but does it work with android 3.0? i tried to fix it but android causes me to pull my hairs out lol thanks

As far as I remember last I tested it worked fine, but I did not originally author the Android Port. Susan took lead to port it to Android so I'll connect with her soon and find out if 3.0 is up-to-par. Thanks MYSPS!

What problems are you having with Android? I know it worked in my app. I wish I could take credit for it, but David book gets the credit. I think I did the layout files myself, though.

Yes, I'm not sure if you guys noticed but the self-hosted BTM_search folder (just downloaded again) does not contain the source-android-3.0 or android-fragment folder hence it does not work in the 3.0 Android project.

That makes sense. David, you just have to set up your folders right for android. Just copy another plugin format. I just tried it and it worked, but it didn't alphabetize the list. It searches all of the screen nicknames, and displays the screen nicknames. Displaying the navBartitleText may be better, although I find myself using blank navBarTitleText for design reasons. So the screen nickname may be the best thing to display.

I just got this working on my BT hosted app by downloading the self-hosted code and importing the three files into Eclipse. Pretty slick - seems to work nicely! I also see that it the list is not arranged alphabetically - it seems to be based on the order of the items in the config file. Also, I prefer the navBarTitleText to be displayed instead of the nickname, and I was able to get this by changing the "String rowTitle" to equal BT_strings.getJsonPropertyValue(thisScreen.getJsonObject(), "navBarTitleText", ""); I didn't actually know until this thread that the search worked for Android! I have to test a bunch more still, but I'm excited to implement this into my apps.

Hmmm 3.0? Last time I tried to port it I was grieved with errors :( :(

knock knock????

I went to the plug-in page and downloaded the self-hosted package (even though I use the BT control panel). In that package there are a few folders for different platforms and versions. I copied files from the "source-android" folder; the xml files went into res>layout, and the java file went into src where all my other java files are. I don't recall getting any errors. I'm using a BT 3.0 code download from around 1-3 weeks ago.

interesting, it created errors for me. i'll try again. thanks Peterj
