Transdroid Torrent Search is an Android application that provides torrent search results to other Android apps by exposing ContentProviders. Originally part of Transdroid, it now supplies torrent links for 15+ public and private torrent sites to various torrent-related Android applications.

The latest .apk is available via transdroid.org/latest-search and code is available under the Lesser GPL v3 license.

Transdroid Torrent Search provides access to torrent searches on a variety of sites. Instead of providing a search interface itself, it allows Android application to access the data via a content provider.

Acquiring search results for a specific query can be as easy as as two lines of code:

Uri uri = Uri.parse("content://org.transdroid.search.torrentsearchprovider/search/" + query);
Cursor results = managedQuery(uri, null, null, null, null);

The returned Cursor can be used in a ListActivity or elsewhere. The following fields are available in the returned cursor:

String[] fields = new String[] { "_ID", "NAME", "TORRENTURL", "DETAILSURL", "SIZE", "ADDED", "SEEDERS", "LEECHERS" };

A specific site may be queried and the preferred sort order can be given:

Uri uri = Uri.parse("content://org.transdroid.search.torrentsearchprovider/search/" + query);
Cursor results = managedQuery(uri, null, "SITE = ?", new String[] { siteCode }, sortOrder)

Here, siteCode is the code of one of the supported torrent sites. The default is RARBG. The orderCode is either BySeeders (default) or Combined. Note that no errors are returned when a site or sort order doesn't exist (although they are written to LogCat); a null Cursor is returned instead. (This is a limitation of ContentResolvers.)

To get a listing of (the codes of) the support torrent sites, including custom RSS sites defined, you may use another provider:

uri = Uri.parse("content://org.transdroid.search.torrentsitesprovider/sites");
Cursor sites = managedQuery(uri, null, null, null, null);

The returned Cursor contains the following fields:

String[] fields = new String[] { "_ID", "CODE", "NAME", "RSSURL" };
