Android: Context menu on single click

Here is another simpler way to show context menu on single click.

private void addOnClickListener(){    contactList.setOnItemClickListener(new AdapterView.OnItemClickListener()    {        public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id)        {              view.showContextMenu();        }    })}

replace contactList by your ListView and make sure to call this method after the initialization of ListView.

call activity.openContextMenu(l) onitem click event to open contextmenu on single click and onLongClick call activity.closeContextMenu()

Example

import android.app.Activity;import android.app.ListActivity;import android.content.res.Configuration;import android.os.Bundle;import android.view.ContextMenu;import android.view.ContextMenu.ContextMenuInfo;import android.view.View;import android.widget.AdapterView;import android.widget.AdapterView.OnItemLongClickListener;import android.widget.ArrayAdapter;import android.widget.ListView;public class MyListView extends ListActivity implements OnItemLongClickListener {    /** Called when the activity is first created. */    Activity activity = null;    @Override    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);        activity = this;        ArrayAdapter arrayAdapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this,                android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, PENS);        setListAdapter(arrayAdapter);        getListView().setTextFilterEnabled(true);        ListView lv = getListView();        this.registerForContextMenu(lv);        lv.setOnItemLongClickListener(this);    }    @Override    public void onConfigurationChanged(Configuration newConfig) {        // TODO Auto-generated method stub        super.onConfigurationChanged(newConfig);        System.out.println("...11configuration is changed...");    }    static final String[] PENS = new String[]{        "MONT Blanc",        "Gucci",        "Parker",        "Sailor",        "Porsche Design",        "item1",        "item2",        "item3",        "item4",        "item5",        "item6",        "item7",        "item8",        "item9",        "item10",        "item11"    };    protected void onListItemClick(ListView l, View v, int position, long id) {        super.onListItemClick(l, v, position, id);        activity.openContextMenu(l);        System.out.println("...context is called");    }    @Override    public void onCreateContextMenu(ContextMenu menu, View v,            ContextMenuInfo menuInfo) {        // TODO Auto-generated method stub        System.out.println("...on create context menu...");        super.onCreateContextMenu(menu, v, menuInfo);    }    public boolean onItemLongClick(AdapterView<?> arg0, View arg1, int arg2,            long arg3) {        System.out.println("...on long click close context menu...");        activity.closeContextMenu();        // TODO Auto-generated method stub        return false;    }

I don't think it's working smoothly. Calling openContextMenu(l) will cause item.getMenuInfo() to be null (inside method onContextItemSelected(MenuItem item)).

You should call l.showContextMenuForChild(v) instead of openContextMenu(l).
