Here's a simpler way to do it with Kotlin that worked for me. The major challenge is figuring out the position of the item that was pressed. Inside your adapter, you can place this code snippet and it'll be able to capture the position of the item for whom the context menu is shown; that's all.

override fun onBindViewHolder(holder: YourViewHolder, position: Int) {

...     

    holder.view.setOnCreateContextMenuListener { contextMenu, _, _ -> 
            contextMenu.add("Add").setOnMenuItemClickListener {
                    longToast("I'm pressed for the item at position => $position")
                    true    
            }       
    }       

}
