I have a little problem. Every time I make search a new Activity is being created, and I don’t want that to happen. I want it to return to the same activity. How can I do so?

Hi Michiel,
First of all, thank you for posting this. However, I am facing problems like where exactly should I place the codes? I’ve added the OnCreate function into my MySearchActivity.jav file and it came out with alot of errors. This is how my codes look like.

package com.sp.edu.sg;

import android.R;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;

public class MySearchActivity extends Activity {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
}
}
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

final Intent queryIntent = getIntent();
final String queryAction = queryIntent.getAction();
if (Intent.ACTION_SEARCH.equals(queryAction)) {
String searchKeywords = queryIntent.getStringExtra(SearchManager.QUERY);
}
}

Hope you can reply me asap. Thank you so much and all the best to you!
