Why won't expandablelistview work with context menus?

Question

My app used to use a standard ListView, and registerForContextMenu(getListView()) and everything worked just fine.

I needed to change my app to accommodate nested lists so I replaced the ListView with ExpandableListView. I changed the Activity to ExpandableListActivity. I also changed my adapter to a tree adapter and implemented a custom view class to populate the list with (based on a FrameLayout view).

Suddenly my context menus stopped working and I can't figure out why. I can't long click on any of my list items and I'm completely stuck on where to start looking.

Answer 1

Probably another view then your listitems receives the longclick. I would add OnLongClickListener to all views and create log what listener gets triggered by a longclick.

Otherwise it might help to see something from your code to spot an error.
