Customized Search in Android RuntimeException can't set breakpoints

Question

I am trying to implement my own Search using searchable, and as soon as press return after entering a query into my custom search field, I get a RuntimeException:

Thread [<1> main] (Suspended (exception RuntimeException))  
ActivityThread.performLaunchActivity(ActivityThread$ActivityRecord, Intent) line: 2585  
ActivityThread.handleLaunchActivity(ActivityThread$ActivityRecord, Intent) line: 2679   
ActivityThread.access$2300(ActivityThread, ActivityThread$ActivityRecord, Intent) line: 125

ZygoteInit$MethodAndArgsCaller.run() line: 868  
ZygoteInit.main(String[]) line: 626 
NativeStart.main(String[]) line: not available [native method]  

Here is what the logCat reported:

Need to have a constructor that takes no parameters! Tada.
