how to implement voice search?

Here's the code you need. First, check that voice recognition is available on the user's device.

    public void checkVoiceRecognition() {
        // Check if voice recognition is present
        PackageManager pm = getPackageManager();
        List<ResolveInfo> activities = pm.queryIntentActivities(new Intent(
                RecognizerIntent.ACTION_RECOGNIZE_SPEECH), 0);
        if (activities.size() == 0) {
            Toast.makeText(this, "Voice recognizer not present",
                    Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        }
    }

Setup the searchbar and link the voice search item.

mActionVoice = (MenuItem) findViewById(R.id.action_voice);
        mSearchView.setOnMenuItemClickListener(new FloatingSearchView.OnMenuItemClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onActionMenuItemSelected(MenuItem item) {

                if (item.getItemId() == R.id.action_voice)
                {
                    Intent intent = new Intent(RecognizerIntent.ACTION_RECOGNIZE_SPEECH);
                    intent.putExtra(RecognizerIntent.EXTRA_LANGUAGE_MODEL,
                            RecognizerIntent.LANGUAGE_MODEL_FREE_FORM);
                    //... put other settings in the Intent
                    startActivityForResult(intent, 0);
                }
}

Setup onActivityResult.

    @Override
    protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data)
    {
        if (requestCode == 0 && resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
            ArrayList<String> results = data.getStringArrayListExtra(
                    RecognizerIntent.EXTRA_RESULTS);
            mSearchView.setSearchFocused(true);
            mSearchView.setSearchText(results.get(0));
        }
        super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
    }

That should do it! Hope this helped :+1:

In the current build, cursor is not set at end when voice dictation is finished. PR #209 should fix this problem.
