KEY_RATING_STYLE);
+    map.put(KEY_RATING_SCORE, KEY_RATING_SCORE);
+    map.put(KEY_PRODUCTION_YEAR, KEY_PRODUCTION_YEAR);
+    map.put(KEY_COLUMN_DURATION, KEY_COLUMN_DURATION);
+    map.put(KEY_ACTION, KEY_ACTION);
+    map.put(BaseColumns._ID, "rowid AS " +
+            BaseColumns._ID);
+    map.put(SearchManager.SUGGEST_COLUMN_INTENT_DATA_ID, "rowid AS " +
+            SearchManager.SUGGEST_COLUMN_INTENT_DATA_ID);
+    map.put(SearchManager.SUGGEST_COLUMN_SHORTCUT_ID, "rowid AS " +
+            SearchManager.SUGGEST_COLUMN_SHORTCUT_ID);
+    return map;
+  }
+...
+
    
+
+
    In the example above, notice the mapping to the {@link android.app.SearchManager#SUGGEST_COLUMN_INTENT_DATA_ID}
+field. This is the portion of the URI that points to the content unique to the data in this row —
+that is, the last part of the URI describing where the content is stored. The first part of the URI,
+when it is common to all of the rows in the table, is set in the
+ {@code searchable.xml} file as the
+
+{@code android:searchSuggestIntentData} attribute, as described in
+Handle Search Suggestions, below.
+
+
    If the first part of the URI is different for each row in the
+table, you map that value with the {@link android.app.SearchManager#SUGGEST_COLUMN_INTENT_DATA} field.
+When the user selects this content, the intent that fires provides the intent data from the
+combination of the {@link android.app.SearchManager#SUGGEST_COLUMN_INTENT_DATA_ID}
+and either the {@code android:searchSuggestIntentData} attribute or the
+{@link android.app.SearchManager#SUGGEST_COLUMN_INTENT_DATA} field value.
    
+
+
    Provide Search Suggestion Data
    
+
+
    Implement a Content Provider
+to return search term suggestions to the Android TV search dialog. The system queries your content
+provider for suggestions by calling the {@link android.content.ContentProvider#query(android.net.Uri,
+java.lang.String[], java.lang.String, java.lang.String[], java.lang.String) query()} method each time
+a letter is typed. In your implementation of {@link android.content.ContentProvider#query(android.net.Uri,
+java.lang.String[], java.lang.String, java.lang.String[], java.lang.String) query()}, your content
+provider searches your suggestion data and returns a {@link android.database.Cursor} that points to
+the rows you have designated for suggestions.
    
+
+
    
+VideoContentProvider.java
    
+
    +@Override
+  public Cursor query(Uri uri, String[] projection, String selection, String[] selectionArgs,
+                      String sortOrder) {
+    // Use the UriMatcher to see what kind of query we have and format the db query accordingly
+    switch (URI_MATCHER.match(uri)) {
+      case SEARCH_SUGGEST:
+          Log.d(TAG, "search suggest: " + selectionArgs[0] + " URI: " + uri);

    In your manifest file, the content provider receives special treatment. Rather than getting
+tagged as an activity, it is described as a
+{@code <provider>}. The
+provider includes the {@code android:searchSuggestAuthority} attribute to tell the system the
+namespace of your content provider. Also, you must set its {@code android:exported} attribute to
+{@code "true"} so that the Android global search can use the results returned from it.
    
+
+
    
+AndroidManifest.xml
    
+
    +<provider android:name="com.example.android.tvleanback.VideoContentProvider"
+    android:authorities="com.example.android.tvleanback"
+    android:exported="true" />
+
    
+
+
    Handle Search Suggestions
    
+
+
    Your app must include a 
+{@code res/xml/searchable.xml} file to configure the search suggestions settings. It inlcudes
+the 
+{@code android:searchSuggestAuthority} attribute to tell the system the namespace of your
+content provider. This must match the string value you specify in the
+{@code android:authorities}
+attribute of the {@code <provider>}
+ element in your {@code AndroidManifest.xml} file.
    
+
+The {@code searchable.xml} file
+must also include the 
+{@code android:searchSuggestIntentAction} with the value {@code "android.intent.action.VIEW"}
+to define the intent action for providing a custom suggestion. This is different from the intent
+action for providing a search term, explained below. See also,
+Declaring the
+intent action for other ways to declare the intent action for suggestions.
    
+
+
    Along with the intent action, your app must provide the intent data, which you specify with the
+
+{@code android:searchSuggestIntentData} attribute. This is the first part of the URI that points
+to the content. It describes the portion of the URI common to all rows in the mapping table for that
+content. The portion of the URI that is unique to each row is established with the {@link android.app.SearchManager#SUGGEST_COLUMN_INTENT_DATA_ID} field,
+as described above in Identify Columns. See also,
+
+Declaring the intent data for other ways to declare the intent data for suggestions.
    
+
+
    Also, note the {@code android:searchSuggestSelection=" ?"} attribute which specifies the value passed
+as the {@code selection} parameter of the {@link android.content.ContentProvider#query(android.net.Uri,
+java.lang.String[], java.lang.String, java.lang.String[], java.lang.String) query()} method where the
+question mark ({@code ?}) value is replaced with the query text.
    
+
+
    Finally, you must also include the 
+{@code android:includeInGlobalSearch} attribute with the value {@code "true"}. Here is an example
+{@code searchable.xml}
+file:
    
+
+
    
+Searchable.xml
    
+
    +<searchable xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
+    android:label="@string/search_label"
+        android:hint="@string/search_hint"
+        android:searchSettingsDescription="@string/settings_description"
+        android:searchSuggestAuthority="com.example.android.tvleanback"
+        android:searchSuggestIntentAction="android.intent.action.VIEW"
+        android:searchSuggestIntentData="content://com.example.android.tvleanback/video_database_leanback"
+        android:searchSuggestSelection=" ?"
+        android:searchSuggestThreshold="1"
+        android:includeInGlobalSearch="true"
+    >
+</searchable>
+
    
+
+
    Handle Search Terms
    
+
+
    As soon as the search dialog has a word which matches the value in one of your app's columns
+(described in Identifying Columns, above), the system fires the
+{@link android.content.Intent#ACTION_SEARCH} intent. The activity in your app which handles that
+intent searches the repository for columns with the given word in their values, and returns a list
+of content items with those columns. In your {@code AndroidManifest.xml} file, you designate the
+activity which handles the {@link android.content.Intent#ACTION_SEARCH} intent like this:
+
+
    
+AndroidManifest.xml
    
+
    +...
+  <activity
+      android:name="com.example.android.tvleanback.DetailsActivity"
+      android:exported="true">
+
+      <!-- Receives the search request. -->
+      <intent-filter>
+          <action android:name="android.intent.action.SEARCH" />
+          <!-- No category needed, because the Intent will specify this class component -->
+      </intent-filter>
+
+      <!-- Points to searchable meta data. -->
+      <meta-data android:name="android.app.searchable"
+          android:resource="@xml/searchable" />
+  </activity>
+...
+  <!-- Provides search suggestions for keywords against video meta data. -->
+  <provider android:name="com.example.android.tvleanback.VideoContentProvider"
+      android:authorities="com.example.android.tvleanback"
+      android:exported="true" />
+...
+
    
+
+
    The activity must also describe the searchable configuration with a reference to the
+{@code searchable.xml} file.
+To use the global search dialog,
+the manifest must describe which activity should receive search queries. The manifest must also
+describe the {@code <provider>}
+element, exactly as it is described in the 
+{@code searchable.xml} file.
    
+
+
    Deep Link to Your App in the Details Screen
    
+
+
    If you have set up the search configuration as described in Handle Search
+Suggestions and mapped the {@link android.app.SearchManager#SUGGEST_COLUMN_TEXT_1},
+{@link android.app.SearchManager#SUGGEST_COLUMN_CONTENT_TYPE}, and
+{@link android.app.SearchManager#SUGGEST_COLUMN_PRODUCTION_YEAR} fields as described in
+Identify Columns, a 
+deep link to your content appears in the details screen that launches when the user selects a
+search result.
    
+
+
    When the user selects the link for your app, identified by the "Available On" button in the
+details screen, the system launches the activity which handles the {@link android.content.Intent#ACTION_VIEW}
+(set as 
+{@code android:searchSuggestIntentAction} with the value {@code "android.intent.action.VIEW"} in
+the {@code searchable.xml} file).
    
+
+
    You can also set up a custom intent to launch your activity, and this is demonstrated in the
+Android Leanback
+sample app. Note that the sample app launches its own LeanbackDetailsFragment to
+show the details for the selected media, but you should launch the activity that plays the media
+immediately to save the user another click or two.
