Gesture Search does a force close on invokcation from another application

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
I am invoking Gesture Search with the following code taken from GestureApiDemo

      @Override
      public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
        switch (item.getItemId()) {
          case GESTURE_SEARCH_ID:
            try {
              Intent intent = new Intent();
              intent.setAction("com.google.android.apps.gesturesearch.SEARCH");
              intent.setData(DrugDBSQLFormat.SEARCH_CONTENT_URI);
              intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION);
              intent.putExtra(SHOW_MODE, SHOW_ALL);
              intent.putExtra(THEME, THEME_LIGHT);

              startActivityForResult(intent, GESTURE_SEARCH_ID);
            } catch (ActivityNotFoundException e) {
                Toast t = Toast.makeText(this, "Google Gesture Search application needs to be installed", Toast.LENGTH_LONG);
                t.show();

            }
            break;

I have provided a contentProvider of my own. 

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Once the GestureSearch is launched (from menu option), it does a force cose 
with few seconds of delay. Nothing comes on screen before force close. Note 
that the Gesture Search application itself when laucnhed directly (and not 
through application) works fine. I do not see a stack dump also in logcat 
(debugging on an actual android phone)

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Gesture search 1.4.1 and Android 2.2.1

Please provide any additional information below.

I have the same issue on HTC FLYER.
Example code is working well on SONY XPERIA Mini but not working on HTC FLYER.

Anyone knows how to solve this issue ?
