SearchField

A field designed to process and return stylized search results

When ComboBox isn't doing it for you, the SearchField allows you to eagerly process search keywords, and return a result in the way that suits your application best.

Requires SuperImmediateTextField and PopupButton.

Sample code

public class SearchfieldApplication extends Application {

    // An example implementation on ResultDisplayer
    public class ResultDisplayerExample implements ResultDisplayer {

        public Layout processSearch(final List<String> keywords) {
            final Layout cssLayout = new CssLayout();

            for (final String keyword : keywords) {
                cssLayout.addComponent(new Label(keyword));
            }

            return cssLayout;
        }
    }

    @Override
    public void init() {
        setTheme("searchfield");

        final Layout cssLayout = new CssLayout();
        final Panel panel = new Panel("SearchField example");
        panel.setContent(cssLayout);
        panel.setSizeFull();

        final Window mainWindow = new Window("Searchfield Application");
        mainWindow.setContent(panel);
        setMainWindow(mainWindow);

        mainWindow.addComponent(new Label(
                "This application's ResultDisplayer will create a "
                        + "Layout with Labels for each keyword."));

        // Create a new SearchField, with ResultDisplayerExample to handle the
        // processing and rendering
        mainWindow.addComponent(new SearchField(new ResultDisplayerExample()));
    }
}
