Android : Why Doesn't Context Menu Work In "Notepad" Tutorial
May 24, 2010
I'm working through the 'notepad' tutorial given in the developer's guide: http://developer.android.com/guide/tutorials/notepad/index.html
For some reason, even when i'm using their solution files, the context menu does not come up with i 'click and hold' on a list entry.
The class extends ListActivity, and calls "registerForContextMenu(getListView());"
but I never see the context menu fire. Any idea what's wrong with it?

I am trying to write an app which has an ImageView and the app allows to perform panning on the image. I also want to register context menu with this ImageView so that on long press Context menu comes up. I tried playing around with the onTouch method, but could not get it working.
On long press, i do see context menu. But, while panning also the context menu comes up. I want that context menu is displayed only when long press is performed and not while panning. If I return true from the down event, the context menu fails to come up.
Please find the snippet of the code below for the reference. Code...

Basically, I'm unable to make a briefcase folder on my phone's SD card. I can make new folders, but I don't get the range of options that you would normally get when hovering your cursor over the "New" option (when opening the "New" context menu) when accessing my SD card via a usb cable plugged into the phone; I'm actually able to get the context menu when accessing the SD card by sticking it straight into the computer, but when it remains in my phone (and the phone's hooked up to the computer), I don't get the context menu.
Here's what I want:
Obviously, I can just use the SD card by plugging it directly into the computer, but it's inconvenient to take off the case, remove the back, etc. I'd rather just plug a USB cable directly into the phone. Why is my phone preventing me from getting that context menu when doing so though?

I'm trying to run the Android Notepadv3 app on the Motorola Droid. When I am creating a new note, if I rotate my phone so that the view should switch to horizontal, or if I open it up so the keyboard is exposed, the app freezes and crashes.
I haven't modified the program in anyway from Exercise 3 solution (http://developer.android.com/resources/tutorials/notepad/index.html). Any ideas why this is happening?

Here's my story.
I downloaded the NotePad tutorial project exercise files.
I created an Android project based on the tutorial files for the completed exercise (located in the Notepadv3Solution folder)
I run the project and bellow is a screenshot of what appears:
It doesn't seem to be working properly.
Could it be because I'm on version 2.2?

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 am completely exhausted to think logically right now..... I am sure it is pretty easy to implement
I have a menu item which when selected would call another activity class. I am using switch case to select between menu items. I tried creating an Intent to start activity using the Class name but doesn't work.

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 so far found two bugs in Galaxo 1.6.3:
a) Speaker doesn't work in call (very weak). works well in ringtones etc.
b) Scrolling contacts by letter doesn't work.
Other than that this is a leap forward, especially with the overclock options!
Both bugs, as well as others, fixed in 1.6.3.1 update!

the difference between context menu and option menu in android? When I click the menu button on the emulator, is that option menu? or context menu? And how to invoke the other menu (not trigger by the menu button)?

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'm on Mac OS X Leopard and installed the ADT plugin into Eclipse Galileo. I followed all these steps to get started:
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
My SDK version is 2.2 API 8 revision 2 and I just used the Hello World tutorial found here:
[url]
When I first created the Android application, I saw this error in the Eclipse console:
[2010-11-13 18:20:43 - HelloAndroid] ERROR: Unable to open class file / Users/mydirectory/Documents/workspace/HelloAndroid/gen/com/example/ helloandroid/R.java: No such file or directory
I commented out this line to fill in the few lines from the tutorial:
setContentView(R.layout.main);
When I ran the app, it launched my emulator but all I saw was a vertical screen on the left that said "ANDROID" and phone buttons on the right. I did not see the "Hello, Android" text from the tutorial.

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.
