Android :: Best Practice For Opening Context Menu - Like From Short Button Click?
Oct 1, 2010I have a button that says "Sort" and when a user normal/short presses the button, I want a menu to appear with the various sort options. Looking around online there doesn't seem to be a straight forward answer to which route is considered best practice. I'm looking to have a menu that looks similar to this: For an example, click the Layers button in the Google Maps app. It opens a list of options on a single short click. It has a title at the top and icons for each option. (The icons aren't super crucial) Should I use a Context Menu? If so, how do I do it without a long press. Should it be a Spinner? If so how do I change the appearance to use a button instead of the normal drop down box.

Jan 8, 2010I'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?

Aug 9, 2010I have a need to capture some user input when an activity opens for the first time. I'm hoping to give the user a list of options to select from, which will be pulled in dynamically. I'll then store the selected value locally for future use. I'm not finding a way to do what I'm after and was wondering if anyone has run into this before and how they solved it.

Apr 20, 2010I 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);

Android :: Want To Set Up A Context Menu In An AlertDialog?
Nov 13, 2010I'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...
Android :: Sharing A Context Menu Between Activities
Jun 22, 2010I 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?

View 2 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Identifying Id Of Listitem For Context Menu
May 6, 2010I 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.
Android :: How Can I A Context Menu Without Registering View
Aug 4, 2010How 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.
