Using Contextmenu with Listview in Android

Context menu with list view

In Java you must compare strings with .equals() and not ==.

Also, it looks like you are inflating a ContextMenu. You need to implement onContextItemSelected(MenuItem item) and not onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem).

Take a look here: https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/menus.html and scroll down to create a floating context menu.

How to show ContextMenu long click on listview android?

Remove longpress method from your code just, hope it will working

android get listview item by contextmenu

Since your Adapter's data list consists of StructReceiveSms objects, the adapter.getItem(info.position) call in onContextItemSelected() will return the list item the context menu was opened for, but it will need to be cast to the StructReceiveSms type. From this, you can get the userID and username you want.

public boolean onContextItemSelected(MenuItem item)
{
    ...
    StructReceiveSms listItem = (StructReceiveSms) adapter.getItem(info.position);
    String selectedName = listItem.username;
    int selectedId = listItem.userID;
    ... 
}

This is assuming you've not overridden the getItem() method of the Adapter to return something else, but I imagine you would've shown that if you had.

why item context menu is not showing up in listview

Context menu work on long press of list item rather than short click. If you want it to work on short click implement onListItemClick method as below

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

If you want to open the same on some other element like a button you can do as -

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

Otherwise you can also use PopupMenu

add in layout in listview item as -

<ImageButton
   android:layout_width="wrap_content" 
   android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
   android:src="@drawable/ic_overflow_holo_dark"
   android:contentDescription="@string/descr_overflow_button"
   android:onClick="showPopup" />

Then implement your showPopup method as below -

public void showPopup(View v) {
     PopupMenu popup = new PopupMenu(this, v);
     MenuInflater inflater = popup.getMenuInflater();
     inflater.inflate(R.menu.actions, popup.getMenu());
     popup.show();
 }

Context menu android on Listview item with CustomAdapter doesn't show

You've set an OnItemLongClickListener for the ListView, which will run before the context Menu is created. Returning true from its onItemLongClick() method indicates that the long click is being consumed there, so the Menu will not be created.

If you don't actually need the OnItemLongClickListener, you can remove the relevant code. If you do need it as well, for some reason, you can return false from onItemLongClick(), and your Menu will then show.

Android: help create Context menu from listview

This should do the trick. Don't forget to: registerForContextMenu(lvUsers);

/** Called when the activity is first created. */
     @Override
     public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
       super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
       setContentView(R.layout.select);

        mListUsers = getUsers();
        lvUsers = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.lv_user);
        lvUsers.setAdapter(new ListAdapter(this, R.id.lv_user, mListUsers));  
        **registerForContextMenu(lvUsers);**      
        }

@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);
}

@Override
public boolean onContextItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
  AdapterContextMenuInfo info = (AdapterContextMenuInfo) item.getMenuInfo();
  switch (item.getItemId()) {
  case R.id.edit:
    editNote(info.id);
    return true;
  case R.id.delete:
    deleteNote(info.id);
    return true;
  default:
    return super.onContextItemSelected(item);
  }
}

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item android:id="@+id/edit"
          android:title="@string/edit" />
    <item android:id="@+id/delete"
          android:title="@string/delete" />
</menu>

Android ListView with context menu

Just Create menu.xml in res/menu folder Like below example

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:id="@+id/menu_item1" android:title="@string/menu_item1"/ >
<item android:id="@+id/menu_item2" android:title="@string/menu_item2" >
<!-- "file" submenu -->
<menu>
    <item android:id="@+id/sub_menu_item1"
        android:title="@string/sub_menu_item1" />
    <item android:id="@+id/sub_menu_item2"
        android:title="@string/sub_menu_item2" />
</menu>

Create an image Button like bellow example in your layout

<ImageButton
android:layout_width="wrap_content" 
android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
android:src="@drawable/ic_overflow_holo_dark"
android:contentDescription="@string/descr_overflow_button"
android:onClick="showPopup" />

Create Method that display your popup-menu.

public void showPopup(View v) {
  PopupMenu popup = new PopupMenu(this, v);

  // action is your menu.xml file
  // This activity implements OnMenuItemClickListener
  popup.setOnMenuItemClickListener(this);
  popup.inflate(R.menu.actions);
  popup.show();
}
@Override
public boolean onMenuItemClick(MenuItem item) {
switch (item.getItemId()) {
   // your menu id and perform action 
    case R.id.archive:
        archive(item);
        return true;
    case R.id.delete:
        delete(item);
        return true;
    default:
        return false;
}
}
