Using contextmenu with listview in android

you should register the LISTVIEW for the context menu.

Here's the source.

for onCreate():

 registerForContextMenu(lv);

And to access the selected item during long click:

@Overridepublic void onCreateContextMenu(ContextMenu menu, View v, ContextMenu.ContextMenuInfo menuInfo) {   if (v.getId() == R.id.lv) {       ListView lv = (ListView) v;       AdapterView.AdapterContextMenuInfo acmi = (AdapterContextMenuInfo) menuInfo;       YourObject obj = (YourObject) lv.getItemAtPosition(acmi.position);       menu.add("One");       menu.add("Two");       menu.add("Three");       menu.add(obj.name);   }}

To get the item from the ListView item selected refer to ContextMenuInfo object (see last implemented method below). Full solution as follows:

1) register ListView for context menu in ListActivity class

@Overridepublic void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);    // ...    getListView().setAdapter(mAdapter);    registerForContextMenu(getListView());}

1a) if you have complex View on your list you might need to enable long click on each list view in Adapter class

@Overridepublic View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {    View view = convertView;    if (view == null) {        RelativeLayout layout = (RelativeLayout) LayoutInflater.from(mContext).inflate(R.layout.list_item, parent, false);        itemLayout = layout;        itemLayout.setLongClickable(true);    }    // ...    return view;}

2) implement onCreateContextMenu() and onContextItemSelected() in ListActivity class

@Overridepublic void onCreateContextMenu(ContextMenu menu, View v, ContextMenuInfo menuInfo) {    super.onCreateContextMenu(menu, v, menuInfo);    AdapterContextMenuInfo info = (AdapterContextMenuInfo) menuInfo;    String title = ((MyItem) mAdapter.getItem(info.position)).getTitle();    menu.setHeaderTitle(title);    menu.add(Menu.NONE, MENU_CONTEXT_DELETE_ID, Menu.NONE, DELETE_TEXT);}@Overridepublic boolean onContextItemSelected(MenuItem item) {    switch (item.getItemId()) {    case MENU_CONTEXT_DELETE_ID:        AdapterContextMenuInfo info = (AdapterContextMenuInfo) item.getMenuInfo();        Log.d(TAG, "removing item pos=" + info.position);        mAdapter.remove(info.position);        return true;    default:        return super.onContextItemSelected(item);    }}

1) First we use

 @Override public void onCreateContextMenu(ContextMenu menu, View v, ContextMenuInfo menuInfo) {    super.onCreateContextMenu(menu, v, menuInfo);    menu.add("View Selected Text");}

2)list--is ref if ListView

registerForContextMenu(list);

3)

@Overridepublic void onCreateContextMenu(ContextMenu menu, View v, ContextMenuInfo menuInfo) {    super.onCreateContextMenu(menu, v, menuInfo);    if(item.getTitle().equals("View Selected Text"))    {        AdapterContextMenuInfo menuInfo = (AdapterContextMenuInfo) item.getMenuInfo();        Contact c=array.get(menuInfo.position);        Toast.makeText(List.this, "Selected String is :-"+c.toString(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();    }}
