Titanium.App.iOS.SearchableItemAttributeSet

proxyiPhoneiPadmacOSsince 5.0.0

Extends Titanium.Proxy

The SearchableItemAttributeSet module defines metadata properties for SearchItem and UserActivity objects.

The SearchableItemAttributeSet object provides a large number of properties covering most common scenarios such as files, music, video, and document searches. To effectively add and remove information from the iOS search index you will need to use the below listed modules:

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

To create a SearchableItemAttributeSet object, use the Titanium.App.iOS.createSearchableItemAttributeSet method. Pass a dictionary of metadata properties to the method to associate with a SearchableItem object or UserActivity. At minimum, you must set the itemContentType property.

Pass the SearchableItemAttributeSet object to either the Titanium.App.iOS.createSearchableItem method to the attributeSet key or to a UserActivity object's addContentAttributeSet() method.

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"
});

itemAttr.contentDescription ="Tech Example \nOn: " + String.formatDate(new Date(),"short");
itemAttr.keywords =["Mobile","Appcelerator","Titanium"];

var item = Ti.App.iOS.createSearchableItem({
    uniqueIdentifier:"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));
    }
});
