Detecting which selected item (in a ListView) spawned the ContextMenu (Android)

Question

I have a ListView that will allow the user to long-press an item to get a context menu. The problem I\'m having is in determining which ListItem they long-press

I case you are using SimpleCursorAdapder you may do it like this

    @Override
public void onCreateContextMenu(ContextMenu menu, View v, ContextMenuInfo menuInfo) {
    getActivity().getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.project_list_item_context, menu);

    // Getting long-pressed item position
    AdapterContextMenuInfo info = (AdapterContextMenuInfo) menuInfo;
    int position = info.position;

    // Get all records from adapter 
    Cursor c = ((SimpleCursorAdapter)getListAdapter()).getCursor();                     

    // Go to required position
    c.moveToPosition(position);

    // Read database fields values associated with our long-pressed item
    Log.d(TAG, "Long-pressed-item with position: " + c.getPosition());
    Log.d(TAG, "Long-pressed-item _id: " + c.getString(0));
    Log.d(TAG, "Long-pressed-item Name: " + c.getString(1));
    Log.d(TAG, "Long-pressed-item Date: " + c.getString(2));
    Log.d(TAG, "Long-pressed-item Path: " + c.getString(3));

    // Do whatever you need here with received values

}
