Constructor Detail

SearchPredicate

public SearchPredicate()

Create a new SearchPredicate. By default, looks into the Visualization.ALL_ITEMS data group and assumes all items should pass the predicate if no search query has been specified.

SearchPredicate

public SearchPredicate(boolean includeAllByDefault)

Create a new SearchPredicate. By default, looks into the Visualization.ALL_ITEMS data group.

Parameters:

includeAllByDefault - indicates if all items should pass the predicate if no search query has been specified.

SearchPredicate

public SearchPredicate(java.lang.String group,
                       boolean includeAllByDefault)

Create a new SearchPredicate.

Parameters:

group - the data group to look up, should resolve to a SearchTupleSet instance.

includeAllByDefault - indicates if all items should pass the predicate if no search query has been specified.
