no search with touchscreen-only phone

[GoogleCodeExporter]

using a Samsung Galaxy S that has only the virtual keyboard there's no way to 
search.
Holding the menu button brings up the quick search that searches the whole 
phone for stuff, but not a search inside the passwords.
Please add an additional "Search" button in the menu

Hi larski,

Is there any other key that might bring up the virtual keyboard?  The long 
press on the menu button may likely be NexusOne specific.

Nope. There's only 3 buttons: menu which opens the system search on long press, 
home for start screen and app switcher, back. so no way at all to bring up a 
keyboard.
in other apps keyboard is shown on focusing a text field but as there isn't one 
in secret...

Same problem with the Samsung Galaxy S, long pressing the menu brings up the 
samsung search app but it won't search your secrets.
I think the only solution for it to work with current (and future) devices 
would be to add a search bar beneath the secrets list. (Possibly optional for 
devices with keyboard through a menu setting).

Running version 1.9.3 on a Samsung Galaxy S I'm still not able to search only 
through my secrets. Could you describe how it is supposed to work?

BTW Long pressing menu still opens system search. Is it possible to override 
that? So that while in secrets-for-android long pressing the menu button open 
secrets-for-android's search?

The fix is broken for the same reason the initial implementation was broken: On 
3 button-devices there's no search button, instead long-press on menu opens 
search. Thus we can neither use search nor long-press menu to open the keyboard!
Why not just add a "search" item in menu? Or add a permanent search field at 
the top of the passwords list? That'd fix it for everyone.

Reopening bug.  Simply adding a menu is not that simple, since the menu items 
are designed such that they appear in the right place/order whether its the 
first time secrets is used or not, if there is a secret selected or not, if a 
restore file exists or not,  whether the user is currently editing a secret or 
not, etc.  I don't want to  put code in the menus that is device specific, 
since a Search menu item is not useful on many devices.

I don't have access to a Galaxy S, I'll look into how to fix this differently.

the menu is different when looking at the list from when editing/adding a 
secret. so putting it in the list one shouldn't be any problem from what i can 
tell.
with add, backup, restore, export, import currently in the menu a search item 
wouldn't hurt anyone

Fixed in version 1.9.5 (revision 122) to integrate with the standard Android 
search dialog.  On a Samsung Galaxy S, long pressing the MENU key should bring 
up a search box for searching your secrets.

larskl: could you please try it by installing from 
http://code.google.com/p/secrets-for-android/downloads/detail?name=secrets-1.9.5
.apk ?  If it works for you, I will update in the market.

Using version 1.9.5 Search now works perfectly on the Samsung Galaxy S. Thank 
you!
