Android open ContextMenu on short click + pass item clicked details

 lv.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {
             @Override
          public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) {
              TextView text = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.btitle);
              registerForContextMenu(text);
              view.showContextMenu();
              }
            });
       }

     @Override
     public void onCreateContextMenu(ContextMenu menu, View v, ContextMenuInfo menuInfo) {
       super.onCreateContextMenu(menu, v, menuInfo);
       TextView text = (TextView) v.findViewById(R.id.btitle);
       CharSequence itemTitle = text.getText();
       menu.setHeaderTitle(itemTitle);

       MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater();
       inflater.inflate(R.menu.context_menu, menu);

     }

Hello,

I'm trying to open a contextMenu on short item click. I've managed to do so only if I add registerForContextMenu(getListView()); somewhere but this also triggers conte开发者_高级运维xtMenu on long click (which I don't want to happen).

• Tried view.showContextMenu() but it doesn't do anything unless I add the registerForContextMenu(getListView()); .
• Tried registering the clicked item first and then call the showContextMenu() but didn't do anything as well...

Also, I want to get the clicked item image + text so I can use them in the contextMenu.

Appreciate the help!

I was able to open a context menu on button click with the following code:

public void onButtonClickEvent(View sender)
{
    registerForContextMenu(sender); 
    openContextMenu(sender);
    unregisterForContextMenu(sender);
}

Just set the onClick property of the button to onButtonClickEvent. A long click won't trigger the context menu, since it is unregistrered right after it is shown.

Regarding opening a context menu on a short click:

The other solutions posted here didn't work for me because I was using a ListFragment. However the following solution seems to work quite nicely for both a ListFragment and a ListActivity (or just any old listview in general):

public void onListItemClick(ListView l, View v, int position, long id){
  l.showContextMenuForChild(v);   
}

It's much more simple and elegant. In fact, this is actually how the ListView class itself initiates the context menu on a long click.

Solution:

@Override
    public void onCreateContextMenu(ContextMenu menu, View v, ContextMenuInfo menuInfo) {
      super.onCreateContextMenu(menu, v, menuInfo);
      MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater();
      inflater.inflate(R.menu.context_menu, menu);

      AdapterView.AdapterContextMenuInfo info = (AdapterView.AdapterContextMenuInfo)menuInfo;
      long itemID = info.position;
      menu.setHeaderTitle("lior" + itemID);
    }

AdapterView.AdapterContextMenuInfo info = (AdapterView.AdapterContextMenuInfo)menuInfo;

gives you more details about the list item clicked. Then you can use info.id, info.position and so on to retrieve the details and use them actions (edit, delete...).

In my case I had BaseAdapter and implemented click on button for each listView item (in getView method):

ImageButton menuBtn = (ImageButton) convertView.findViewById(R.id.itemListMenu);
menuBtn.setOnClickListener(new android.view.View.OnClickListener() {
    public void onClick(View v) {
        parent.showContextMenuForChild(v);
    }
 });

I believe that if you add an OnLongClickListener to the view, you should be able to prevent it from showing the context menu on long click.

In onItemClick the view parameter is the item view, so you should be able to get ImageViews or TextViews from that:

view.findById(R.id.my_image_view);

My Solution:

    mListView.setOnItemClickListener(new AdapterView.OnItemClickListener()
    {
        @Override
        public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id)
        {               
            mListView.showContextMenuForChild(view);
        }
    });
