Different data types can be aggregated via Summon simple interface : apps, contacts, settings...
Each data types uses three classes :
- A provider, which knows all of its items (e.g. all contacts), and responsible for filtering those records according to the query
- A holder, which is a POJO storing simple data for one item (e.g. contact name, display name, phone number, photo)
- A record, which ensure the holder is properly displayed in the list
Controlling the workflow is SummonActivity, intializing the UI, dispatching the query to the providers and ordering the results according to their relevance and user search history.
This is clearly not as easy as it ought to be.
