Titanium.App.iOS.SearchableIndex
> Titanium.App.iOS.SearchableIndex

The SearchableIndex module is used to add or remove Ti.App.iOS.SearchableItem objects from the device search index.

To effectively add and remove information from the iOS search index you will need to use the following modules:

To use this feature make sure you have a compatible device running iOS 9 or later.

Examples

Add Searchable Content to the On-Device Index

The following example demonstrates how to create a new Ti.App.iOS.SearchableItem and add a Ti.App.iOS.SearchableItemAttributeSet. The Ti.App.iOS.SearchableItem is then passed to the Ti.App.iOS.SearchableIndex object to add it to the on-device search index.

app.js

var searchItems = [];
var itemAttr = Ti.App.iOS.createSearchableItemAttributeSet({
    itemContentType: Ti.App.iOS.UTTYPE_IMAGE,
    title:"Titanium Core Spotlight Tutorial",
    contentDescription:"Tech Example \nOn: " + String.formatDate(new Date(),"short"),
    keywords:["Mobile","Appcelerator","Titanium"]
});

var item = Ti.App.iOS.createSearchableItem({
    identifier:"my-id",
    domainIdentifier:"com.mydomain",
    attributeSet:itemAttr
});
searchItems.push(item);

var indexer = Ti.App.iOS.createSearchableIndex();

indexer.addToDefaultSearchableIndex([searchItems],function(e){
    if(e.success){
        alert("Press the home button and now search for your keywords");
    }else{
        alert("Errored: " + JSON.stringify(e.error));
    }
});

Indicates if the proxy will bubble an event to its parent. ...

Indicates if the proxy will bubble an event to its parent.

Some proxies (most commonly views) have a relationship to other proxies, often established by the add() method. For example, for a button added to a window, a click event on the button would bubble up to the window. Other common parents are table sections to their rows, table views to their sections, and scrollable views to their views. Set this property to false to disable the bubbling to the proxy's parent.

Default: true

The Window or TabGroup whose Activity lifecycle should be triggered on the proxy.

The Window or TabGroup whose Activity lifecycle should be triggered on the proxy.

If this property is set to a Window or TabGroup, then the corresponding Activity lifecycle event callbacks will also be called on the proxy. Proxies that require the activity lifecycle will need this property set to the appropriate containing Window or TabGroup.

Removes the specified callback as an event listener for the named event. ...

Removes the specified callback as an event listener for the named event.

Multiple listeners can be registered for the same event, so the callback parameter is used to determine which listener to remove.

When adding a listener, you must save a reference to the callback function in order to remove the listener later:

var listener = function() { Ti.API.info("Event listener called."); }
window.addEventListener('click', listener);

To remove the listener, pass in a reference to the callback function:

window.removeEventListener('click', listener);

Parameters

  • name : String

    Name of the event.

  • callback : Callback<Object>

    Callback function to remove. Must be the same function passed to addEventListener.
