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 contextMenu 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!

Answer 1

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);

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);
    }

the "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...).
