Show context menu from code behind
Call openContextMenu() on your Activity whenever you want to open it. Note that this is a rather unusual UI pattern, one that your users may not expect.
OnClickListener onClick_Show_Contextmenu = new OnClickListener() { @Override public void onClick(View v) { ((Activity) context).openContextMenu(v); } }; findViewById(R.id.xxx).setOnClickListener(onClick_Show_Contextmenu); registerForContextMenu(findViewById(R.id.xxx)); findViewById(R.id.xxx).setLongClickable(false);
you can use any of the following:
- openContextMenu as shown here:
registerForContextMenu(view); openContextMenu(view);unregisterForContextMenu(view);
