Public constructors

Builder

Added in 1.0.0

public Builder(@NonNull SearchTemplate.SearchCallback callback)

Returns a new instance of a Builder with the input SearchCallback.

Note that the callback relates to UI events and will be executed on the main thread using getMainLooper.

Parameters
`@NonNull SearchTemplate.SearchCallback callback`	the callback to be invoked for events such as when the user types new text, or submits a search

Public methods

build

Added in 1.0.0

public @NonNull SearchTemplate build()

Constructs the SearchTemplate model.

Throws
`java.lang.IllegalArgumentException`	if the template is in a loading state but the list is set

setActionStrip

Added in 1.0.0

public @NonNull SearchTemplate.Builder setActionStrip(@NonNull ActionStrip actionStrip)

Sets the ActionStrip for this template.

Unless set with this method, the template will not have an action strip.

Requirements This template allows up to 2 Actions in its ActionStrip. Of the 2 allowed Actions, one of them can contain a title as set via setTitle. Otherwise, only Actions with icons are allowed.

Throws
`java.lang.IllegalArgumentException`	if `actionStrip` does not meet the requirements
`java.lang.NullPointerException`	if `actionStrip` is `null`

setHeaderAction

Added in 1.0.0

public @NonNull SearchTemplate.Builder setHeaderAction(@NonNull Action headerAction)

Sets the Action that will be displayed in the header of the template.

Unless set with this method, the template will not have a header action.

Requirements This template only supports either one of APP_ICON and BACK as a header Action.

Throws
`java.lang.IllegalArgumentException`	if `headerAction` does not meet the template's requirements
`java.lang.NullPointerException`	if `headerAction` is `null`

setInitialSearchText

Added in 1.0.0

public @NonNull SearchTemplate.Builder setInitialSearchText(@NonNull String initialSearchText)

Sets the initial search text to display in the search box.

Throws
`java.lang.NullPointerException`	if `initialSearchText` is `null`

setItemList

Added in 1.0.0

public @NonNull SearchTemplate.Builder setItemList(@NonNull ItemList itemList)

Sets the ItemList to show for search results.

The list will be shown below the search box, allowing users to click on individual search results.

Requirements The number of items in the ItemList should be smaller or equal than the limit provided by CONTENT_LIMIT_TYPE_LIST. The host will ignore any items over that limit. The list itself cannot be selectable as set via setOnSelectedListener. Each Row can add up to 2 lines of texts via addText and cannot contain a Toggle.

Throws
`java.lang.IllegalArgumentException`	if `itemList` does not meet the template's requirements
`java.lang.NullPointerException`	if `itemList` is `null`

setLoading

Added in 1.0.0

public @NonNull SearchTemplate.Builder setLoading(boolean isLoading)

Sets whether the template is in a loading state.

If set to true, the UI will display a loading indicator where the list content would be otherwise. The caller is expected to call invalidate and send the new template content to the host once the data is ready. If set to false, the UI shows the ItemList contents added via setItemList.

setSearchHint

Added in 1.0.0

public @NonNull SearchTemplate.Builder setSearchHint(@NonNull String searchHint)

Sets the text hint to display in the search box when it is empty.

The host will use a default search hint if not set with this method.

This is not the actual search text, and will disappear if user types any value into the search.

If a non empty text is set via setInitialSearchText, the searchHint will not show, unless the user erases the search text.

Throws
`java.lang.NullPointerException`	if `searchHint` is `null`

setShowKeyboardByDefault

Added in 1.0.0

public @NonNull SearchTemplate.Builder setShowKeyboardByDefault(boolean showKeyboardByDefault)

Sets if the keyboard should be displayed by default, instead of waiting until user interacts with the search box.

Defaults to true.
