How to use onItemLongClick to show a context menu?
android, android-contextmenu
Solution
I am trying to show context menu on onItemLongClick
To use the context menu system, you do not implement an `OnItemLongClickListener`. Instead, you call `registerForContextMenu()` (e.g., from `onCreate()` of the activity). Simply delete your `OnItemLongClickListener` from your code shown above, and you should have better luck.
Problem
I tried to get answer here but didn't get any perfect answer. I am trying to show context menu on `onItemLongClick` but no success as i am using both `onItemClick` and `onItemLongClick` i am using `onItemClick` to start a new activity but no success on both. Here is the code ``` @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.all_contacts); contactList = new ArrayList<HashMap<String,String>>(); new LoadAllContacts().execute(); registerForContextMenu(getListView()); ListView listView = getListView(); listView.setOnItemLongClickListener(new OnItemLongClickListener() { @Override public boolean onItemLongClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int postion, long id) { registerForContextMenu( view ); openContextMenu( view ); return true; } }); listView.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() { @Override public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int postion, long id) { Intent intent = new Intent(AllContactsActivity.this, editContactActivity.class); } }); } @Override protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) { super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data); if(resultCode == 100) { Intent intent = getIntent(); finish(); startActivity(intent); } } @Override public void onCreateContextMenu(ContextMenu menu, View v, ContextMenuInfo menuInfo) { super.onCreateContextMenu(menu, v, menuInfo); MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater(); inflater.inflate(R.menu.listview_menu, menu); } @Override public boolean onContextItemSelected(MenuItem item) { switch (item.getItemId()) { case R.id.editContactMI: Intent i = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), editContactActivity.class); i.putExtra(TAG_ID, cId); i.putExtra(TAG_NAME, cName); i.putExtra(TAG_CONTACT_NO, cNumber); startActivityForResult(i, 100); cId = null; cName = null; cNumber = null; break; case R.id.deleteContactMI : new DeleteContact().execute(); break; case R.id.saveContactMI: break; default: cId = null; cName = null; cNumber = null; break; } return true; } ```
