Multiple client ids

Right now one client ID can only support one search feature. If you want to use multiple search features in your app, you should use multiple client IDs. In addition, if you want to use the same search feature in different entry points in your app, you should also use different client IDs for each of them to distinguish the traffic.

For your each request, you can proactively set a client ID in GetSearchSuggestionsViewOptions, GetTrendingSearchesViewOptions or GetSearchContentViewOptions, and this ID will override the default client ID in the AndroidManifest.xml file (only for this request).

    container.addView(generator.populateView(this));
