IMPORTANT: Implementing ANEs in your AIR projects means you may be required to add some dependencies or copy some frameworks or editing your app's manifest file. Our ANE setup instruction is designed in a human-readable format but you may still need to familiarize yourself with this format. Read this post for more information

If you think manually setting up ANEs in your projects is confusing or time-consuming, you better check the ANELAB Software.

Air Usage

import com.myflashlab.air.extensions.spotlight.*

var _ex:Spotlight = new Spotlight();
_ex.addEventListener(SpotlightEvents.INDEXING_SUCCESS, onIndexingSuccess);
_ex.addEventListener(SpotlightEvents.INDEXING_FAILURE, onIndexingFailure);
_ex.addEventListener(SpotlightEvents.DELETING_SUCCESS, onDeletingSuccess);
_ex.addEventListener(SpotlightEvents.DELETING_FAILURE, onDeletingFailure);
_ex.addEventListener(SpotlightEvents.SEARCH_SELECTED, onSearchSelected);

trace("isIndexingAvailable = " + _ex.isIndexingAvailable);

// add as many required items as required by your app
var att:AttributeSet = new AttributeSet(ContentType.kUTTypeItem, "com.site.uniquIdentifier.1", "domain.identifier.1");
att.general.title = "The title";
att.documents.contentDescription = "The description";
att.general.keywords = ["Adobe Air", "ANE", "MyFLashLabs"];
att.general.thumbnailURL = File.applicationDirectory.resolvePath("spotlightIcon.jpg").nativePath;

// you should index your search items like this:
_ex.indexItems([att]);

private function onIndexingSuccess(e:SpotlightEvents):void
{
	trace("on indexing completed successfully");
}

private function onIndexingFailure(e:SpotlightEvents):void
{
	trace("on indexing failed! try again: " + e.msg);
}

private function onDeletingSuccess(e:SpotlightEvents):void
{
	trace("on deleting success");
}

private function onDeletingFailure(e:SpotlightEvents):void
{
	trace("on deleting failed: " + e.msg);
}

private function onSearchSelected(e:SpotlightEvents):void
{
	// when an item is touched in the spotlight search results, the unique identifier will be delivered here
	// so you will know which of your items has been selected and can take the user to a specefic page related
	// to what they have clicked.
	trace("on search result touched: " + e.msg);
}
