Here's a little helper function to launch the Google quick search box in android ;)
NOTE: This may stop working in a future update to the Google app, be sure to test it out first.
/** * Launch the Google quick search box overlay activity, otherwise, fall back to * launching the device default assist app. */ private void launchQuickSearch(Context context) { Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MAIN); try { // Explicit intent to launch the google quick search box intent.setClassName("com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox", "com.google.android.search.queryentry.QueryEntryActivity"); // If there's no associated activity, then try launching any other available app if (intent.resolveActivity(context.getPackageManager()) != null) {
context.startActivity(intent);
} else { intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_ASSIST); if (intent.resolveActivity(context.getPackageManager()) != null) {
context.startActivity(intent);
} } } catch (ActivityNotFoundException e) { Log.e(TAG, "Google search activity not found"); Log.i(TAG, "Trying to launch default assist app."); intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_ASSIST); if (intent.resolveActivity(context.getPackageManager()) != null) {
context.startActivity(intent);
} } }
@Override public void onClick(View v) { launchQuickSearch(MainActivity.this);
// launchQuickSearch(v.getContext()); }
