title: SearchView as part of the AlertDialog
body: <p>[This is posted on Android Developer's forum as well]</p>
  
  <p>I am trying to place the search widget [<code>SearchView</code> basically] in the
  title part of an <code>AlertDialog</code>. Is that allowed, i.e. will it work? The
  idea is to have the user enter a search word and when he/she presses
  the <kbd>Enter</kbd> key on the keyboard, to use the search word entered to
  search through an array of strings and display the result as a
  <code>listView</code> in the same <code>AlertDialog</code>'s body portion. The following is the
  piece of relevant code.</p>
  
  <pre><code>AlertDialog.Builder dialogBuilder = new
  AlertDialog.Builder(MainActivity.this);
  
  RelativeLayout titleLayout = new RelativeLayout(this);
  SearchView sv = new SearchView(this);
  titleLayout.addView(sv);
  
  dialogBuilder.setCustomTitle(titleLayout);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>When I run this code, I see the search widget in the title alright.
  The Virtual/Soft keyboard pops up when I click inside the search box -
  but I am unable to type in it because the <code>AlertDialog</code> disappears as
  soon as I click anywhere outside of it (as it should). I am wondering
  if the keyboard is associated with the activity that is launching the
  <code>AlertDialog</code> instead of being in the context of the <code>AlertDialog</code> itself.</p>
  
  <p>Any ideas?</p>
  
  <p>TIA.</p>
