Android Search Dialog And Suggestions Listview: Change Theme And Colours

I've implemented a simple search dialog that performs a custom search of the data within my app (Via a custom provider) as according to the guidelines here: http://developer.androi

Solution 1:

After 13 hours spent on the question, it turns out it's not possible for some reason. Apps that do have visually customized search dialogs- even if it's just the colours - must implement them manually, and probably don't use the standard search interfaces.

Solution 2:

as per google docs SearchDialog is

"The search dialog is a UI component that's controlled by the Android system."

So to have a control over search visuals use as for today :

ActionBarSherlock dev branch

https://github.com/JakeWharton/ActionBarSherlock/tree/dev

and this :

to implement fully controlable search
