Using contextmenu with listview in android

Question

I am developing an android application.I will have a listview and i have set a context menu to appear when a listview item is long-pressed.How do i get the item from the listview item selected(say text from a listview textview) after an action from the contextmenu is chosen so i can process it? Here is some code:

protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {     -------     lv1 = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.listings);      registerForContextMenu(lv1);     lv1.setOnItemClickListener(this);  } 

And the onCreateContextMenu:

public void onCreateContextMenu(ContextMenu menu, View v,         ContextMenuInfo menuInfo) {     super.onCreateContextMenu(menu, v, menuInfo);     MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater();     inflater.inflate(R.menu.context_menu, menu); }  @Override public boolean onContextItemSelected(MenuItem item) {     AdapterContextMenuInfo info = (AdapterContextMenuInfo) item             .getMenuInfo();     switch (item.getItemId()) {     case R.id.watch:         String name = "";         return true;     case R.id.buy:         return true;     default:         return super.onContextItemSelected(item);     } } 

I want to get text from a textview in a list item.How do i achieve that?

Answer 1

you should register the LISTVIEW for the context menu.

Here's the source.

for onCreate():

 registerForContextMenu(lv); 

And to access the selected item during long click:

@Override public void onCreateContextMenu(ContextMenu menu, View v, ContextMenu.ContextMenuInfo menuInfo) {    if (v.getId() == R.id.lv) {        ListView lv = (ListView) v;        AdapterView.AdapterContextMenuInfo acmi = (AdapterContextMenuInfo) menuInfo;        YourObject obj = (YourObject) lv.getItemAtPosition(acmi.position);         menu.add("One");        menu.add("Two");        menu.add("Three");        menu.add(obj.name);    } }
