Here is a clean way to use menu context on RecyclerView items

First, you need an item position

In Adapter class:

 /**
 * Custom on long click item listener.
 */
onLongItemClickListener mOnLongItemClickListener;

public void setOnLongItemClickListener(onLongItemClickListener onLongItemClickListener) {
    mOnLongItemClickListener = onLongItemClickListener;
}

public interface onLongItemClickListener {
    void ItemLongClicked(View v, int position);
}

In onBindViewHolder hook the custom listener:

        // Hook our custom on long click item listener to the item view.
        holder.itemView.setOnLongClickListener(new View.OnLongClickListener() {
            @Override
            public boolean onLongClick(View v) {
                if (mOnLongItemClickListener != null) {
                    mOnLongItemClickListener.ItemLongClicked(v, position);
                }

                return true;
            }
        });

In MainActivity (Activity/Fragment) create a field:

private int mCurrentItemPosition;

In your Adapter object set the custom listener:

    mAdapter.setOnLongItemClickListener(new FileAdapter.onLongItemClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void ItemLongClicked(View v, int position) {
            mCurrentItemPosition = position;
        }
    });

Now you have a yummy position for any item you long clicked on it
