I am using a combination of CoreSpotlight api and NSUserActivity api to index app content. Everything goes well until I tap a search result. The userInfo passed with userActivity in continueUserActivity method contains only one item i.e kCSSearchableItemActivityIdentifier. My other custom keys are nil.
Here is my code for indexing items..
class MyTestViewController:UIViewController{
viewDidLoad(){
searchHandler = SearchHandler()
searchHandler.index(items)
}
}
class SearchHandler{
var activity: NSUserActivity!
func index(items:[Item]){
for item in items{
let attributeSet = getSearchItemAttribute(item)
if let attributeSet = attributeSet{
let searchableItem = CSSearchableItem(uniqueIdentifier: item.uniqueId, domainIdentifier:itemType.groupId(), attributeSet: attributeSet)
searchableItem.expirationDate = item.expirationDate
addToSpotlight([searchableItem])
}
activity = NSUserActivity(activityType: searchPrivacy.activity())
activity.delegate = delegate
//meta data
activity.title = item.title
var userInfoDic = [NSObject:AnyObject]()
userInfoDic["indexItemType"] = itemType.rawValue
userInfoDic["address"] = item.title
activity.userInfo = userInfoDic
if item.expirationDate != nil { activity.expirationDate = item.expirationDate! }
if item.keywords != nil { activity.keywords = item.keywords! }
activity.contentAttributeSet = attributeSet
//eligibility
activity.eligibleForHandoff = false
activity.eligibleForSearch = true
activity.eligibleForPublicIndexing = true
activity.requiredUserInfoKeys = Set(["indexItemType","address"])
activity.becomeCurrent()
}
}
private func getSearchItemAttribute(item:Item) ->CSSearchableItemAttributeSet?{
if item.contentType != nil { // add an entry to core spot light
let attributeSet = CSSearchableItemAttributeSet(itemContentType: item.contentType!)
attributeSet.relatedUniqueIdentifier = item.uniqueId
HALog.i("item.uniqueId= \(item.uniqueId)")
attributeSet.title = item.title
attributeSet.thumbnailData = item.thumbnailData
attributeSet.thumbnailURL = item.thumbnailUrl
attributeSet.rating = item.ratings
attributeSet.ratingDescription = item.ratingDescription
attributeSet.contentDescription = item.contentDescription
return attributeSet
}
return nil
}
private func addToSpotlight(searchableItems:[CSSearchableItem]) {
CSSearchableIndex.defaultSearchableIndex().indexSearchableItems(searchableItems) { (error) -> Void in
if let error = error {
HALog.e("Deindexing error: \(error.localizedDescription)")
} else {
HALog.i("Search item successfully indexed!")
}
}
}
}
Whenever I try to access indexItemType or address keys in userInfo its always nil.
I have tried all the solutions from these threads:
None of the above solved my problem. I am currently using Xcode 7 with iOS 9.
