Android :: How To Create Context Menu Using XML File
Apr 7, 2010
I am using XML file for creating Context Menu for my ListView. (Please see below). I also want to set a header for this Context Menu. I read (at http://www.mail-archive.com/android-developers@googlegroups.com/msg43062.html)that I can use menu.setHeaderTitle(myContextMenuTitle) in onCreateContextMenu Method. But I need to set this in XML file. How can I accomplish this?
Following is code for onCreateContextMenu Method, correct me if I am doing anything wrong. This is my context_menu.xml file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:id="@+id/open" android:title="Open"/>
</menu> Code...

I'm getting all kinds of errors when using res/menu/menu_home.xml, and my project won't build. That's when I remembered that there was a way to create menus from java code instead of declaring it via xml. Does someone remember how to do that?

Is it possible to create a dynamic context menu in android? What I mean is, for example, if I have a list of items, that can be in two states: "read" and "unread". I want to be able to bring up a context menu with an option of "Mark as Read" for the unread items, and "Mark as Unread" for the read items.....

This maybe against the way the Android team wants this to work, but if not I can't seem to come up with a way to do this. Basically I have a list view that I want to create a ContextMenu when onListItemClick received. So when the user clicks on a list item I want them to choose the action from a ContextMenu. Anyone have an example of how to do this, I can get it to work with no problems with a long press, but my users are missing the menu and just thinking the ListView does nothing.

is it possible to start a context menu on the onCreate method? I know its probably bad design ethics but I have my resons! I've tried the: register For Context Menu (this.getCurrentFocus()); But its not working.. So does anyone have any better ideas?
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
LinearLayout layout = new LinearLayout(this);
layout.setLayoutParams(new
LayoutParams(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));
//Button button = new Button(this);
//button.setLayoutParams(new
//LayoutParams(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));
//button.setText("my button");
TextView text = new TextView(this);
text.setLayoutParams(new
LayoutParams(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));
layout.addView(text);
setContentView(layout);
registerForContextMenu(text);
openContextMenu(layout);

How can I launch a contextmenu from a contextmenu? I'm trying to replicate the MediaPlayer action that happens when you long click a song, then click "Add to playlist" in the resulting contextmenu. When you click that menu item, another contextmenu pops up with "Add to playlist" as the title, and "Current playlist", "New", and however-many-playlists-you-have defined after that.

I'm trying to add custom menu items in a WebView Context Menu. Unfortunately, my items are shown in the menu of the first web page I load , but then if I load a second page, a long press only shows the standard context menu items. Mine are gone. I've put a Toast inside the code and it is displayed as well on the first loaded page, but not on the second. I'm using the code below:..............

i have got a stupid question to ask. I created a custom ContextMenu. But when i call the menu, the menu displayed will also have the default menu added in. Is there anyway for the default ContextMenu not to appear as well?Code requested: @Override public void onCreateContextMenu(ContextMenu menu, View v, ContextMenuInfo menuInfo)
super.onCreateContextMenu(menu, v, menuInfo);
MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater();
menu.setHeaderTitle("Recipients");
inflater.inflate(R.menu.menu_contacts, menu);

I have a ListView with a ContextMenu, it has one CheckBox (the CheckBox has android:focusable="false") and one TextView per row, but you can hide the TextView in the preferences menu. After doing that, the CheckBox wasn't registering the ContextMenu, so of course, why not register For Context Menu(cb) and unregisterForContextMenu(getListView())? Yes, i did that, but then, when when i call the delete command of onContextItemSelected, the app crashs. AdapterContextMenuInfo info=(AdapterContextMenuInfo)item.getMenuInfo(); db.deletarTarefa(info.id);

I have a context menu option that, when clicked, will load some information from the web and insert it into a database.So this is a lengthy process and I would like to display a progressdialog over the top of the context menu when this option is selected.I've got the progressdialog running now, but it won't show up.It's almost like the context menu is covering it.So is there a way that I could get the progressdialog to show up on top of the context menu and be visible to the user.

I have a ListView with 5 items. Each of the items can be long pressed to open a Context Menu. The Menu has 5 options and I want them to be selectable, by having a check box. I know of the multiple choice listview but was not sure how to have this checkbox feature in a ContextMenu.Does anyone know if this is possible and if so, how?

I have a context menu that starts to do some calculations when you press one of the context menu items.While the calculations are made I have a progressbar that I want to show. The progressbar is called from the calculations() method. The problem is that I can only see the context menu while the calculations are being made and the phone is more or less frozen.

if google voice is installed on your phone, when you dial a phone number a context menu pops up asking if you want to dial with or without google voice. I would like to accomplish the same task for dialing a number or sending a text message. Does the API allow you to do that?It seems there is a process_outgoing_calls, in the permissions manifest, but is there anything for the SMS?

I'm trying to add a context menu to my ExpandableListView. I've implemented onCreateContextMenu() and onContextItemSelected() but if I hold my finger on a menu item context menu doesn't appear. What's my mistake?

I have a ListActivity with a list of names (Jacob, Will, Matt, etc.). I have a contextMenu which gives the user the option to edit or delete the person. I know how to find the id to perform the edit and delete functionality, but I can't figure out how to get the person's name to be added to the intent extras or to add a toast when a delete occurs.
Here is a snippet of code that I'm using for the context menu: Code...

I've been working at this all day, and I'm really close but just can't get this to work. I have a button that pulls up an AlertDialog populated with saved entries that include Name and Price. Right now, I can click an item in the Dialog and have it automatically fill in the Name and Price fields in my activity. I want to also be able to long press an item and receive an option to delete it. This is my first try at an Android app, and a lot of this is repurposed from the Notepad Tutorial. Two things I can't figure out:
1) Is my registerForContextMenu sufficient/correct?
2) What am I doing wrong with my onCreateContextMenu? Code...

I have two activities that both contain an identical context menu built programmatically using menu.add(int, int, int, CharSequence). They both use onCreateContextMenu and onContextItemSelected.
The first Activity contains a ListView, when the user long presses on an item the context menu appears for that item. The second Activity (a detail screen for each item in Activity 1) contains a button, when the user presses the button the context menu appears.
I'd like to share the code that creates the context menu between these activities. The only thing these activities share is the context menu, so it seems like a bit of overkill to create a superclass (e.g., ActivityOne extends ContextMenuActivity) that defines onCreateContextMenu and onContextItemSelected methods.
Is there a better way of sharing these methods between activities?

Having a little trouble working out how to have a context menu working in my GLSurfaceView view. There doesn't seem to be a "onCreateOptionsMenu" or "onOptionsItemSelected" to override. I do notice a "setOnCreateContextMenuListener" but I don't know how to use it.

While Contextmenu items support calling setIcon : menu.add(0,).setIcon( R.drawable.xxx); the icon never gets displayed. Is this a bug? a feature? Is there a reasonably priced workaround for getting icons onto context menus?

I have a View that extends Activity. A ListView will display a number of listitems. When the user long clicks I would like to present them with a contextmenu allowing them to select edit, delete etc. and then identify the listitem that was selected as the item to perform the action on.
In onCreate I have:
listView.setAdapter(adapter);
listView.setOnItemClickListener(onListClick);
listView.setOnItemLongClickListener(onListLongClick);
registerForContextMenu(listView);
I have a method onCreateContextMenu
@Override
public void onCreateContextMenu(ContextMenu menu, View v,
ContextMenuInfo menuInfo) {
super.onCreateContextMenu(menu, v, menuInfo);
menu.setHeaderTitle("Context Menu");
menu.add(0, v.getId(), 0, "Edit");
menu.add(0, v.getId(), 0, "Delete");
and also onContextItemSelected
@Override
public boolean onContextItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
if (item.getTitle() == "Edit") {
// edit action
} else if (item.getTitle() == "Delete") {
// delete action
} else {
return false;
return true;
}I am not sure where to go from here to get the correct row/listitem.

I'm writing a program where the user's finger will often linger on the screen for more than the couple of seconds it takes for the context menu to activate. I have a class that controls when this should happen, but I seem to be unable to launch the context menu manually. As a last resort I decided to register the context menu just before running openContextMenu(View) and while this /did/ grant me a context menu, it subsequently disabled the calls to onTouchEvent when the user touches the screen, rendering the program unusable after showing the context menu. What is the correct way of manually opening the context menu? Why does onTouchEvent suddenly stop receiving events?

How can I open a context menu for a view without registering it using registerForContextMenu()?
My activity overrides onTouchEvent to detect motion, and if I use registerForContextMenu() it stops working. I'm detecting a long press, so I'd like to forward that request to a method that would build the menu for me, but don't know if it can work that way.
